A recent review of the album by the modpoppunk archives says-
''Moderation" is the complete history of ''79 mod revival band RUN 229 ''s recordings. One of the most brilliant self-reissue record you''ll hear this year
This is a compilation album of 70''s mod band RUN229 which has been loving remastered by the band. The CD contains the now cult single ''soho'' which is a vary rare and sought after addition to any mods https://www.tradebit.comre are also a few surprise extra tracks on this CD including the band playing live in the late 70''S IN The Bridge House Canning Town. For anybody that saw the band this is a must trip down memory lane and for those that didn''t an excursion into the atmosphere of the 1970''s where punk and scooter met heavy metal, rock and roll and the emerging sound of reggae. Run229 captured all of the fusion of the era and more, and where the forerunners of the ''white reggae'' sound that catapulted the Police to stardom. The band drew it''s roots from just about every conceivable direction and the songs are unlike other mod band''s of the time because of their dark and slightly ironic look at growing up in the 70''https://www.tradebit.com one who saw RUN229 in North Wales London and Liverpool in the late 70''s or early 80''s will know what a fine outfit they were and what a great live sound they had.
The band was formed out of a mismatch of other bands in the post punk ''New Wave'' era. Founder member Ray Bibby (drums) wanted to put together a Mod Band like his idols The Who. He started looking in the spring on 1979 and brought in Singer Mark Allen from an old Hippy Rock band called Hybrid. Steve Jones on Lead guitar fresh from playing with himself in front of his bedroom mirror. Nick Carr who had just started playing bass in between rolling spliffs and finally John Tallon Jones Guitarist and songwriter also from Hybrid.
RUN229 Myth- Everybody assumes that the band got it''s name off the numberplate of their van. The band told it differently. Ray decided on the name after a piss up and made the rest of the band search around for the number Plate.
