Although they only released two albums during their 1960s heyday, Michigan's Question Mark and the Mysterians were a significant influence upon garage rock and an inspiration for punk rock. The group was led by Rudy Martinez, one of the first Chicano rockers and a truly enigmatic frontman. Following the band's 1997 reunion, they went into the studio to re-record some of their old favorites, including their million-selling Number One hit "96 Tears" appears here, along with their follow up contender “Can’t Get Enough of You Baby” made famous by Smash Mouth. The 15-track set includes a 1966 demo of "Are You for Real?“ plus covers of Suicide’s “Cheree”, The Lyres “Don’t Give It Up Now” and the R&B classic “That’s How Strong My Love Is.” The set makes its vinyl debut.
