As stated in volume one of this series, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlack Sails in The Moonlight\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a direct reference to 'Red Sails In The Sunset,' a favorite tune of the lads off the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBeatles\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAt The Star Club\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e L.P., which must be considered a key influence on the group. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Milkshakes IV -- The Men With The Golden Guitars Instrumentals\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e had always played a key role in The Milkshakes' set, so for their fourth long player, inspired by the likes of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLink Wray\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, the boys set out to compose their own collection of guitar-led wordless tunes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLong thought lost, the tapes of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Men With The Golden Guitars\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e had to be specially baked to make them edible, sorry -- audible -- to the consumer. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Milkshakes In Germany\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, was released on the same day in 1984 on Berlin's Wall City Records. Ironically, the photograph for the cover of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Milkshakes In Germany\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was actually taken in Rochester, England. One afternoon, while sipping tea on the deck of Mickey's boat, he and Billy were distracted by an angry dot which appeared on the horizon. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the now famous and much copied L.P. cover of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eNothing Can Stop These Men\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e are the maturing Milkshakes on Rochester Bridge spanning the river Medway. They often liked to span rivers. Studying the cover, it becomes obvious to the viewer why our four handsomely debonair and chiseled heroes caused sensation and sparked pandemonium every time they visited the outskirts of Strood. Furthermore, listening to the songs, it becomes evident why knicker sales went through the roof in the Medway towns at the time this record was first released.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Encore Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67749182374142,"sku":null,"price":39.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1546\/6351\/files\/DAMGOOD654CD_CU_fceacaad-54ab-425b-915d-137d39eb8020.jpg?v=1792079982","url":"https:\/\/encorerecords.ca\/products\/4cd-the-milkshales-milk-box-vol-2","provider":"Encore Records Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
