Making up the four great bands of the 1966 pop-apocalypse were The Who, The Action, The Creation and finally The Attack. Four names that in their brevity summed up the instant flash of mod-pop appeal. They had more energy than an H-bomb after flash, and they hit the senses and the soul with a long awaited wake up call. Led by ex Ready Steady Go dancer Richard Shirman, aka Jivin'K. Boots (!), and future Nice guitarist David O'List , the Attack recorded singles for Decca, plus a number of unreleased tracks (including two only recently unearthed on acetate) and a radio session. All included here. Stand out tracks being Try It "bugged out insanity,with sexual overtones blowing the Standells version into oblivion"; We Don't Know "a tight explosion of mod-soul" ; Anymore Than I Do "a freak beat classic" - plus of course their pre-Jeff Beck version of Hi Ho Silver Lining. A special package by Phil Smee, with full involvement of Richard Shirman, and notes by Chris Welch who followed the band for Melody Maker in 1968. A must for all Mod Collectors.
