The Action Faction – Afraid To Rock The Boat/Why - United Recording Corporation Of Nevada (US 1968)
Finally I finda record that is really worth sharing here on
the blog. First because no one else has, second because it is truly remarkable.
Afraid To Rock The Boat is a complex yet infectious multi-
part opus. It has a definite anglophile Popsike sound and would have fit perfectly on Rubbles. There
is also an undeniable Baroque element with the string quartet emphasizing its beauty. The B side is less ambitious and displays more of a US Sunshine Pop aspect to
their sound.
I couldn’t find anything about The Action Faction. They were
from Nevada and recorded this single in Las Vegas. I really hope that band
members are still around and will contact me as this is a story that needs to
be told!
