*A masterclass in rock 'n' roll cool, Jackpot Records is thrilled to reissue the Flamin' Groovies seminal album Shake Some Action on limited-edition color vinyl. Taking notes from the British Invasion and inspiration under the San Francisco sun, the Flamin' Groovies became synonymous with the stylish, raunchy rock of the early-1960s, with Shake Some Action remaining their undisputed classic. Earning a perfect 5-star review from AllMusic and an 8.5/10 from Pitchfork, Shake Some Action is upheld for it's ability to sound moody, wild, and unabashedly ""'60s"". Mastered by legendary sound engineer Kevin Gray from the record's original 1976 master tapes, standout tracks like ""You Tore Me Downm,"" ""Let the Boy Rock and Roll,"" and ""I Can't Hide"" have never sounded better. Limited edition green vinyl pressing.

When Shake Some Action blasted onto the tired 1976 music scene, the Groovies' Dave Edmunds-produced update on British Invasion style, along with the Ramones debut that same year were the early tremors of the punk shockwave that has resonated for decades. This 50th anniversary deluxe edition contains the original album remastered from the original analog tapes as well as a bonus disc filled with previously unreleased outtakes, alternate mixes and all existing tape from a 1976 live show recorded at The Roxy in Hollywood. The release also includes an extensive booklet containing previously unseen photos and detailed liner notes by music historian Alec Palao.
