Randy Cozens Top 100 mod tunes part 3

Randy Cozens, a mod from the 60s who later founded the 6TS soul club, used to write letter after letter to ‘Sounds’, ‘NME’ and all the other music papers in 1979 urging young mods to check the ‘real heritage of their mod forefathers’ at a time when revival bands were the music of choice. Eventually, ‘Sounds’ asked Randy to compile a Mod Top 100 of what was termed ‘real mod music’. The list ran as part of a Bank Holiday edition in August ’79, made up of 97 soul/jazz records, two ska records and one false track (named after Ian Clarke, the soul DJ) to prevent anyone claiming they have all 100.
