“Action (Vocal) / Action (Instrumental)” is a two-track vinyl released in 1983 by Treacherous Three. Released under Sugar Hill Records, this vinyl was produced by Sylvia Inc.

Treacherous Three is considered one of the pioneering old school Hip-Hop groups from Harlem. The group was formed in 1978 and consisted of Kool Moe Dee (Mohandas Dewese, b. 1963), LA Sunshine (Lamar Hill, b. unknown), Special K (Kevin Keaton, b. 1963), and DJ Easy Lee (Theodore Moy'e, b. unknown). One of the very first Rap acts put to wax, the Treacherous Three made their debut in 1978 on Enjoy Records and released several singles on the label, most notably "The Body Rock" (1980). The Treacherous Three became well known for their singles "Feel the Heartbeat" and "Whip It". They released their debut full-length album and were featured in the 1984 breakdance cult-movie Beat Street, performing the song "Xmas Rap" with Doug E. Fresh. As one of the members of one of the first Rap groups on record, Treacherous Three were also signed to Sugar Hill Records. Their talent influenced the emergence of a fast style of rapping called speed rapping, which influenced the later course of Hip-Hop.
