Yes, this year saw some pretty nice reissues and boxsets…you have your Smile set from the Beach Boys, your remasters from Pink Floyd, your what-have-you from Rhino, and these are all fine and good. But one real special treat that seems to be flying under the radar are the vinyl reissues of the two Question Mark & The Mysterians LPs.
Unbelievably, neither has been officially available on vinyl since their initial releases 45 years ago!
Pressed on 180 gram vinyl and mastered at 45 RPM, ABKCO and Real Gone Music have teamed up and have done an outstanding job on these.
The artwork is impeccable, the sleeve notes exact, and the fidelity is just beyond! I’ve never heard these albums with such clarity before.
If you’re at all a fan of “96 Tears” and the other great tunes by these garage heroes, do yourself a favor and pick up a pair of these. You will not regret it.
