"Monk Time" es un álbum innovador de la legendaria banda The Monks y ahora está disponible en formato CD gracias al fabricante Retributio. Lanzado originalmente en 1966, este disco es considerado una pieza clave del proto-punk y el garage rock por su sonido crudo y sus letras provocadoras adelantadas a su tiempo; los miembros de The Monks eran soldados estadounidenses destinados en Alemania que revolucionaron la música con su estilo experimental e influyente para generaciones posteriores de artistas internacionales de diversos géneros musicales. Esta edición especial ofrecida por Retributio incluye una masterización sonora impecable y libretos informativos sobre la historia única del grupo estadounidense-alemán; además destaca el compromiso del sello con reediciones fieles y cuidadas que respetan el legado musical original tanto técnica como históricamente.
