The Action were a 60s mod band from London. Not sure they ever released a studio album but there are plenty of compilations, including a 'lost album', available. This 27-song compilation comprises all their original BBC sessions, as well as a reunion gig from 1998 that takes up disc 2. With this many songs it's bound to be patchy, but there are some excellent songs here: I'll Keep On Holding On, Never Ever and Shadows And Reflections all stand out. Most of these are Action originals, as far as I know, and the second disc is bogged down a bit by covers of old blues numbers. If you want to get into the Action this is probably not a very good place to start, but if you're already familiar with them you can do worse than to download this. Recommended to anyone who likes the Mod bands of the 60s or early Small Faces.
