(A) The Mode was a 60's pop group from the Thundersley area of Essex. They recorded a four track privately-pressed EP in 1967, which is now extremely rare. In May 1967, they were spotted by a Decca talent scout and invited to Decca's London studio to record two tracks - "Eastern Music" and "In This World Of Mine" - which the label subsequently decided not to release, although "Eastern Music" later appeared on one of the 'Rubble' LP:s. When Decca lost interest the band split soon after.
