The UK’s premier Mod record label
An even more concise history
Detour Records was formed in 1992 by prominent mod Dizzy as he followed his passion of record collecting down its ultimate path. Previously the founding member and ace face of one of the top scootering clubs in the UK, Midhurst Detour Scooter Club, the label went through the roof shortly after the first few releases.
Since then, Detour Records has amassed an impressive catalogue of top quality releases across 7”, LP and CD formats, encompassing new mod bands keeping the flame alive as well as classic re-issues of records from the late 70’s ‘mod revival’. Power-pop bands mix casually with traditional 60’s type Hammond groups to produce a roster of mod bands second to none.
In addition to the many UK-based bands on the label, Detour put out slabs by groups from Europe and USA, making Detour a truly worldwide phenomenon.
For the fuller, official history, visit the Detour Records website where you’ll find all the information and news you’ll need.
Here at Reflex, I also take this as a personal passion, being an old mod from the halcyon days of ’79-’81, when The Jam ruled my world!
I became switched on to the label in the mid-nineties and am an avid collector myself, so I can assure you each Detour release is of the highest quality in both musical content and presentation.
