For The Mod-Curious

"The "Darlings of Wapping Wharf Laundrette" and the Decca Anthology are equally worthy purchases (The former covering the exact same ground), and "The Best Of Immediate" compilation is a heftier 4 -CD box-set by the same label (Charly). Still, although it really doesn't matter which of the four you get, I prefer this, only because of its no-frills nature. If you're looking for a 40-page fawning lecture by, say, Paul Weller about the importance of The Small Faces, look elsewhere. This is for people who know what mod rock is and who just want to hear it. Plus, the newer a compilation is, the better the remastering quality."
