The Action - Action Packed (DEMON DELUXE)


















The Action - Action Packed (DEMON DELUXE) - 2014

From Wikipedia

The Action foi uma banda britânica mod ativa entre os anos de 1963 e 1969 e era formada por Reg King (vocais), Mike Evans (baixo), Roger Powell (bateria), Alan King e Peter Watson (guitarras) e era produzida por George Martin, famoso por ter trabalhado contemporaneamente com os Beatles.

Contratados da Parlophone, a banda era influenciada pela música soul americana e no seu repertório encontravam-se versões de músicas originalmente gravadas por artistas das gravadoras Motown e Stax, como Wilson Pickett, The Temptations e Martha Reeves & The Vandellas. Apesar de receberem boas críticas na época, a banda nunca foi um sucesso de vendas, tendo seu público limitado aos mods.

Em 1967, Reg King saiu da banda e o The Action mudou de nome para Mighty Baby, agora com Alan King nos vocais, e um estilo mais voltado para o rock progressivo, psicodélico e folk. Enquanto isso, Reg King teve um breve carreira solo, lançando apenas um disco homônimo em 1971 com participação de antigos parceiros do The Action, além de músicos famosos como Mick Taylor (Rolling Stones) e Steve Winwood (The Spencer Davis Group, Traffic e Blind Faith). O Mighty Baby acabaria em 1971. Alan King formaria a seguir o grupo Ace, ativa até 1977.

Entre o material disponível do The Action encontram-se compilações dos singles lançados até 1967 (Action Packed e The Ultimate Action), bem como a reunião de material ao vivo intitulada Uptight and Outasight e o disco Rolled Gold, que apresenta remasterizações de músicas do grupo gravadas entre 1967 e 1969 previamente não realizadas. Este último apresenta apenas músicas autorais, onde a banda funde o soul com a psicodelia do final da década.

 
*/*/*

NB: Action Packed foi originalmente lançado com 17 faixas e este que agora é postado vem com um total de 38 títulos. Foram adicionadas apresentações na BBC rádio nos anos de 1966 e 1967 e, a mais legal, de um show realizado em 1988, em Londres . Este set, é bom frisar, não chega a ser inédito, pois ele está presente no CD 2 da compilação "Uptight And Outasight".

Reg King - Reg King (repost)



















Reg King - Reg King  - 1971

Reginald King (born 5 February 1945; died 8 October 2010), who has died from cancer aged 65, was one of the most accomplished white British soul singers of the 1960s. Fronting his band the Action, King was the equal of Steve Marriott, Steve Winwood or Rod Stewart, with a voice that was smooth, unhurried and deeply soulful.

King, left, with the Action in 1965



The Action were the mods' band of choice: less pop than their contemporaries the Who and the Small Faces, with a repertoire that included versions of the latest soul singles imported from America. Part of their appeal lay in the fact that they remained underground: despite boasting a devoted live following, and being feted by the Beatles producer George Martin, the band never charted and remained largely unknown until the mod revivals of the 1980s and 90s.
