"The Shake Some Action CD is a combination of previously unreleased, newly-recorded and rare tracks by some of power pops finest acts, bold old and new. Special thanks to all of the artists who donated songs for the collection, and big time kudos to Bob Segarini (for the Wackers cut, Steve Huff (who provided - and also played on - the Paul Collins & Peter Case song), Kerry Chicoine (who co-wrote "Neglected" and Walter Clevenger (for producing the Backstreet Noise and Popdudes tracks). I believe pop fans will find many moments to savor on this special collection. Dig in! - John Borack"
