[2016-06-03] Milk 'N' Cookies "Milk 'N' Cookies" 2CD expanded remaster (Captured Tracks)

Description
Milk 'n' Cookies are the stuff of legends - or would be legends. Forming in the early 70s in Long Island, New York, this power pop group was originally signed to Island Records and seemed destined for greatness. Yet, through many cases of "wrong place, wrong time," the band never managed to break. The core line-up of the band was made up of Ian North, Justin Strauss, Sal Maida and Mike Ruiz and, in their time, they played classic NYC venues like CBGB's and Max's Kansas City. They shared bills with everyone from Talking Heads to The Ramones and have amassed a cult following, influencing the likes of Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth) and Debbie Harry (Blondie). After working extensively with the band members, Milk 'n' Cookies is a lavish reissue of the group's entire recorded output. Housed in a deluxe slipcase is the band's original legendary LP, a 2xLP featuring rare and unreleased tracks, as well as a book that chronicles the full history of the band's wild ride through the music biz - as told by the band themselves, through accounts from their many (in)famous admirers and through never-before-seen photographs.

The label has only provided the vinyl tracklist above -- the CD configuration includes all of those tracks, but on two discs.

Have a listen to two of the remastered tracks which were previewed on a Record Store Day single a couple of years ago:

Jimbo · 19 Jul 2006

I have a previous CD reissue, but I'm in for this one. Semi-legendary Long Island power pop group. Saw them as an opening act at My Father's Place back in the day.

The price for the LP set is a rather steep $109 at the moment.

I also have the previous CD Jimbo is mentioning. Haven't played it in awhile. Need to pull it out for a reassess.

My copy wasn't shipped either. Amazon's listing for the 2CD set has gone dormant. The vinyl edition still shows for February 5th, so I'm hoping that the CD version is going to be rescheduled for that date.

Jimbo · 19 Jul 2006

Amazon asked me to approve delayed shipment. I said OK. No revised date given.

JohnG · 03 Aug 2006

They ran out of milk and cookies.

A friend who sprung for vinyl box (which he says came with a great book) says the CD was pushed back to April. Hope to see this go live again.

Jimbo · 19 Jul 2006

E-mail from Amazon: estimated delivery date now April 15. Just in time for tax day.

If you are in my usual predicament on tax day, you may need more then Milk n Cookies. Pepto or whiskey depending on your stomachs tolerance. :wink:

GodsComic · 03 Aug 2006

Amazon just canceled my order due to unavailability

Jimbo · 19 Jul 2006

Me too. Let's keep an eye on things to see if it's relisted.

GodsComic · 03 Aug 2006

I thought someone posted something about buying it directly from the site, but I couldn't find anything at Captured Tracks.

ralph · 11 May 2009

Got mine last week, but I had it pre-ordered from Captured Tracks. The first disc is made up of the first 18 tracks in Linda's original post. Can't compare the sound to anything as this is the first time I've owned the album, but it sounds fine to my ears. It's brilliant candy power bubblegum pop of the highest order, every track an earworm. Comes encased in a hardbound book with the usual informative liners and great photos, nice to see mention of the late Joe Fleury. Only downside is no writer credits, although I assume it's mostly Ian North. It's a must have for glammy power pop fans and sits nicely next to my Mumps double cd.

Either the order link is buried well or they took it down last week, as I tried to find it when you posted about the price being better than Amazon.

Go to Captured Tracks, upper right has a link for "Store", let the menu drop and click on Omnian Webstore, scroll down a bit. Still 18 bucks.
