If you’re looking for a place to start collecting vintage soul, this is it – and many of the tracks can still be picked up for a fairly modest rate. The list is reproduced below in full and while many modern-day collectors might write a number off as ‘tired’ or ‘old hat’, it’s hard to disagree with their merits as top-notch dancefloor tunes of the early to mid-60s. The list has been massively influential since. 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.Įddie, like many others, started to collect the tunes on the list, developing a tasty setlist for DJing and a passion for the music of that era. Randy CozensĪccording to Eddie in that past interview on the site, 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.Įventually, ‘Sounds’ asked Randy to compile a Mod Top 100 of what was termed ‘real mod music’. This was his work and a hugely influential one too. Obviously the article isn’t written by the late Randy Cozens, but it’s only right that his name should be next to it. We accidentally lost the complete list from the site, but now it’s back – to inspire a new generation. ![]() Some time ago, we ran an article with Eddie Piller that mentioned the Mod Top 100 by Randy Cozens. The result was The Mod Top 100 as compiled by Randy Cozens. But it may contain affiliate links.īest 100 mod tunes of all time? One man had it nailed. Note that I independently write and research everything in this article.
