Abkco
's 2005 compilation
The Best of ? & the Mysterians: Cameo Parkway 1966-1967
is the first official CD release of the Michigan garage rocker's classic
Cameo Parkway
recordings, but for hardcore
garage rock
collectors, it might look a little bit similar to a 1995 unofficial release called
Original Recordings
. The discs not only share 25 tracks but they're presented in the same sequencing. Then again, that shouldn't be a surprise since both discs contain the entirety of the quintet's two full-length LPs -- the 1966
96 Tears
and its 1967 follow-up
Action
-- plus the
"Do Something to Me"
/
"Love Me Baby (Cherry July)"
single. The '95 release contains five tracks that didn't make it to this release, but this has two previously unreleased versions of
"Midnight Hour"
and
"96 Tears,"
neither of which were as a good as the released versions (the alternate
"96 Tears"
is surprisingly limp, actually). As should be expected from an official release,
Abkco
's
Best Of
has much better sound -- clean, but retaining the grit and murk that distinguished
the Mysterians
' LPs -- and a good set of liner notes from
Jeff Tamarkin
that detail the history of this shadowy band. Their music remains a little hit and miss -- only
"96 Tears"
is a stone-cold classic, and it's surely one of the great
rock & roll
singles ever, but they have several other strong garage rockers, particularly on the second album -- but despite the handful of generic moments, it's still a blessing that the original
? & the Mysterians
records have not only finally made it to CD, but in such an appealing fashion as this. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
