Excellent two CD set from the British mod band. The mod revival of the late '70s and early '80s spawned a number of acts who enjoyed mainstream success, foremost among them Lewes' pop rockers The Lambrettas. Signed to Elton John's Rocket Records, the band had three UK charting singles including their #7 cover of the Leiber and Stoller classic 'Poison Ivy'. This compilation includes both of their studio albums, as well as non-LP studio and live tracks, and a 16 page booklet chock full of rare photos, ads and singles' art, with notes by Chris Hunt. 'Beat Boys in the Jet Age is every bit the 'classic' album and deserves to be heard by anyone with a passion for power pop, jangle pop, mod, and new wave. '
