(NOTE: LIMITED EDITION OF 1500 COPIES ONLY!)
'Today, 'garage', 'psych', and 'punk' are three overused words to say the least. They're dropped from every direction to brand, market, and sell, but looking back to the mid-1960's, there was only one group of musical mavericks that clearly defined them. The Monks were five beat-playing American G.I.'s stationed in Germany who, after their discharge, decided to stay and continue their musical mission. Meeting up with a team of managers, they transformed themselves and their sound into a holy racket like the world had never known. This five-person order literally birthed the above genres through a fuzz-drenched evolution of sound, bursting with social commentary and future primitive rhythms. Krautrock? It started here. Do we have any non-believers? We are not making this up. If you aren't already converted, it won't take long. Light In The Attic is ecstatic to present the Monks recorded legacy in the lavish and lovingly researched: The Early Years 1964-1965.'
