FIX 1 THE ACTION FOLLOW ME 7" 10.2019
A FOLLOW ME
B CLIMBING UP THE WALL (SEE ME)
The Action are known to most are purveyors of some of the finest blue-eyed soul to
emerge from the London club scene, thrilling a feverish mod crowd with their setlist
of Motown and soul covers interspersed with a strong set of original numbers. As music
styles changed so did The Action, taking on board psychedelic tones but still being
a vehicle for Reg King's Steve Marriott equalling vocals. A new set of tracks were
recorded during 1967/68 in the hope of releasing a LP after leaving Parlophone.
This album never materialised until the mid '90s when 'Rolled Gold' let the world
hear just how bloody good this band was - another criminally overlooked group.
Solution Records are more than happy to release two of those tracks on one 7"
single - the riff-laden 'Follow Me' and the bridge between the band's mod and psych
status with the emotive 'Climbing Up The Wall'. 7" single in company sleeve.

FIX 2 MIRAGE TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS 7" 10.2019
1 TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS
2 HOLD ON
The stage should have been set for The Mirage, who through their association with
Dick James Publishing and Larry Page got to hear The Beatles' 'Revolver' album before
it was released, prompting this release... a cover of the album-ender which stands up
with any other Beatles cover - not an easy track to take on, but The Mirage pulled
it off. Released four months after 'Revolver' came out, this is the first licensed
re-release of the track. The flip 'Hold On' has a heavy debt to 'Revolver' too -
'Taxman' comes to mind. 7" heavyweight single in company sleeve.
