I've seen a lot of blokes recently wearing desert boots, which irritates me. Partly because I hate it when a long time staple of my wardrobe gets popular- I don't want to look like everybody else. Should I stop wearing them until the trend subsides or persist? When I look closely I notice they're usually not Clarks' desert boots, so, um, they've got it wrong haven't they? Desert Boots which aren't Clarks? Lunacy. Which, sadly, makes me feel better. I should probably, by my age, have got over these things, but I can't help it. The mod in me never dies.
This is Better In Black by top mod revivalists and Medway garage-rock band The Prisoners, from their 1982 album A Taste Of Pink, re-issued on cd a while back and available at most download stores, as is the album shown above The Last Fourfathers, which has a much better cover. Better In Black is top quality guitar and organ action from Graham Day, James Taylor (later of The James Taylor Quartet), Allan Crockford and Johnny Symons.

I love my Clarks Dessie Boots. Didn't muck like the Prisoners or any of the Mod Revivalist stuff, that was Dave The Mod's scene.
I like the sound of Dave the Mod.
Still is a mod. It was mandatory in those days to have one in your scooter club
This must have been Graham Day weekend or something.
