Question Mark The Mysterians Rar
This set is a retread in a couple of different ways. First, everything here is a re-recording (with the exception of a pair of 1966 demos and a live track from 1998) done in 1997, and all of it was previously released in a two-disc package called by Cavestomp Records in 1999.
Is simply an edited version of that set, with three tracks removed to get it down to single-disc length. That said, are the kind of band where it hardly matters whether it's a re-recording or not, since the group's sound hasn't evolved or changed in forty years, and they still sound like the same prototypical garage band they were in the '60s. 
Even 's biggest hit, '96 Tears,' sounds exactly the same here in this revisited version as it did on the original 1966 Cameo Parkway single, which is really pretty amazing given the myriad advancements in recording technology since. Still sounds rough, ragged and raw, and shows absolutely no interest in cleaning up ' sound or advancing one iota up the musical evolutionary ladder. Which is all to the good. So is this a worthy set?
Yes, it sounds note for note like the original recordings from the mid-'60s, and no, it's a bit of a bait and switch, since these aren't those recordings. But it hardly matters. When you replace really good cheese with newer really good cheese that tastes exactly like the original really good cheese, does anyone really lose?

Art by Brian Walsby MEXICANS There was kind of a big Mexican-American population in Saginaw, because a lot of migrant workers came up here and worked on the farms. General Motors built a big plant up here in the 40s or 50s. When the migrant workers found out they could get hired at GM without a high school education, they got jobs and settled in. That’s what my dad and my oldest brother did, and that’s how we settled here. There wasn’t a lot of us at our high school, maybe six or seven Mexican-American students, so that was a little rough. Even so, everybody was pretty nice; it was more that a lot of the social clubs were prejudiced. After we started the band, they wouldn’t let us play their clubs. We couldn’t play in them because we were Mexican, you know?
Mysterians Movie
That was a weird thing, but then we got so big so quickly we didn’t want to play them! See, it was me and my cousin, Larry Borjas, and a drummer named Robert Martinez, who started the band. It was just a three-piece thing. We were doing Ventures songs like “Walk, Don’t Run,” and Duane Eddy’s “Guitar Man,” and all instrumental stuff like that.
We didn’t really have a name back then. One day me and my cousin were watching this Japanese monster movie with a bunch of crazy aliens called “the Mysterians,” and that’s what Larry wanted to call us. At first, I didn’t wanna go with it, but about a week later, after we started using that name, I got used to it. QUESTION MARK My Dad encouraged me to play guitar. He was a guitarist himself; he played accordion, guitar, violin, harmonica, and all this stuff. I used to watch him play all the time, so I wanted to play too. Then me and my Dad started watching shows like Hullabaloo and Shindig!
And all these bands from England when the British Invasion was coming in: The Beatles and the Rolling Stones were on Ed Sullivan, and I was really getting into it. So Dad basically got us motivated to play this stuff, and then we started playing out a lot, just doing parties and stuff. At some point someone asked us, “Who’s singing?” No one in the band was really a singer. We wanted to find a singer, and we knew Question Mark and he said he could sing.
Actually, my sisters knew him because he had a reputation as one of the best dancers around the area, you know? And my sisters used to go watch him dance, so they recommended Question Mark, and we tried him out and he sounded real good. He covered Mick Jagger, and we thought, “Well, we could do a lot of Rolling Stones cover songs” So we started doing that. Comic by Brian Walsby The Vietnam War was happening, and Larry Borjas and Robert Martinez were the right age to get drafted, so they both joined the Army. I wasn’t too much aware of Vietnam, but I was more aware of it after they started telling me they were going to be drafted. They didn’t want to go to Vietnam, and if they enlisted, they would have a choice of where they wanted to go. So that’s what they did.
They enlisted and got sent to Germany, so they didn’t have to go to Vietnam. But after they joined up, we were kind of left out in the cold. So right before they went into service, we got a keyboard player named Frank Rodriguez. We were looking for a keyboard player anyway, because a lot of bands coming out had that great organ sound, like the Moody Blues, you know?
