  • Description

    RE-PRESS: CD ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2018


    The most comprehensive tribute to The Action so far assembled, boasting all their known recordings in the studio and live on radio/TV.


    Featuring many of the original Parlophone single mixes that have never been re-issued in their original form


    Including numerous photos of The Action in their heyday, with 16,000 words of sleevenotes by David Wells and a 36-page booklet within a handsome 4-CD ‘digibook’.


    Includes all previous material issued from the band’s BBC sessions and post-Parlophone period, suitably remastered by Alec Palao.


    Sixties Mod band The Action only released six singles in their lifetime – or seven, if you count a pre-Action single by The Boys – but their legend has grown exponentially since their demise in 1968.


    The Action was the first band signed by Beatles producer George Martin after he left EMI to set up his own company AIR
