RELEASE DATE

This is a re-issue of the 1986 Media Burn compilation of demos from July 1981 and a couple of German live shows from April 1983.
The Milkshakes
were mainly
Micky Hampshire
(Git/Vox),
Billy Childish
(Git/Vox),
Bruce Brand
(Drums), and
Russ Wilkins
(Bass). When his punk band, the
Pop Rivets
, broke up in 1980, Billy Childish formed a new group with Mickey Hampshire, a Pop Rivets roadie who had been performing in a group called Mickey and the Milkshakes. The two began writing songs together and released their first LP,
Talkin' About
, in 1981. With Childish on guitar and vocals, Hampshire on guitar and vocals, Bruce Brand on drums, and Russ Wilkins (later replaced by
John Agnew
) on bass, 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 Childish has been playing a variation on it throughout his whole career.
