Dead straight pocket guide to Mod
Anderson, Paul2018
Book
Mod has its roots in London with a group of young men in the late 1950s who were known as modernists because they listened to modern jazz. This text covers fashion including the use of the Union Flag and RAF roundel; music including bands such as The Who, Small Faces and Yardbirds who were associated with the music and locations such as The Eel Pie Island Hotel at Twickenham near London; amphetamines, the mod drug of choice that fuelled marathon all-night dancing; and scooters including Vespas and Lambrettas often highly customised.
