Brass Monkey - Brass Monkey 1971

There is very little information on this cool rock band "Brass Monkey", folks. That is apart from knowing that Guy Fletcher and Doug Flet, well known songwriters, were in it. There are 4 covers and 6 original songs and they are all totally excellent. This has never been posted before either folks. Lap them up. FYI, Track 1 is a different version of the original 3:27 as it was corrupt and was only 3:19 due to the oiginal ripper jumping the scratchy bit forward in the first 10 seconds. So i have used the same track, but is from "The Complete Motown Singles, Volume 11A" which is only 2:52 long. Don't let this put you off folks as the last 30 seconds in the original is just a loop of the main riff. Just put it on repeat. That's all. Coz I know y'all will...
