Monks - Black Monk Time (1966) (1997 CD Re-release)




The Monks were simply awesome. 'Nuff said.

Watch the fantastic documentary on YouTube now!

Infinite Zero's 1997 CD version was the most comprehensive Black Monk Time re-release. It included the entire album along with the two last singles, a mesmerizing live track and two demos. Sadly, it is no longer in print.





Serge Gainsbourg - Comic Strip




Serge Gainsbourg's remarkable pop hits are best represented on Comic Strip, an indispensable set collecting 20 tracks recorded between 1966 and 1969. In addition to the lushly erotic "Je T'Aime...Moi Non Plus" -- Gainsbourg's best-known record -- Comic Strip includes the title track and "Bonnie and Clyde," his collaborations with Brigitte Bardot, as well as "Initials B.B.," a sweeping paean to his duet partner, "the most beautiful woman on earth." Other highlights include "Chatterton" (a bouncy celebration of suicide), "Torrey Canyon" (a prescient warning against threats to the environment), and the self-explanatory "Soixante Neuf Année Érotique" ("69 Erotic Year").
