Tears is the debut studio album by the American garage rock band ? and
the Mysterians, released in 1966. It peaked at number 66 on Billboard's
Pop Albums chart. The single "96 Tears" reached number 1 on the
Billboard Hot 100 on October 29, prior to release of the album. The
album and the single "96 Tears" were both on the charts for fifteen
weeks, while the single "I Need Somebody" was on the charts for ten
weeks.
First pressings had a misprinted Side 2 label listing the last
track as "Tears" instead of "96 Tears". The album also incorrectly
shows David Graham as composer for "Stormy Monday".
The band recorded
the songs "96 Tears" and "Midnight Hour" on April 15, 1966 at Art
Schiell's Recording Studio in Bay City, Michigan, for the small Pa-Go-Go
label, which released the single in April, 1966. After getting
extensive regional airplay in Michigan and Ontario, Neil Bogart,
president of Cameo-Parkway Records purchased the rights to the record
for national distribution. After replacing bassist Fernando Aguilar with
Frank Lugo, the band went into the studio to record the remainder of
the songs for their debut album released in November, 1966. The album
was an immediate success and quickly shot up the charts before the end
of the year. A second single, "I Need Somebody" was released in
conjunction with the album.
Allen Klein and ABKCO Records acquired
the Cameo-Parkway catalog in 1967, and refused to license the ? and the
Mysterians records for release on CD. In July, 1997, the band reunited
and rerecorded the album for the Collectables Records label. In 2011,
ABKCO released the original recordings.
