A.C.T. RECORDS

Special note: We believe Tom and his partners in ACT Records had several Albums from the Boot Records days re-released under ACT when he decided to come out of retirement in the late 80’s. We do not have a full list of all the titles but given that the STC numbers go to 15 its possible we are missing STC-2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. The pressing amount for each title would be quite low making them extremely rare so if you have any of these ACT titles with the STC numbers on them please let us know and we will continue to fill this ACT Discography with your help.

Notes About This Release

Tom’s second original album on his ACT label featured a variety of new songs, including a duet with his wife Lena. Tom created a great cover photo showing “2 Toms” playing music together. While Tom was out of the Business for many years, he decided to learn a few instruments and when it was time to make a new original Album he played most of the instruments heard in the songs himself. He admits it isn’t perfect but he wanted to see if he could pull it off.
