This is the memoir of a teenage mod from the East End of London. A journey of discovery for a school boy dabbling with punk, funk, record shops, discos and clothes, and then... WHAAAM! An unstoppable wave of like-minded kids fall headlong in love with '60s mod culture, revived and reformatted for the '70s and '80s generation. Eddie Piller was one such kid. His life was changed forever. Written with humour, passion and attention to detail, this is perhaps the ultimate mod memoir, taking us from meeting the Small Faces as a toddler, to the 1979 mod revival, through the more purist 1980s mod scene and eventually to Acid Jazz. A born storyteller, Eddie takes us evocatively into a world of scooters, clothes, and music. We run with the crowd to decaying seaside towns, East End backstreet boozers and sweaty teenage gigs, all fizzing with an uncontainable excitement and often exploding into violence. Once mod touched your soul it changed the way you looked at life, unexpectedly broadening your horizons. In Eddie it awakens a can-do attitude that sees him setting up a fanzine, putting on club nights, hustling jobs in the music industry, and eventually setting up a record label. It even takes him to Ireland at the height of the troubles and to Australia where the local mods take him on a military exercise.
