Formed in 1981 by guitarist Wild Planet, bassist \u0026amp; lyricist Dr. Phibes, and the then 15-year-olds drummer Joe Fungus and singer George Cheex, still school-kids when their Heathrow Touchdown EP was released in October 1981. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel played the single many times and booked them for their first session, recorded February 1982. Signed to Jungle’s Fall Out Records imprint, Action Pact's label debut Suicide BagEP went to the top of the British punk chart in July 1982. Five more singles entered the indie charts including Yet Another Dole Queue Song, and a reworked London Bouncers, along with two albums, ‘Mercury Theatre – On The Air’ and ‘Survival of the Fattest’. A second John Peel session in ‘82 and a David Jensen BBC session in ’83 were also recorded and broadcast – all collected together here for the first time.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e16 tracks: - Suicide Bag, Losers, Mindless Aggression, People, Cowslick Blues, Fouled on the Footpath, Times Must Change, Drowning Out the Big Jets; Fools Factions, Protest is Alive, These Are a Few…, Gothic Party Time, Question of Choice, Cruellest Thief, New Kings Girl, Mercury Theatre (On the Air Again)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fall Out Records\/Jungle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42673620713628,"sku":"FALLLP062","price":21.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/FALLLP062.jpg?v=1696021631","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/action-pact-drowning-out-the-big-jets-bbc-radio-sessions-1982-83","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
