Re-Chordings: The Chords 1979-82

Remember these back when I was a mod and and although I purchased Maybe Tomorrow on 7 inch single I never really paid a lot of attention to this band due to following The Jam at the time. Bought this compilation and was quite surprised how good they were with lots of interesting re-takes on some of their hits. Live recordings sound good better than some I have previously heard of other bands of that period. Overall glad I purchased this and for any previous fan well worth buying for the unreleased recordings.

Never thought I'd ever see anything like this. The soundtrack of my teens. Saw them live over 30 times. I can't recommend this enough. Go Buddy Go! Bring on the book.

It is a CD, take a wild guess what I used it for.

I loved the Chords. If the Jam hadn’t existed maybe they would have achieved mass recognition?Still sound crisp & interesting reworks to old favourites.Like meeting an old friend that was a major influence previously

So far away was a great album, and it still sounds great!! Some great songs on here but very repetative

A great collection of a top band happy memories

great group, a must for any chords fan or any mods would recommend

Fantastic

Molto bello

this is a really nice clam shell 5 cd box set that probably covers most of what the chords recorded way back in the day, the chords where one of the great 1979 mod revival bands in the uk and the title says it all right on the front of the box recordings 1978 to 1981, all 5 discs are fantastically remastered for the best sound, all 5 discs come in mini lp style jackets, the last song on disc two ANOTHER THING COMING is from 2010 when the chords put out a reunion single, EVERYTHING else across these 5 discs is from there hey day, im one of the few yanks that really liked a lot of the mod revival bands 40 years ago that THE JAM helped spearhead a couple years earlier in 1977, it would be nice to see more clam shell box releases by other great outfits from this scene like THE JOLT, MERTON PARKAS, THE LAMBRETTAS, THE HEADBOYS, SEMA 4 & so many others that lasted those few years, as for the VAPORS & THE JAM we got plenty of deluxed reissues over the years. also this comes with a great booklet....

The Chords , uno de mis grupos favoritos del British Revival Mod. Esta edición contiene (5 cd ) temas de estudio, versiones previas,rarezas e interpretaciones en BBC y directo, que no es poco. Sólo echo en falta para que fuese perfecto que hubiera traído un dvd. Energía juvenil sin contención pero bien canalizada , lo que distinguió el movimiento Mod de aquellos años del Punk.

The 'mighty' Chords - Almost everything they ever did, put together in a stylish package. Complete with an excellent booklet written by Brett Buddy Ascott.Great songs, great boxset!

Came across this thanks to Pandora playlist. Hadn't heard of them before (don't live in England), took a chance and it paid off. Great music, only wish they made more!
