Description: Flamin' Groovies - Shake Some Action - Limited Edition Color Vinyl - New & Sealed - Ships Fast!!! Shake Some Action is the fourth studio album by American rock band the Flamin' Groovies. The album was originally released in June 1976 by Sire Records. The title Shake Some Action originates from a line in the 1965 film None but the Brave. With direct musical influences from the British Invasion and inspiration under the San Francisco sun, the album has earned a perfect five-star review from AllMusic and an 8.5/10 from Pitchfork Ian S. Port of San Francisco Weekly stated that Shake Some Action "influenced the rise of power pop and punk in America, and remains a vital document of that era." In a retrospective review of the album, Mark Deming of AllMusic opined that "if Shake Some Action was the first salvo from the new and improved Flamin' Groovies, it also demonstrated that this edition of the band had as much promise as the Loney-fronted group," calling the title track "a brilliant evocation of the adventurous side of British rock circa 1966 ... [which] by its lonesome served as a superb justification for The Groovies' new creative direction." Joe Tangari of Pitchfork wrote that Shake Some Action "is in every sense both a comeback and a re-invention, and it's been rightly championed by collectors and critics extolling its effortless pop perfection." In 2014, the title track was one of the ten selected by Greil Marcus for his book The History of Rock 'n' Roll in Ten Songs:In "Shake Some Action" everything is new, as if the secret [of rock 'n roll] had been discovered and the mystery solved on the spot...It's what the singer is afraid of losing defined now purely in the positive, as flight, as freedom, in Norman Mailer's words loose in the water for the first time in your life, because no matter how many times in how many pieces of music you are swept away as the instrumental passages in "Shake Some Action" can sweep you away, it's always the first time. This is a limited edition emerald green color vinyl pressing is an absolute classic of American rock and power pop. Highly recommended!
