Flamin' Groovies Shake Some Action

Few albums capture the spirit and energy of classic guitar pop quite like Shake Some Action. Originally released in 1976, the Flamin' Groovies' masterpiece blended the melodic brilliance of the British Invasion with the swagger and attitude of American rock and roll, creating a record that would go on to influence generations of power pop, garage rock and alternative bands.

Drawing inspiration from artists such as The Beatles, The Byrds and The Rolling Stones while retaining their distinctly Californian identity, the San Francisco group crafted an album filled with jangling guitars, irresistible hooks and timeless songwriting. More than four decades later, Shake Some Action remains the definitive statement from one of rock's great cult bands.

The album includes some of the Flamin' Groovies' most beloved recordings, including the iconic title track Shake Some Action, alongside fan favourites such as You Tore Me Down, I'll Cry Alone and I Can't Hide. Praised upon release and increasingly celebrated with time, the album earned a perfect five-star review from AllMusic and an impressive 8.5 rating from Pitchfork, cementing its reputation as a cornerstone of the power pop canon.

This special 50th Anniversary Edition presents the original album newly remastered from the original analogue master tapes and expands the release with an additional bonus LP featuring previously unreleased alternate mixes and versions from the original sessions, alongside surviving live recordings captured at The Roxy in Hollywood during 1976.

Pressed across two 140g vinyl records, this deluxe edition celebrates one of the most influential and enduring guitar albums of the 1970s.
