Album Notes

"Trouser Load of Love" is a collection of the only known recordings by a long lost British rock band called The Mod-est Lads. Almost nothing is known about them, but according to sources who claim to be reliable, The Mod-est Lads were far and away the most popular group in Bladderpool, England for a brief time in 1966. Even their identities are shrouded in mystery, although it is believed that their first names were Peter, Reggie, Stu, and Simon.

If the sources are indeed credible, The Mod-est Lads instantly took Bladderpool by storm with their ultra-stylish wardrobes, catchy arrangements, and light-hearted, often defiantly naughty lyrics. However, just as they seemed destined for superstardom, they abruptly disbanded only a few weeks after exploding onto the scene. The reasons for their break-up are unknown, and the explanations that have been offered are too ludicrous to be taken seriously. All that is known for sure is that they never played again, and were eventually forgotten by all but their most obsessive fans.

The truth about the Mod-est Lads is a matter of considerable, and occasionally bitter, controversy among the uniquely dedicated few who stubbornly insist that the answer is relevant. Although these recordings may have been made over thirty-five years ago by four promising young British musicians who subsequently vanished without a trace, it's also quite possible that it wasn't. The facts may never be known.
