Seems like a relative term, but I was just poking around on Pirates Bay last night (just days after posting "Black Monk Time") and tripped over this.....a Monks early works/rarities disc? Never knew it existed....shares some overlap with "Black monk Time", but I think it no question will have an interesting nugget or two. According to the notes, this includes "pre-Monks" work as the Torquays, as well as some post-"Black Monk Time" singles....I have not had a chance to even listen to this yet, hopefully I will get to it tonight or tomorrow, I just had to put it up as a companion piece to the surprisingly-well recieved "Black Monk Time".......Please leave a comment, especially in light of the fact that I haven't even listened to it yet!

ReplyDeleteBought this when it first came out as "Five Upstart Americans" - none of the tracks are the same as on the LP, these are some very cool versions with a more live feel. Excellent all round.
