Action Records Albums

[robhallam]

Does anybody have a list of all Albums released on Action. I have the following:

'oh how it hurts' -Barbara Mason - Action 6002

'Dry your eyes' - Brenda and the Tabulations - Action 6003

Is there a guide to Album, 12 inch and Reggae records as these don't feature in the Manship guides.

Thanks

Rob

action 6009 Various Artists - These Kind Of Blues

Got a spare of this, and the Betty Harris somewhere...

I have the entire label barring (i think) two 45s... I'm currently in the process of constructing a web-site with full label scans and reviews... maybe even soundfiles if I can work out how to host them...

thats the one do they all have plain white labels or is mine a dud ?demo?

[pikeys dog]

Test pressing probably - no significant difference in value though - unless it's got a different track listing to the finished album.

[pikeys dog]

There's also an album by Jimmy Reed on the label - "Down In Virginia" - but without it in front of me, I can't recall the release number...

Contains a full listing of albums...unfortunately it only covers the first 45 series (red/yellow and green/black labels)

Although I've never seen a copy of the Eddie Burns LP on UK Action - all the copies I've seen have been on B&C - I think this may be a mistake copied from an earlier incorrect listing...

Can you post up a pic of the sleee and a scan of the label?

As I've said, I've never seen one and would love to see confirmation that it exists on the Action label.

I've never had this LP.. is it for sale? or can you PM me a track listing.. I've got the track listing on all the other ones.. Also I have just purchased a full Action label run of 45s. Although I've listed a few recently..which two are you missing, I may still have them...90% were mint unplayed?

[pikeys dog]

Yes the album is available - preferably for trades...

I'm looking for copies of The Chosen Few - Funky Butter, The Hideaways - Hide Out on Red/Yellow and the promotional Action/People 45 that has snippets of releases on the label...

[Denbo]

There's also an album by Jimmy Reed on the label - "Down In Virginia" - but without it in front of me, I can't recall the release number...
