I was only 17 when "Monster" was released back in '65, but this album stayed on my stereo constantly at that time. And I wore the grooves out on THIS track!
For some reason, just this evening (after MANY years --- the last time I heard it was on vinyl), the melody of the song came back to me.
Thank you for posting this joint, my friend --- many great memories.
