96 Tears/ Midnight Hour

Note: There were several variations of this major touchstone of 1960s garage rock. This is one of the rarer variants that credits the band as "? (Question Mark) & The Mysterians" and Rudy Martinez as songwriter on both sides. (The wax trail-off on the A side reads "C-428A R".)

In addition the label makes no mention of being distributed by MGM, nor does it mention Cameo-Parkway. The label and vinyl are nothing great to look at, but surprisingly, the audio is near mint! The label itself has a teeny bit of writing, but mostly it's the ringwear and color flecking that lowers its grade. The vinyl just looks very scuffed/scratched up, but apparently most of the things that look like scratches are just heavy scuffs. The B side audio is near mint as well.
