Billy Childish formed THE MILKSHAKES with Mickey Hampshire in 1980. THE MILKSHAKES sound was a primitive blend of British beat groups, like the early KINKS at their toughest, and hard-rocking American guitar instrumentalists, like Link Wray. This sound came to be known as the "Medway sound" and Billy Childish has been playing a variation on it throughout his whole career. THE MILKSHAKES were a very prolific group, recording nine records in their six years together.This album was originally released in 1983 on Wall City records from Berlin, Germany. It has never been re-issued and has never appeared on CD before. The artwork had been lovingly restored by original Milkshake Bruce Brand and its also been remastered from the bands original master tapes.
