Paperback. It's over forty years since The Jam inspired a new generation with their All Mod Cons album - released in the dying months of 1978. But the Mod revival was far more than just a one-band phenomenon inspired by the arrival of the film version of The Who's Quadrophenia. A succession of groups including The Purple Hearts, The Jolt, The Chords and Secret Affair amongst many others added to Weller's powerful songs with great tunes. It was a movement that had been growing organically for more than a year and was a fitting answer to the increasingly grim post-punk scene with hits such as: 'David Watts', 'The Modern World', 'Down in the Tube Station at Midnight', 'Eton Rifles', 'That's Entertainment', 'Going Underground'. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.

It was a movement that had been growing organically for more than a year and was a fitting answer to the increasingly grim post-punk scene with hits such as: ‘David Watts’, ‘The Modern World’, ‘Down in the Tube Station at Midnight’, ‘Eton Rifles’, ‘That’s Entertainment’, ‘Going Underground’...
