? AND THE MYSTERIANS
Feel It! The Very Best Of... (Varese Sarabande)
Reviewed by DJ Johnson
This one comes with two warnings and a recommendation. The first warning is
that these aren't
the original recordings. They were done a few years ago. The second warning is
that this
isn't even the first release of these re-recordings. What this actually is is a
single-disc
version of 2-CD Krispy Kreme/Cave Stomp 1999 release, More Action. That one's
out of print
now, and this one is missing the instrumental version of "96 Tears," which was
actually
titled "Strolling With The Mysterians," "Satisfaction," and "Sally Go Round The
Roses,"
though there's a video of that song on the disc. In my opinion, the packaging
should be
honest about both of these things. "Hey, these are re-recordings and this is a
trimmed-down
version of a CD from a few years ago" would have done nicely. The
recommendation is simply
this: you can't get the 1999 release anymore, and these re-recordings rock. On
top of that,
you get a pair of demo tracks from 1966 and a live track from the band's
appearance at Cave
Stomp in '98. The thing about Question Mark & The Mysterians is they haven't
aged badly at
all. It still sounds fairly close to the way it sounded all those years ago,
and baby, that's
a good, good sound.
