THE MILKSHAKES: Fourteen Rhythm & Beat Greats LP

“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. Featuring such live favorites as ‘Black Sails In The Moonlight’ and ‘Red Monkey,’ the general consensus was that this was The Milkshakes’ finest work to date (ask them yourselves). That must be partially true, as London’s prestigious Big Beat Records figured it was good enough to reissue on their very own prestigious Big Beat record label — twice.”
