Episode 4 and we reach the top of the Mod 100 as selected by 60's mod Randy Cozens for Sounds Magazine 

Randy Cozens, a mod from the 60s who later founded the 6TS soul club, used to write letter after letter to ‘Sounds’, ‘NME’ and all the other music papers in 1979 urging young mods to check the ‘real heritage of their mod forefathers’ at a time when revival bands were the music of choice.

Eventually, ‘Sounds’ asked Randy to compile a Mod Top 100 of what was termed ‘real mod music’. The list ran as part of a Bank Holiday edition in August ’79, made up of 97 soul/jazz records, two ska records and one false track (named after Ian Clarke, the soul DJ) to prevent anyone claiming they have all 100.

Episode 2 of 4 covering the 1979 sounds magazine list of the top 100 mod tuns as supplied by Randy Cosens, founder of the 6T's soul club. This is songs 75 to 51

Randy Cozens founder of the 6T's soul club produced a list of 100 tunes that the Mod Revivalists of the late 70's should listen to to discover Mods roots. The list first appeared in Sounds Magazine's 1978 August Bank Holiday Issue
