Note About Shipping To The U.S.
We are located in Canada, but have registered ourselves on eBay.com instead of eBay.ca because it gives us significantly better global exposure. The problem with this is that eBay wants us to charge shipping appropriate to US, where media mail and other options make for fairly reasonable delivery costs. We tried it for a while but ended up losing money on shipping or having to cancel the orders because we couldn't afford to ship for those rates. To manage this we have set the US shipping to run a calculator based on an American location (we chose Plattsburgh as fairly close) and charging according to UPS pricing. This avoids the cancellation issue, but can appear to the buyer to be a prohibitive shipping cost and misrepresents the shipping as being only expedited. If you give us your postal code we will see if we can offer a more reasonable option, but generally we can get a single LP by air to most places in the continental US for $11, a double $16, a few bucks less for ground. If you pay for the item and the shipping was less than you paid we will refund you the difference
Thanks for shopping Sir Helmitt,

One Awesome Recording With Well Above Standard Energy Output
July 9, 2002
This band has more great tracks on this studio work than probably most groups have on Greatest Hit CD's. The Monks here are in a class of their own, focussing on Punk attributes but not in the elaborate way. The songs are mostly distinct, confident and worry-free while simultaneously providing subtle warning(s) about what in life can become of you if respect is not given to concern. What I like especially is the fact John Ford sings without hiding his British roots accent - a quality most British singer/songwriters blend around (although so `humbly` make sure to establish with talk and interviews). The work throughout includes upbeat, sorted originals - again all energy boosters at heart. Albeit the tracks tend to get a bit repetitious in style, for such an inspired group that only came to release two albums in three decades, I choose in particular to leave that aspect alone. Unfortunate the band had so much talent yet ultimately not enough motivation to keep itself consistent on level. Nevertheless, this album proves to rock fans of near every dimension that quality for the most part does in fact excel over quantity. An album I recommend (as the majority of other reviewers do) for any devoted CD collector, enabling he/she again the chance to feel musically significant or established...
