Formed in Thundersley, Essex circa 1965. Privately released a four track E.P. in 1967. The Mode were picked out by a talent scout from Decca records in May, 1967 and invited down the studios in West Hampstead to record two of their songs. Decca selected two songs for a proposed debut single release later that year. The proposed single was: Eastern Music (Back to Front) b/w In This World Of Mine. Although it was scheduled for a release in 1967, Decca lost interest and the single was never released.
