Even the more subdued tracks are given that unmistakable Milkshakes brand, pointing to \u003cstrong\u003eThe Milkshakes\u003c\/strong\u003e being the undeniable leaders of world beat!” It says here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing on from the imaginary international success of their debut album Talking Bout…  and the 45 “It’s You” c\/w “\u003cem\u003ePlease Don’t Tell My Baby\u003c\/em\u003e”, 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, \u003cem\u003eFourteen Rhythm and Beat Greats\u003c\/em\u003e. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing such live favourites as “\u003cem\u003eBlack Sails In The Moonlight\u003c\/em\u003e” and \"\u003cem\u003eRed Monkey\u003c\/em\u003e”, 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 \u003cstrong\u003eBig Beat Records\u003c\/strong\u003e figured it was good enough to reissue on their very own prestigious Big Beat record label – twice. But that was 40-odd (yikes…!) years ago, so please try and control your excitement and form an orderly queue… although the sooner they sell out, it can be repressed – yet again – with the blue masthead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Damaged Goods","offers":[{"title":"LP - Vinyl","offer_id":54758536675673,"sku":"SDZ-36962","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/The_Milkshakes_-_Fourteen_Rhythm_And_Beat_Greats_-_2025.jpg?v=1750149351","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/the-milkshakes-fourteen-rhythm-beat-greats-reissue","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
