Can't thank you enough. A huge Diodes fan while in L.A. in the late 70s, had their first 2 but this 1 slipped thru the crack somehow. Waited 25 years to hear this. Kudos!! ~stu

ACTION REACTION MISPRESS

Hey does anyone know about a mispressed version of the ACTION REACTION LP?

I just was in Toronto
and bought as much
Toronto punk vinyl as I could carry. I bought The Diodes self titled album,
"released" and "action-reaction" all on record. They sound great, as they
were meant to be heard. but when i put on side 2 of action reaction i
heard some lame do-wop soul band. it must be a mispress. Has anyone heard of this? Does anyone know what happened? It also seems like the 1st
side has a different track order than the actual record sleeve. the sleeve
says catwalk is the 1st track, but the record has "that was the way it
was" 1st. Weird, eh?
Anyone?

theres some action, but even more reaction.

Sadly missing side 2,
Michael
