5.0 out of 5 stars Holds Up Well as a complete CD, February 4, 2003

This review is from: In Action (Audio CD)

It's hard to beleive that this was first issued in 1966 as a complete album, as the quality of material would make one think of it as a "Best Of" compilation. This is really great stuff. You could play it all the way through during a sunny drive, to "mellow out" to after a rough day at work, or for a romantic evening for two people who enjoy sweet 60s soul. All killer, no filler, and well worth the bucks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doo-wop meets Memphis Soul, November 26, 2001

By 

Alice Woodbine - See all my reviews

This review is from: In Action (Audio CD)

The Mad Lads were unique in that they blended their soulful doo-wop vocals with a fine Memphis studio band to create a lost treasure of late period doo-wop. Their version of "Land Of A Thousand Dances" is perhaps the best version ever, although every song on "In Action" is a winner including four bonus songs not on the original 1966 album. The sound is crisp and above average for a Collectibles release.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heart-rendering soulful tunes...Great sounds!, July 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: In Action (Audio CD)

Go back to the soulful sound of the 60's with The MAD LADS! Enjoy the best of heart-rendering "SOUL" sung by the masters of the love ballads. Every song in the album is great!
