THE MONKS Black Monk Time (2009 US exclusive limited edition 18-track CD album - the Monks occupy a unique position in the history of 60s music, often hailed as a precursor to the 70s punk movement, incorporating elements of minimalism andrepetition which would come to be associated with the Krautrock pioneers. Employing pounding drums, fuzz guitar [and bass!], harshly percussive electric banjo and topped off with a demented vocalist, the Monks only ever recorded their own dizzyingly original material, which was so at odds with mid-60s trends that they were forced to implode barely 18 months after forming. Consisting of 5 US GIs stationed in Germany, they started out as The 5 Torquays, peddling typical German beat club material to enthusiastic drunken crowds in Hamburg and Munich - in mid '65, they met Walther Niemann and Karl Remy, 2 'existentialist visionary' students who convinced the group to abandon their current direction and go for something more original - out went the rock 'n' roll covers and goofy stage antics; in came dark, original material, black clothing, and to top it off, authentic tonsures!! No group looked or sounded like this in 1966! This delicious reissue contains the full album, plus bonus recordings taken from non-LP singles, a live-on-TV improv called 'Monk Chant' and a previously unreleased 1967 version of 'Pretty Suzanne'; superbly packaged in gold-embossed mini LP-style gatefold pasted card sleeve with 36-page booklet with in-depth liners, interviews, lyrics and a wealth of unseen photos - sealed & stickered)

Tracklisting: 1. Monk Time 2. Shut Up 3. Boys Are Boys And Girls Are Choice 4. Higgle-Dy - Piggle-Dy 5. I Hate You 6. Oh, How To Do Now 7. Complication 8. We Do Wie Du 9. Drunken Maria 10. Love Came Tumblin' Down 11. Blast Off! 12. That's My Girl Bonus tracks: 13. I Can't Get Over You 14. Cuckoo 15. Love Can Tame The Wild 16. He Went Down To The Sea 17. Pretty Suzanne 18. Monk Chant (Live)
THE MONKS Black Monk Time (2009 German limited edition 12-track LP pressed on Heavyweight Vinyl - The Monks were 4 American GIs stationed in Germany in the early 60s; after starting out as a typical beat band, they developed a unique, extremely sinister and downright threatening style in late 1965, much of which predated the same sentiments that would be attributed to punk 10 years later, featuring searing feedback, pounding drums, barked non-sensical lyrics, manic organ, fuzzbass and electric banjo! This, their only album, was recorded in November 1965 and released the following March in Germany only, and was mostly met with bewilderment and outright hostility; 40 years later it's regarded as an out-and-out classic! Sealed picture sleeve)

Tracklisting: 1. Monk Time 2. Shut Up 3. Boys Are Boys And Girls Are Choice 4. Higgle-Dy Piggle-Dy 5. I Hate You 6. Oh, How To Do Now 7. Complication 8. We Do Wie Du 9. Drunken Maria 10. Love Came Tumblin' Down 11. Blast Off! 12. That's My Girl
