DEAD KENNEDYS-Milking The Sacred Cow
Cherry Red
Jello-less Kennedys' further attempt to grab lost royalties.
Similar to the Pistols with their Flogging А Dead Horse,East Bay Ray and chums suggest it's okay to dump on your band's past as long as you use а mildly ironic album title. Even if your tracklisting amounts to а meagre 10 tracks, with two live tracks bolted on as an afterthought.
The real DKs released а comprehensive 17-track singles and B-sides compilation in 1987 titled Give Ме Convenience Or Give Ме Death. The remaining-admittedly fantastic - tracks included here are from classic politico-punk albums which should be heard in their entirety by anyone with even а passing interest. With this album packaged in pseudo-Winston smith artwork, the Fake Kennedys are fooling no one.
