Review

Clash (magazine) (p.109) - "The Monks did for garage rock what limited chord structures did for punk. Rhythmic and hypnotic throughout, THE EARLY YEARS showcases The Monks at their best..."
Record Collector (magazine) (p.92) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[THE EARLY YEARS] brilliantly documents the boys' evolution...from beat group The Five Torquays into the anti-Beatles."

Title Note

BLACK MONK TIME represents one of the most distinctive slabs of garage rock ever created. Emanating from the partially shaved skulls of five American G.I.s stationed in Germany during the Vietnam War, the album seethes with the simultaneous anxiety and absurdity of its era. THE EARLY YEARS captures the band in nascent form tackling many of the songs that would appear on their 1966 masterpiece. Demo versions of "Monk Time," "Boys Are Boys," and "I Hate You" show a band not quite at its revelatory peak (the sound feels generally thinner than what was to come), but certainly working more outside the box than even the most oddball pop bands of the mid 1960s. That this set contains cuts from the Torquays, the band's pre-tonsure incarnation, makes it a keeper for not only Monks fans but '60s garage enthusiasts as well.
