NEW LP

Texas garage/beat band.

Alltime greatest MONKS LP from the mid-sixties.

Exact repro on 180 gram vinyl of this classic LP from '66.
Punk rock before punk existed, played by ex-US soldiers stationed in Germany.
But you'll probably know the story, since this is truly legendary stuff!


The one astounding studio album of proto punk/abrasive psych genius from the Monks – a true masterpiece if their ever was one,
a record that's been ripped off by myriad more famous groups in both the mainstream and rock underground of the past 40 years!
The group's status as discharged G.I.'s informs some of spewed vitriol, but beyond that there's little connection to any trends or
scenes, the Monks are true originals in a world of imitators, and that adds a layer of excitement to an already mind blowing listen.
The album's wild organ washes, primitive drums and guitar, and harsh, bizarre vocal rants prefigured everything from the Stooges,
to Rocket From The Tombs, to the more predictable punk stuff that arrived 18 years later – yet it still grooves. Outrageous and
incredible! 12 tracks in all: "Monk Time", "Shut Up", "Boys And Boys And Girls And Girls", "Higgle-Dy-Piggle-Dy", "I Hate You",
"We Do Wie Du", "Drunken Maria", "Blast Off", "That's My Girl" and more
