The Chords, Purple Hearts, Squire etc were part of my teens as a young Mod from Belfast during the revival period. Still sounds fantastic all these years later 😎

the chords lp was better than in the city......so had the potential to be a rival to the jam and if allowed to devlope potentially superior. just my opinion !!! mods rule.@@williammark3210

I'd say The Chords were #3 in the top mod revival bands. The Jam being #1 and The Lambrettas being #2. All the others... meh IMHO.

It's called choice, if no one else is going to sing a song that you've written, in the style you want it sung then you have to do it yourself. Unlike the voice where people can questionably sing someone else's song ( well ) but , couldn't right a decent song to save their lives.
