UK collection from the North London mod act led by duo Frank Aiello and Steve Jameson, the latter a Stamford Hill mod alongside Marc Bolan. The band was managed from 1966 by David Nicolson and Ken Pitt, who also had David Bowie in the stable of artists. Tracks benefitted from fine collaborators including arranger Johnny Harris, musicians Alan Price and Mitch Mitchell on 'Jailer Bring Me Water', Big Jim Sullivan on several tracks including the double electric guitar parts on 'Old Ma Brown', and Jimmy Page on 'Sueno' and 'I Can't Make It Alone'. Further standout tracks include the driving and punchy 'Who's Wrong', the high octane version of 'Hey Gyp', and the mod club rocker 'Baby You Got It'. Sleeve notes include new interviews with Jameson, Aiello and Nicolson and photos from their archives. Frank Aiello later joined Cozy Powell to form Bedlam in the '70s, at which time Steve Jameson scored a Northern Soul hit as Nosmo King before switching to a long career in comedy.
