Three CD set. Eagerly awaited sequel to 2020's successful Halcyon Days, that was itself inspired by the RPM Records bespoke compilations Looking Back, Keep Lookin' and Night Comes Down.

With previously unissued Mod R&B tracks from The Fingers, The SW4 and The Trendbender Band and much more. Disc Two includes Mod legends The Who and Small Faces and fuzz- drenched stompers from The Pretty Things, The Artwoods and The Downliners Sect, while on Disc Three the music gets groovier, more psychedelic and then heavier with acts including Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger And The Trinity, The Easybeats (with Steve Marriott on backing vocals) and Steve Ellis.
