Description
Welcome To The Club! Another Jasmine Records adventure in UK clubland where they continue their exploration of the "Club Beat" - the roots of Mod, R&B and Soul - that coalesced in the bohemian melting pot of Soho, London, post WW2.
In this chapter they explore the roots of the 'Mod' generation that was born in and around Soho at the turn of the Sixties. The journey takes us to genre defining clubs such as the subterranean 'Club Americana', hidden in the basement of the Mapleton Hotel, The Flamingo - THE Mod hangout in the West End - and the ground-breaking Scene Club, where Guy Stevens hosted his pioneering R&B Disc Nights which cemented the sound and face of Modernism.
Features hits by Lee Dorsey and Mary Wells and new-to-CD tracks including: "Russian Roulette" by Lester Lanin, "Steppin' High" by Little Luther and many rarities. Includes illustrated and informative liner notes.
"I'm still a mod, I'll always be a mod, you can bury me a mod." - Paul Weller
