Reissue of the band’s long-out-of-print 1983 LP

‘From the opening rasp of ‘SEVEN DAYS’ to the dying chimes of ‘WO’ NOW’, the frenzied beat goes on. Even the more subdued tracks are given that unmistakable MILKSHAKES brand, pointing to THE MILKSHAKES being the undeniable leaders of world beat!’ It says here.

Following on from the imaginary international success of their debut album ‘Talking Bout… ‘ and the 45 ‘It’s You’ c/w ‘Please Don’t Tell My Baby’, the Milkshakes decided to squander what little money they had left on another long-player. The result was the cleverly-titled, if slightly boastful-sounding, ‘Fourteen Rhythm & Beat Greats’. Indeed, if you close your eyes and unplug the record-player, all 14 – count ’em (next time you open your peepers) – finely-crafted tunes on this LP could almost qualify as ‘great’, depending on where you stand, musically. I recommend just around the corner, out of earshot for best results.
