The Fractions of Action on Psyched-Up and......

[Hicksville Hogwash]

I have someone asking for my expertise on Garage 45's for work. So I came here. As usual.

Some West Virginian turned up these 45s. they are not in MTM's - Teenbeat Mayhem!

first is from 1974 OK, I know it's not garage.

The first is by a group called “Free Delivery” on the Evco label. It is copyrighted in 1974 and distributed by Mo-Di Productions in Parkersburg. Both sides were written by Dick Hicks and Morris Bower and published by Mordick Music

The second looks so..... ah hum! Sexy

The other is by a group, “The Fractions of Action” and the label is Psyched-Up. Only info is that it was produced by Charles Jordan, who also wrote the songs.

I "borrowed" this from Discogs which is the only on-line mention I can find-

Discog poster guesses 1967! "Flash! Headline News is a great uptempo Garage Soul Dancer, To Forget You is a Soul Ballad. I have guessed the year of release."


If anyone could help out with further info or even a sound sample of the Fractions of Action for my own personal curiosity. Thanks all.

a VG copy of Fractions sold on ebay last year for $56 and the seller called it soul.

I'd have to look up the registration to identify the locale and copyright claimant.

I don't have the 45 logged in my Non-TBM worthy list, "No Dice".
Checked all of my old notes when i pawed through dozens of collections and I haven't found any notation.

Thanks Frantic, I found that one eventually also there was one spelled "The Fractions of Acton" in collectors frenzy sold at $26 in 2011
- Fractions Of Acton-Flash! Headline News/To Forget You (Psyched-Up no catalog #) Record is VG, rocker topside plays great, ballad flip a bit crackly and has writing on the label. Obscure & crude little Justice-style garage 45!

Thanks Mike.
The label sure makes it look very cool. I asked the guy if he could send me a soundfile. The enquiry got forwarded to me via a board member at the Hall o' Fame.


Oh, and if you get the time a locale would be great.

I know the guy selling that 45 on Discogs. He has a shop about 10 miles away. He doesn't always have his box of garage goodies in the shop, but I might try and get there this weekend, and if he has it there, I'll get him to give it a spin.
Unless someone bags it before then!

Good luck. ...but he might have it in a Soul box...

I have the guy sending me sound files sometime soon ...I hope.

Had to work so couldn't make it to the shop.
Still curious to hear it though.
