Rolled Gold Action, The SKU: GUESS153 Barcode: 4040824088071 24.00 £24.00 Genre: Psychedelia / Garage Label: Guerssen Released Date: 22nd June 2018 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Alongside the Small Faces and the Who, London’s ACTION were undoubtedly Britain’s premier mod band during the mid 1960s, and their chain of five singles for Parlophone from October 1965 to June 1967 are venerated as one of the finest runs of 45s of the period (or indeed of any period really). Subsequent releases of the group’s material such as The Ultimate Action, Rolled Gold, Uptight And Outasight and CD repackages of the band’s EMI output, plus the Action’s period of reformation, have endeared the group to a huge swell of post 60s fans and the band command a level of respect and adulation rarely bestowed on many other groups of their era. The legendary 1967-68 recordings by UK mod band THE ACTION, registered when they were in transition from mod-beat to full-blown psychedelia, just prior to becoming MIGHTY BABY. Originally recorded as a set of demos with the intention of obtaining an album deal which inexplicably never materialized, “Rolled Gold” is a collection of brilliant songs, melancholic yet powerful. The Action’s classic line-up of Reg King, Alan ‘Bam’ King, Michael Evans and Roger Powell is augmented with the inclusion of new members Martin Stone on guitar and Ian Whiteman on flute / organ. All of them are playing their hearts out: superb harmonies, great guitar work and clever arrangements which show the influence of bands like The Byrds and the psychedelic sounds that were coming from the West Coast and UK as well as jazz giants like Coltrane. Always the stuff of legend, The “Rolled Gold” tapes were shelved at the time, not released until 1997 when the Dig The Fuzz label discovered them and did a limited LP/CD run. Out of print on vinyl for many years, we present a new vinyl edition. If you dig the psychedelic era of SMALL FACES, PRETTY THINGS, THE WHO, plus THE CREATION, NAZZ, TOMORROW, BLOSSOM TOES, THE END or TRAFFIC…look no further. *Digitally remastered from the master tapes *Insert with photos and detailed liner notes by Jason Barnard (Shindig!) “It’s as if Paul Weller time-travelled back to 1967 and wrote the best songs of his career. Every track is a fully realized melodic and lyrical statement.” – Matt Collar (allmusic.com) “I could imagine, if they had been able to do them “properly,” Rolled Gold stood to be thought of as their “Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake.” – David M. Snyder (Popdiggers) “We were really excited about what we were doing and felt we were creating something fresh and new.”- Alan ‘Bam’ King “The Action never became stars, but Rolled Gold justifies the legend.” – David Fricke (Rolling Stone Magazine) Artist Action, The Genre Psychedelia / Garage Label Guerssen Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings A1.
