'Something To Say' is one of a batch of songs which were only really recorded as demos around '67 and '68, for a possible LP which was never released at the time. They surfaced in the mid-90s. For me, a number of the songs have a real melancholy feel about them, which I love, but still with the trademark fabulous Action vocals and outstanding musicianship. 'Something To Say' is my favourite, and when we were discussing tracks to record at our next studio session, I put it forward, mainly for selfish reasons as I wanted to have the chance to play it, but the boys all agreed straight away as they also think it's a smashing track. We've liaised with The Action's drummer Roger Powell throughout the process, including on the sleeve art design too. I like to think we've done justice to the beautiful songwriting and playing of him and his Action bandmates, but added our own personality to it, in particular bringing out the funkiness of the song without smothering the delicate mournfulness of it.\" The track was recorded by Morgan Nicholls, former bass-player of late 80s\/early 90s indie-pop big hitters The Senseless Things.
