Editorial Reviews

By exclusive arrangement with ABKCO Music, Real Gone Music is proud to present, for the first time on vinyl in America since its original release, the debut album released by Question Mark & the Mysterians, pressed on 180-gram vinyl at 45 rpm for maximum sonic impact! Hailing from Saginaw, Michigan, this group of Mexican-American teenagers will forever be anointed as the garage band s garage band, with all the bona-fides collectors of '60s cool cherish the name, derived from a Japanese horror film; the sound, an insistent, three chord beat powered by that unmistakable Vox organ tone; and, of course, the sunglasses-shod Question Mark himself, who claims to have been born on Mars and lived among the dinosaurs in a past life. Note:
contrary to urban legend, this 1966 album didn't peak at #96 on the Billboard charts; instead, it went all the way up to #66! --This text refers to the Vinyl edition.

1.0 out of 5 stars CAUTION: No ORIGINAL hit recordings!, September 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: 96 Tears (Audio CD)

Rock fans be warned: this CD was recorded in July 1997 and does NOT contain ANY of the ORIGINAL hit recordings of Question Mark and the Mysterians. Yes, the band still sounds good...but heck, I wanted the ORIGINAL hit recording of "96 Tears." What's the deal here?

This review is from: 96 Tears (Audio CD)

If you loved the original "96 Tears" and "I Need Somebody" don't put yourself through the disappointment of listening to this CD. I read someplace that we may never hear the "real" versions as the original music has been tied up in litigation for years. Wish I still had all my old records...

1.0 out of 5 stars Not what I thought it would be, January 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: 96 Tears (Audio CD)

I ordered this because I thought 96 Tears would sound like it does when it's played on the radio. I was very disappointed. I will never play it again--
