They recorded this EP on stage live, which you can hear in a few of the other tracks. This was another one donated by 'Bruno from Brazil' (are there any other Bruno's who visit ASFM?) so I

Although 'TV's on the Blink' is the standout track, theres a decent cover of 'The Velvet Underground's, I'm Waiting for My Man'. The second track 'Downtown Boys' is OK, but for me, the next best track is 'Do The Strangle', I love it. But as usual I'll leave it to you, leave a comment and tell ASFM what you think of the Action.

The label is called Montreco. The same label also released a 12" by Belfast band Pretty Boy Floyd & The Gems (licensed from Rip Off Records). The 'Floyd record also came in one of those black and white die cut 'disco style' bags with the Montreco logo and 'punk rock' written on it. Both the Action and 'Floyd records had a picture insert with at least some copies.
Thanks for that James, I have updated my spelling mistake on the label.
You are right about the picture insert, however 'the Action' removed them when they discovered how bad the picture was, so I guess the picture is quite rare today.
