Looking Good – 75 Femme Mod Soul Nuggets Box Set

[Guest Pompeylor]

I saw this on the Modculture website and thought I'd flag it up for interest. I'm particularly into Southern Soul at the mo so not sure if it's my cup of tea at the moment.

 

 

Following on from the Looking Back mod box set comes another interesting (and related) release from Cherry Red, the Looking Good — 75 Femme Mod Soul Nuggets box set.

 

It’s out on RPM via Cherry Red, covering three discs and according to the write-up, compiled by Glenn Gunton, with booklet essay by Mojo and Record Collector scribe Lois Wilson and Looking Back creator John Reed.

 

As for the music, that’s described as 75 collectable ’60s soul grooves and rarities from the vaults of Columbia, Challenge, Hickory, Era, King, Scepter, Musicor, Cameo, Swan, Velgo, ABC, Dial, Lawn and Okeh, including plenty or rarities plus unreleased and first time on CD tracks.

 

The shelf date being 29th July. You can pre-order now at Amazon for £21. The tracklisting is at

Looks brilliant.  I'd buy but have 80% already, great track list though

The CD set is a wee bit expensive (£21) for what it contains (but is a 3 x CD set I suppose) .............

...............  other NS comp CD's seem to start at around £4 / £5 each these days.

 

This earlier release in the series should go down well with fans of 60's UK beat groups .........

A wee bit pricey for me also, but it looks great and I'm very tempted.

Thanks for sharing the link though.

Blimey, thought I knew my 'femme mod soul' but only know a few of those...

[Ady Croasdell]

Not really mod soul, more good girlie groups. Many out on Acve and Kent already but a nice collection. I wonder if they know the Naomi Harris story!

I agree Ady ... A sublime selection of femme songs.. I have seen the the Naomi story ... What a sad situation that is

Trust all is good with you
