Question Mark And The Mysterians Action 1. Girl(You Captivate Me) 2. Can't Get Enough Of You Baby 3. Bobby Balderrama is a wonderful guy who started one of the greatest punk bands ever: Question Mark & the Mysterians, otherwise known as the humans who wrote and performed '96 Tears' back in 1966. The piercing organ riff, bare-bones vocal track, and low-fidelity production make it a safe candidate for first punk rock song ever.

In the beginning, there was the riff: a mere eight blues-infused notes, one of the most memorable in the history of riffs, played on a Vox Continental organ. Then came the melody line, so giddily repetitious, so simple a child could play it, so hypnotic, so beautiful in its utter lack of pretense.

Since the rights to the original 96 Tears album and singles have been held in limbo, fans have to be content with records like? & the Mysterians featuring 9.

And then…the voice:

'Too many teardrops for one heart to be cryin', too many teardrops for one heart to carry on.'

The tale that follows is one that's been told a million times before and since: You did me wrong, but you will get yours yet. Oh, will you get yours! The chorus:

'And when the sun comes up I'll be on top
You'll be right down there looking up
I'm gonna get to you but I know now
You're gonna cry 96 tears
You're gonna cry 96 tears'

But had it ever been told in quite this way? By a group quite like this? No. Never. Not then, not since.

In the summer of 1966, when all of the rules were being broken—Pet Sounds, Revolver, Blonde on Blonde—there was something so primal about ? and the Mysterians' '96 Tears.' Like many other tunes that year by fellow one- or two-hit garage-incubated wonders—the Seeds, the Count Five, the Syndicate of Sound, the Standells, the Shadows of Knight—it was tough and direct. It hit you in the gut; it didn't ask you to interpret: 'Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands' this was not. Instead, it asked you to surrender to the beat, to dance, to revel in its pure rock 'n' roll heart.

And millions did, even if they had no idea who they were listening to. Who were these mysterious Mysterians? And who the #%*@ was ? Someone really called himself Question Mark? What kind of crazy person dared use a punctuation mark as his name?

Rudy Martinez, that's who—not that he'd ever confess to that moniker ever having belonged to him. Their leader, their singer, dark shades omnipresent, swears not only that ? is his real name but that he was born on Mars, that he's been around since the dinosaur days, that he converses regularly with people from the future. This band that he had, says the main Mysterian, 'came together out of the clear blue sky.' He says all this not in an ironic way but knowing that it is true. Disbelieve him if you want, but that's his story and he's sticking to it.

The single reached #1 on Oct. 22, 1966 on Record World

Maybe they did come together out of the blue. Maybe not. Who can be sure? Some say they were from Bay City, Michigan. And the others, they had names that didn't end inquisitive sentences, so at least some of the musicians were from our world: Larry Borjas (bass), Robert Martinez (drums) and Bobby Balderrama (guitar) were original 1962 members. ? (yes, it is his legal name, although sometimes he will allow you to call him Q) showed up around 1964. At some point. Frank Rodriguez joined on keyboards. Robert and Larry left, replaced by Eddie Serrato on drums and Frank Lugo on bass.

? didn't write '96 Tears,' he swears. He channeled it—it came to him; it was just there. It was there long before there was a ? and the Mysterians, in fact, around for years before any of them had seen the inside of a recording studio. It was called 'Too Many Teardrops' at first. Then '69 Tears.' Someone told the boys that radio stations wouldn't play a song with 69 in the title. They flipped it. Their manager issued 750 copies on her own Pa-Go-Go label. Someone at Cameo-Parkway Records—where Bobby Rydell, Dee Dee Sharp and Chubby Checker all lived—heard it and thought, hmm, hit.

That someone was right. In August 1966, it was re-released on the larger label. It went to #1 on October 29 in Billboard, and one week earlier in Record World.

Fifteen years later Garland Jeffreys had a top 10 hit with his version. U.K. prog punks the Stranglers covered it and so did blues singer Big Maybelle and R&B diva Thelma Houston.So did Aretha Franklin.

Question Mark & the Mysterians is a 1997 eponymous album by the garage rock band ? and the Mysterians, known for their #1 1966 hit '96 Tears'. The album was recorded by the original members of the band as a result of their inability to access their masters or re-release their own earlier material, which had passed from the ownership of label Cameo to Allen Klein. It included all of the songs released on their first album, 96 Tears, as well as several other tracks. The rerecorded version of '96 Tears' was subsequently incorporated into compilations.

Mark & The Mysterians

Background[edit]

In the 1960s, Michigan-based band ? & the Mysterians found a regional hit with the song '96 Tears', particularly popular in Texas. The song was originally released on the Pa-Go-Go label, but aggressive offers from several larger distributors resulted in their selling the master to Cameo.^[2][3][4] Cameo shortened the recording and distributed the single nationally, resulting in a #1 Billboard hit.^[2] The band subsequently released several singles and two albums, 96 Tears and Action, on the label. In 1968, the entire catalogue of Cameo-Parkway releases, including those by ? & the Mysterians, were purchased by Allen Klein.^[5] Klein refused to permit '96 Tears' to be included on compilations or to permit their albums to be reissued,^[4] so in 1997 members of the band, including its vocalist, came together after a studio recording hiatus of several decades to re-record their original songs.^[2] The eponymous album was the first of two such re-recordings by the band,^[1] who were subsequently able to license their new version of the song for compilations.^[2] It would be October 2005 before Klein's company, ABKCO Records, would make a CD of the original releases, The Best of ? & the Mysterians: Cameo Parkway 1966-1967.^[6]

Album[edit]

The new album included all 12 tracks from the original album 96 Tears, plus an additional four. Two of the tracks, 'Smokes' and 'Got To', had were included on the band's second album, Action. The other two songs, 'Do Something to Me' and 'Make You Mine', had been released as singles in 1967 and 1968. In its review, Allmusic notes that although the album is made by the original line-up, the material doesn't sound the same as it did when first released, but adds that 'the group sounds tough, dynamic, and exciting..these guys can still kick hard, which is what makes the record worthwhile for die-hard garage freaks.'^[1]
