Pretty Suzanne

VINYL FORMAT. 1967 unreleased heavy fuzz version culled from a mega-rare one-sided acetate. This is the one to change the history books. So far we were lead to believe that The Monks, after their LP failed to chart, toned it down and tried a couple more pop tunes before vanishing into oblivion. The truth is far from that. Bound by their contract with Polydor, the Monks were unable to develop their music the way they envisioned. In 1967 they went into Tonstudio Pfanz near Hamburg on their dime to record this smashing fuzz-driven freakbeat version of "Pretty Suzanne" behind Polydor's back. Sure enough they got in trouble for it and this killer version remained unreleased to this day. First ever legit reissue in full cooperation with the Monks. Mastered from the original (only known!) acetate. In amazing high fidelity fuzz sound. German import.
