And there's Heavy Soul that's now onto issue 14. www.heavysoul45s.co.uk
And if your into the scooter side of things there's Scootering and also Classic Scooterist Scene.
It's not strictly mod but Shindig! magazine is well worth buying. It covers well known and also some quite obscure 60s artists etc.

It's also available in WHSmith.

Yes, Sussed is great, professionally made, and I don´t miss an issue of Heavy Soul either.

It's very individualistic. Sites like this are good. This one was one bloke's idea and designed by him and it's more or less directed by the people who use it who are all interested in the same sort of thing. The fanzines of years ago were the same sort of thing but obviously much more limited.
