Those who remember little of Secret Affair beyond this double CD’s titular anthem of the ’79 ‘mod revival’ will find almost nothing to convince them that these East End also-rans deserved greater acclaim. Weirdly, “Time For Action” itself is presented in its diluted ‘US Remix’ format (sans yobbish outro).
