Notes: We
gotta face it here, the Brits had the lock on both the fashion
and the music in the early eighties. The mod black and white trend,
in both color of fabric and players, with it's island beat and
strong horn sections got people up and moving on the dance floor.
And it didn't sacrifice it's edge for the sake of a danceable hook
or a pleasant pop tune. There were strong opinions here along with
the driving bass beats and such. A jacket, a hat and a pair of
distinctive shades are the uniform of the day. This collection
is a good look at the cream of the crop. A pair of tasseled loafers
and some crazy checked socks on the front cover let you in on the
game and if that's not enough there's a group of photos on the
other side to get you a little closer to the action. Slip this
one onto the record-changer at your next hop and see the kids hit
the floor and skank, wiggle and pogo the night away.
