Mad Mod-Miniskirt / One Too Many Mornings

Released in the mid-1960s on the boutique Chicory Records label, this single sits firmly within the short-lived but vibrant intersection of mod fashion culture and pop music. The record was produced during a period when record labels sought to capitalize on the aesthetic revolution of London’s Carnaby Street, often bridging the gap between garage pop and the emerging youth-oriented boutique scene. The inclusion of the track 'Mad Mod-Miniskirt' serves as a clear thematic anchor, directly nodding to the era's sartorial obsession with shorter hemlines and high-energy dance trends.

The recording credits reflect a collaborative effort between the groups Pat Bannister and The Coffeys, who were typical of the regional studio-based acts commissioned by independent labels to capture a specific, fleeting sound. The design of the release, characterized by the minimalist and slightly industrial typography common to Chicory catalog issues, was intended to project a sense of modern, urban sophistication. While the record achieved limited commercial reach at the time, it is now regarded by collectors of mid-century ephemera as a quintessential document of mid-sixties mod kitsch.
