More Info
• MILLIONS LIKE US is the first-ever box set to properly document the Mod Revival scene of the late Seventies and Eighties.
• Across 100 tracks by all the key bands, the story of the Mod Revival is told, from its roots in Punk/New Wave through to its commercial heyday in 1979 with bands like Secret Affair and The Lambrettas and its resurrection in 1985 with The Untouchables and Makin’ Time.
• The box set is being launched with a special live event at Wimbledon AFC – details TBC.
• Millions Like Us follows the success of other genre-defining Cherry Red box sets (e.g. Scared To Get Happy).
• Many tracks have never been on CD before – and The Upset’s ‘Only For Sheep’ is previously unissued.
• The box set boasts several Top 40 UK hit singles by Secret Affair, The Chords, The Lambrettas, The Untouchables and The Truth.
• The Mod scene continues to endure, with several books, films and TV programmes in 2014 to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Mod’s breakthrough back in 1964.
• The box set boasts lengthy sleeve-notes and numerous rare photos within a substantial booklet.
