I have the following: 'oh how it hurts' -Barbara Mason - Action 6002 'Dry your eyes' - Brenda and the Tabulations - Action 6003 Is there a guide to Album, 12 inch and Reggae records as these don't feature in the Manship guides.

pikeys dog Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Test pressing probably - no significant difference in value though - unless it's got a different track listing to the finished album. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
pikeys dog Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 There's also an album by Jimmy Reed on the label - "Down In Virginia" - but without it in front of me, I can't recall the release number... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
pikeys dog Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 (edited) https://www.georgwa.demon.co.uk/action_records.htm Contains a full listing of albums...unfortunately it only covers the first 45 series (red/yellow and green/black labels) Although I've never seen a copy of the Eddie Burns LP on UK Action - all the copies I've seen have been on B&C - I think this may be a mistake copied from an earlier incorrect listing...
