QUESTION MARK AND THE MYSTERIANS

 It only took one song, the organ-driven number one smash "96 Tears," to make ? & the Mysterians 

into garage rock legends. Eccentric frontman Question Mark (actually spelled "?," once he had his name 

legally changed) cultivated an aura of mystery by never appearing in public without a pair of wraparound sunglasses. 

The Mysterians' sound helped lay down an important part of the garage rock blueprint, namely 

the low-budget sci-fi feel of the Farfisa and Vox organs (most assumed that "96 Tears" had featured the former, 

but ? later remembered using the latter). What was more, they were one of the first Latino rock groups to have a major hit, 

and ?'s sneering attitude made him one of the prime suspects in the evolution of garage rock into early punk

SLEEVE NEAR EX (please, see pictures and read above description)

On the back of the album cover of ? and the Mysterians' Action, there is a list of "the facts" about the band. 

Their "likes" mostly consist of "girls," "science fiction," and "the color black," the combination of which pretty much describes their music. 

Action contains some of the best early-'60s, AM-pop-meets-garage-noise tunes -- a mixture

that also produced the L.A. sound of the Seeds and would later lead to the utter genius of the Velvet Underground...(AllMusic)
