Vinyl LP pressing. Instrumental album from 1983! The band's 4th LP, finally back on vinyl! Having endured no less than three long-players and a brace of singles featuring the caterwauling of Messrs Hampshire and Childish, The Milkshakes' audience figured it might be time for an instrumental outing. In response the group gave them just that. But this was to be no run-of-the-mill effort - no Dick Dale-esque surf marathons or Shadowsy twangers are apparent here. These tunes are more 'rhythm-and-mood'-based compositions; occasionally leaning more towards the Link Wray end of the spectrum - as you would probably expect. This IVth album (hence the name) was recorded in 1983 at Oakwood Studios - as were all previous releases - but this was the first in their new facilities in a converted church near Canterbury, which opened up a whole new golden vista of shimmering, silvery sounds in atmospheric conditions. Of course, The Milkshakes were having none of that. We suggest you plonk the wax on your gramophone and let whatever happens happens. Hasty bananas.
