      We take as our text the hard working bands of England in the mid 60's R&B boom. Centring on the band actually called The In Crowd RPM then piece together the other groups and artists that attracted the Mod crowds of the time, collectively making up their own 'in crowd '. As it happens there are two other compilations recently launched on the marketplace also going by the same name The In Crowd. RPMs album is very much a compliment album to both Universals 4 CD set and the Sanctuary Music 2 CD set, to the extent that there are no duplicated tracks on the RPM set with either of the others. It takes one point of the Universal set, the white Uk mod acts of the mid 60's and expands on that theme. Thus the RPM set stands up on its own as a highly valued collection of quality '60's UK mod R&B.
      Finally as a bonus we have a priceless three minute video clip included on an Enhanced CD track which contains footage of the Mod band Four +1 'in situ ' in 1964. Todays listener can be transported back to those days as the band stroll down the Kings Road, past a line of parked Vespas to check on the latest fashion stores. Then relive the sweaty clubs as they see the band on stage. Its great music, its got the right bands such as The Action, The Artwoods, The Yardbirds, Manish Boys (yes, Bowie), its got the right sleeve (Phil Smee who also packaged the Universal set) and packaging, its got film footage, it's the right price - its got the lot !
