Secret Affair – Time For Action: The Anthology

Mod revivalists' demos and rarities

Trending Now

Weirdly, “Time For Action” itself is presented in its diluted ‘US Remix’ format (sans yobbish outro). The rest is average, ’60s-centric pub rock (save the terrifying Dave Gilmour guitar territory of “Seen That Movie Too”), though the sleevenotes by vocalist Ian Page and guitarist Dave Cairns should please parka-clad nostalgists.
