The Action were among the best British garage-rock-meets-psychedelic acts of the mid-1960s, and Rolled Gold comprehensively documents their influential but relatively brief career. Released in 2002, this compilation gathers their mod-inflected garage rock gems, where fuzzy guitars and youthful energy collide with surprisingly sophisticated melodic sensibilities. The band operated in that perfect sweet spot where garage rock aggression met psychedelic adventurousness and mod polish. Their songs crackle with hooks and vitality, informed by American garage rock but distinctly British in sensibility. For fans of British Invasion garage rock or anyone interested in the intersection between The Who's early work and full-blown psychedelia, this is indispensable.
