Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.

QUESTION MARK and THE MYSTERIANS
96 TEARS
\ USA - CAMEO PARKWAY - 2004 - MONO
TOP COPY ....Original 1966 first pressing vinyl of the killer farfisa organ/fuzz guitar garage punker in glorious MONO. The bold punchy production offers different song mixes in mono - from the stereo release - reflecting the teen scene sights & sounds of the '60s
Question Mark and the Mysterians (or ? and the Mysterians) were from Flint, Michigan, and formed in 1962. The group is best known for its song "96 Tears," a garage rock classic recorded in 1966 that reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and would go on to sell over one million copies and receive a BMI award for over three million airplays.
Question Mark and the Mysterians was perhaps the first band to be described as "garage punk rock" and also may be the first Latino rock group to have a general audience hit record. The group named itself after the 1957 Japanese science fiction film The Mysterians, in which aliens from the destroyed planet Mysteroid arrive to conquer Earth
Though the band couldn't be expected to record another song as fully realized and potent as "96 Tears," the rest of their first album is timeless and amazingly cool. Drenched in cool farfisa organ & fuzz guitar underpinning the band's raw garage rock rhythms, the tight self compositions move and groove in a danceable seductive manner, moreso than than their coastal contemporaries. The band wrote most of their own material, all the tracks are catchy, picking up a few purpose-built tunes -- like the super-fine "Don't Tease Me," the driving, infectious lead off "I Need Somebody," and equally potent "You're Telling Me Lies," "Why Me," etc. all sneering led vocals with attitude that made this band the definition of "garage-punk" -- even strong are the couple of covers they perform including a bluesy reading of "Stormy Monday" and the rave-up ripping "Shout."
