Time for Action: The Very Best of Secret Affair lives up to its title, offering 20 of the band's biggest hits and finest songs. Predictably, the collection focuses primarily on their classic debut album (it's here in its entirety), but it also does a good job of picking the high points of the two lesser albums that followed (four tracks from
Business as Usual make their CD debut). In truth, few need more than the fad-defining single, "Time for Action," but for those who need more, this collection is ideal. ~ Chris Woodstra
