Rolled Gold

London beat band The Action never released an album in their lifetime. This release is a demo for an album that was never made and a classic of semi-psychedelic mod beat music, full of pretty melodies, classic sixties-sounding chord progressions and sparkling vocal harmonies. It’s from that sweet spot in sixties British rock when burgeoning psychedelia and folk-rock met with the RnB/soul/blues that had influenced so much of the UK’s beat groups. The sound quality isn’t top-notch because it’s only a demo but the songwriting still shines through on this classic lost mod album.
