IN ACTION - T&M WEBSITE MINI-FEATURE
 
RFBLP2 front cover'In Action' or, to give it it's full album title 'In Action - Tenth Anniversary', was originally released on 7 April 1986 on vinyl on the then drummer Rab Fae Beith's RFB Records (RFB LP 2). This is the only previous time that the album has been issued in the UK, as the only other re-issue on vinyl came four years later, in 1990, with the German label Revolver putting the double LP out (REV LPZ 142); therefore, the new Let Them Eat Vinyl issue is the first time in over 25 years that 'In Action' has been available on vinyl, and nearly 30 years since it was issued in the UK.
 
Recorded in 1985, and featuring the previous studio LPs ('Huntington Beach') all Scottish (except Harper!) line-up of James Moncur on guitar, Plonker Magoo (Ricky McGuire) on bass and the aforementioned Rab on drums, 'In Action - Tenth Anniversary' was the Subs' first and only official A-Z release double LP.
It was also originally intended as a 'proper' live album with recordings from Telford and Aberdeen from their 1995 winter tour, but these recordings were 'replaced' by an album which was pressed on green vinyl - 5000 copies - and then on black vinyl. This original 1986 double LP came in a single outer sleeve, but the Revolver re-issue came in a gatefold sleeve on black vinyl.
