? (QUESTION MARK) & THE MYSTERIANS- "96 TEARS" (ALTERNATE VERSION IN STEREO +LYRICS)

"96 TEARS" was a million-selling #1 hit in 1966. This is a previously unreleased version. ""96 Tears" is a song recorded by the American garage rock band ? and the Mysterians in 1966. In October of that year, it was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. and on the RPM 100 in Canada. Billboard ranked the record as the #5 song for 1966] It is ranked #213 on the Rolling Stone list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. On November 11, 1966, the single was certified as gold by the RIAA. The song was written by Question Mark (Rudy Martinez) in 1962 in his manager's living room and was recorded in Bay City, Michigan. At first, Question Mark had to insist that "96 Tears" be the A-side over "Midnight Hour". Once the issue was settled, the band recorded the single for the small Pa-Go-Go label, owned by Lilly Gonzalez. She backed the band financially and allowed access to her personal studio in her basement. When it began doing well locally, the band took a recording to Bob Dell, the radio director in Flint, Michigan. The song became the most requested, and wider radio play spread into Canada, where it was picked up by Cameo Records for national distribution.
Various reports have suggested that Question Mark first wrote the song under the title "Too Many Teardrops" and then "69 Tears", but then changed the title, fearing that radio stations wouldn't play the song. However, Question Mark denied this in an interview, stating that the number 96 has a deep philosophical meaning for him. Known for its signature organ licks and bare-bones lyrics, "96 Tears" is recognized as one of the first garage band hits and has even been given credit for starting the punk rock movement. The song appeared on the band's album "96 Tears". The follow-up song, "I Need Somebody", peaked at #22 later that year, but no other U.S. Top 40 singles followed." (Wikipedia)
LYRICS: Too many teardrops
For one heart to be cryin'
Too many teardrops
For one heart to carry on
You're way on top now
Since you left me
You're always laughin'
Way down at me
But watch out now
I'm gonna get there
We'll be together
For just a little while
And then I'm gonna put you
Way down here
And you'll start cryin'
96 tears
Cry
Cry
And when the sun comes up
I'll be on top
You'll be right down there
Lookin' up
And I might wave
"Come up here"
But I don't see you
Wavin' now
I'm way down here
Wonderin' how
I'm gonna get to you
But I know now
I'll just cry
Cry, I'll just cry
Too many teardrops
For one heart to be cryin'
Too many teardrops
For one heart to carry on
You're gonna cry
96 tears
You're gonna cry
96 tears
You're gonna cry, cry, cry, cry now
You're gonna cry, cry, cry, cry
96 tears
Come on, let me hear you cry now
96 tears, whoo!
I wanna hear you cry
Night and day, yeah, all night long
Uh, 96 tears cry, cry, cry
Come on baby, let me hear you cry now
All night long
96 tears, yeah, come on now
96 tears
