The Mods band name and incredible sleeve look promising, but the ‘Mod’ flavor comes entirely from using Western beat combo instruments to play traditional songs. The results are an odd combination of Pakistani melodies and rhythms with some flavor of surf music, especially from one guitarist’s use of tremolo sound. More surprising is the use of a wah pedal, which would date this Columbia EP to not much earlier than 1968.
Mohamed Sadrudin Merchant played organ. The other members of the Mods are Karim on lead guitar, Feroz on rhythm, Rehman on bass and Aziz on drums. Mohammed Yousuf is credited with arrangments, and helped produce the session.
The only info I have is from the sleeve- if anyone knows anything more please write in.
