thank the germans for not being the bbc! _all_ the beat club stuff still exists, afaik, including unbroadcast material.

by the way, has anyone actually heard dave day's "don't ha ha" that he released as a 7" at some point?

Was the Rollins reissue of Black Monk Time before the Fall cover?

nah, extricate was 1990, infinite zero issue was '97. apparently the first cd issue of it was an israeli pirate on israphon in 1990.

I believe its a version of "Don't you just know it" with 'authentic' laughing in the chorus.

pretty psyched for this tbh. just curious about the cover art. i thought by these final sessions they had ditched the haircuts and uniform.

Also can’t remember if I commented on this thread that Eddie seems to have been named after Lawrence of Arabia

it's from the tribute album "silver monk time", has some good stuff on there including gary burger with faust (not sure which faust). there's also a nice live show from around that time (2006 or so) of the monks in berlin with the raincoats, the recently departed mark e. smith, etc., guesting.

Just watched the doc with my mother- and sister-in-law. Both loved the band so much.
