Los Motos Locos, It’s A Way Of Life

This show is a real mixed bag of tunes that should relate to Mods of all ages. A solid 1 hr 5 mins of great music from the 60's, 70's, 80's and beyond, featuring the likes of The Jam, Quincy Jones, Ocean Colour Scene, Captain Beafheart, The Small Faces, Making Time, Toots and the Maytals, Squire, and many many more 

To follow on from last weeks show, we are going to track month by month some of the best album releases of 1980. 1 hr 31 minutes of music, 26 tracks from 24 bands including, The Clash, The Jam, Secret Affair, The Chords, The Lambrettas, Purple Hearts, The Specials, The Beat, Madness, Bad Manners, The Selecter and many more 

On the 19th of October 1979 The Specials released their first album, called The Specials. On the same day Madness released One Step Beyond. Two of my favourite albums released on the same day, of the same month, in the same year, and that got me thinking, what else was released that year, so for your listening pleasure today we spend nearly 1 hr and 40 mins going month by month, playing tracks from some of the greatest albums released in 1979.

Music from Elvis Costello, The Clash, B52’s, Tubeway Army, The Sex Pistols, The Boomtown Rats, The Jam, Bob Marley, The Police, and of course, The Specials, Madness and many more

1 Hr of blues, soul, beat and boogaloo from the 1960's 

1 hr 13 minutes of music from 4 of the biggest 60's soul labels 

Continuing on from last weeks show this week we have another 24 great track taken from the triple album box set called The Trojan Story. Just over 1 hr 11 minutes of great tracks from the likes of The Maytals, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Alton Ellis, Desmond Dekker & The Aces, Sir Lord Comic and many many more. 

Part 1 of a collection of Trojan songs taken from the triple album box set The Trojan Story originally released in 1972 

Todays show has tracks from Laurel Aitken & The Carib Beats, Jackie Edwards, Stranger Cole, Lord Tanamo, The Clarendonians, and many many more great artists. 24 tracks in just over an hour and 10 mins, with part 2 to follow next week.   

The extended version of Dance Craze was released by Chrysalis Records on March 24, 2023. It features the previously unreleased 27-track live film soundtrack alongside the original 14-track vinyl album;

For this show I have taken that 27 track live album and found the studio single and album releases of all 27 tracks. 

There's a lot of music to get through, so very little talking from me to get in your way of enjoying the music from The Specials, Madness, Bad Manners, The Bodysnatchers, The Selecter and The Beat
