Review

Not as thorough as Castle's two-disc Action Time Vision: The ATV Anthology, Cherry Red's 20-track Action, Time, Vision: The Very Best of Mark Perry & ATV collection still packs a punch to the gut. Punk renaissance man Mark Perry is the focus here, and his rise from bank clerk to Sniffin' Glue fanzine creator to genre-defying, progressive punk rocker is well chronicled here, from the teeth-gnashing grit of early singles like "How Much Longer" and the bluesy "Another Coke" to the grandiose and acerbic "Apollo." ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide
