Mod Mania Cd - A Way Of Life

[Ian Seaman]

I have this CD and notice that 2 tracks,

Gloria Jones - Tainted love & R Dean Taylor - Ghost in my house are both non original tracks

this is a Universal CD and the other 48 tracks are all original so this is baffling me as to why they would use these 2 poor inferior tracks, both sound semi disco ish lol

Anyone any ideas why ??

Cheers, Ian.

Any CD crass enough to be called 'Mod Mania: A Way of Life' should be avoided as should anything with titles such as 'Keeping the Faith' 'Out on the Floor' or 'Casino Classics'.

More properly it should be called 'Cheapo Cash-in: Buy Me You Mug'.

Now to be honest I haven't seen this CD myself but it's even money that it's got a target somewhere on the cover!

I think there is an alternative version of RDT on one of their other mod compilations too. I'll have a check in the morning.

And that's precisely the market they're aiming for. This will probably outsell far better and more serious compilations by a margin of 20:1 believe it or not. Strange but true.

the same thing happend with a cd done by dmc/mastermix a few years ago of Northern soul. they somehow put like 2 re-records of songs on it. One being The Tams Be Young Be Foolish Be Happy

what gets me is Universal have done CD's in the past and used the original to both tracks in question, so why not now
