Reissued on 2LP is the 1986 compilation, originally on Media Burn records (also out on CD on Vinyl Japan 20 years ago), is The Milkshakes "107 Tapes (early demos and live recordings)" which is demos recorded at 107 Rochester Street, Chatham in 1981. The second disc has a live show from Germany 1983. It’s on gatefold double LP with extensive liner notes, a really playful interview with the band, and some great photographs.The really great thing about a reissue such as this reissue is that Damaged Goods did not simply resort to issuing the same old packaging and gave some of the people out there who already have the original a reason to buy the reissue as well. The packaging is deluxe, on the level of the "Archives from 57" 3LP that came out a while ago.
The Milkshakes, to me, where never my favorite of the Billy Childish bands; but they have a certain charm. This set of songs is raw and blistering, the live set is amazing, and really has me re-evaluate them as a band in regards to his other projects.
