Led by Dave Cousins , the band also featured (pre-Yes) Rick Wakeman on keyboards. After the Strawbs, Rick and John formed HUDSON AND FORD who had some commercial success in the mid to late 70's. A lot of "obscure" English bands released albums and toured Canada regularly in the early 1970's. If they made it here, then possibly their label would give them a shot at a U.S. release deal. We got to see Budgie, Nazareth, Nektar and the Peter Gabriel version of Genesis. - ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 02 Jan 1998 21:29:47 -0900 From: link@sun-link.com (Colburn-Greg) Subject: Re: the Monks "Nice Legs, Shame About The Face" is a great song.

Talk about being a kid in a candy store. The Bomp catalog is full of goodies, but the warehouse had tons of stuff (mags, 45s) that couldn't possibly fit into the catalog. I think I spent about three hours looking at stuff while the Bomp staff filled mail orders in the office area. One of most fun record shopping experiences I've had and the Bomp folks are extremely friendly as well. I'd recommend it to anyone who regularly mail orders from Bomp. But like I said, the place isn't a store and I don't know if they regularly have people drop by in person, so call first.

Thanks, if you will, and I'm hoping that you will!> Yes, I was planning on getting it on Friday but I had a unexpectedly super busy day at work and didn't get my usual hour lunch break, and then right after work I had to bust home, eat dinner, take a shower and go load our equipment up for a gig my band had at a bar downtown. I will go get it probably on Monday. I'm sure it'll still be there since it's been there for months.

Is this out on CD? Greg >> So, I called my friend Paul who has one of the two Monks albums and he gave me the lowdown. The Monks were a British band released on Canadian EMI. The albums were never released in America, only available in the U.S. as imports. He went out and bought their first lp, "Dirty Habits," because they got heavy rotation on Toronto radio stations in the early 80's. In Paul's humble opinion "the second album isn't worth looking for." He said there are only a couple of good songs on it. As far as CD re-issues, I haven't a clue. And "Skylab" is on the Dirty Habits lp. Hope this helps!
