The Milkshakes - MILKSHAKES IV: The Men With The Golden Guitars (Black Vinyl LP)
RELEASE DATE - MAY 23rd
Instrumental album from 1983!
The band’s 4th LP, finally back on vinyl!
The 'Track Withdrawn' from previous issues has now been reinstated in the form of 'The Wrong Man'!
Having endured no less
than three long-players and a brace of singles featuring the caterwauling of
Messrs Hampshire and Childish, the Milkshakes’ audience figured it might
be time for an instrumental outing. In response the group gave them just
that.
But this was to be no run-of-the-mill effort – no Dick Dale-esque surf
marathons or Shadowsy twangers are apparent here. These tunes are more
‘rhythm-and-mood’-based compositions; occasionally leaning more
towards the Link Wray end of the spectrum – as you would probably
expect.
This IVth album (hence the name) was recorded in 1983 at Oakwood Studios –
as were all previous releases – but this was the first in their new
facilities in a converted church near Canterbury, which opened up a whole new
golden vista of shimmering, silvery sounds in atmospheric conditions. Of course,
the Milkshakes were having none of that.
We suggest you plonk the wax on your gramophone and let whatever happens
happens.
Hasty bananas.
