12. That's My Girl | | 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)

12. There She Walks [The 5 Torquays] | | 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)
