Mods!

This book is the essential guide to the 1960s mod world and a visual documentary of that great era. Appropriately, it has been published by Eel Pie, Pete Townshend's publishing company. The book starts with a description about who the mods were and what is was to be a mod. Being a mod became the fashion of the 1960s, largely based around clothes but taking in other aspects such as music, pills and visiting the clubs of the time like the Scene, the Crawdaddy and West End clubs. The book describes some of the clubs. The Crawdaddy on Eel Pie Island has a place in history as the club where the Rolling Stones and Yardbirds made their names. The Animals and the High Numbers played a lot at the Scene. The Marquee may be linked for ever to the Who but it started as a jazz club and it took some persuasion to move away from this. A visual documentary, a souvenir for those who were there and a slice of visual history for everybody.
