the milkshakes-milk box volume 2 4cd

The second Milkshakes album to be released was Fourteen Rhythm & Beat Greats and highlights the group's penchant for rock 'n' roll from the '50s and '60s right through to punk rock. As stated in volume one of this series, Black Sails in The Moonlight is a direct reference to 'Red Sails In The Sunset,' a favorite tune of the lads off the Beatles At The Star Club L.P., which must be considered a key influence on the group. The Milkshakes IV -- The Men With The Golden Guitars Instrumentals had always played a key role in The Milkshakes' set, so for their fourth long player, inspired by the likes of Link Wray, the boys set out to compose their own collection of guitar-led wordless tunes. Long thought lost, the tapes of The Men With The Golden Guitars had to be specially baked to make them edible, sorry -- audible -- to the consumer. The Milkshakes In Germany, was released on the same day in 1984 on Berlin's Wall City Records. Ironically, the photograph for the cover of The Milkshakes In Germany was actually taken in Rochester, England. One afternoon, while sipping tea on the deck of Mickey's boat, he and Billy were distracted by an angry dot which appeared on the horizon. On the now famous and much copied L.P. cover of Nothing Can Stop These Men are the maturing Milkshakes on Rochester Bridge spanning the river Medway. They often liked to span rivers. Studying the cover, it becomes obvious to the viewer why our four handsomely debonair and chiseled heroes caused sensation and sparked pandemonium every time they visited the outskirts of Strood. Furthermore, listening to the songs, it becomes evident why knicker sales went through the roof in the Medway towns at the time this record was first released.
