96 Tears- ? and the Mysterians (New Enhanced Stereo Version) 1966

I've had requests for this song so when I work up decided to work on enhancing this song. It was a fun song and only took 4 hours which is probably the shortest time of any song I've done. The only part that gave me trouble was the middle bridge. The bass guitar is out of tune with the organ and guitar track on the original. The way I got around it was to place an low E not on both channels to override the off pitch then track on lead part with my telecaster. I put more pronounced drums and redid parts of the continental Vox organ using a sound by Yamaha keyboard to match as closely as possible the original sound. The electric piano #2 came closest to the sound.
Hope you oldies fans like it!

The coolest song ever written that made me proud to be around in the 60’s.

I was a teenager throughout the 60s and it still remains the greatest music decade for me. I’m 72 now, and was 15 in 1966 when this song came out. It was & still remains my favourite song ever. Peace & Love people ❤❤

sometimes I forget just how awesome this song is -- 1966 was a monster year for all genres of music.

Best music ever done are the 60's❤ n 70's❤, you only walk through this era once, as much as they try all this great music can't be done again🎉

One of the best one hit wonders ever recorded! :-)

I'm smiling so hard my face hurts! It's an otherworldly experience hearing this 1966 garage nugget sounding far better than it ever did on radio or on my turntable when I was 16, and better, more robust, than the ABKCO reissue. You are doing an incredible job and I am grateful for your efforts.

This song does more with less than any other song I can think of. Classic.

I'm going to tell you something right now! This the finest production I have ever heard of this tune! I hear things I have never heard! Excellent work 👍

[tazmod]

That was our favorite dance song in the 60’s. Every local band knew how to play it. They were an American garage rock band from Bay City and Saginaw Michigan.

1966 what a year that was with music like this.

[luizamorim]

I was given this single for my 18th birthday in 1967...it was the only gift this person who was my lover ever gave me! Soon after we went our separate ways...but the song still remains relevant after so many decades that it feels like centuries ...especially now that's been enhanced by a genius...Thanks!👏

This would play on KHJ Boss Radio in my '64 Econoline Van every day in '66 while driving home from Huntington Beach (in SoCal) after a day of surfing. A great trip down memory lane, thanks!

I'm crying 96 tears every time I hear this song because it does not last nearly long enough. I love the way he changes tone at the end

[Fernando-trki]

The greatest group to come out of Saginaw, Michigan Mr.Martinez your voice is there for eternity 96???

[ernesthusband]

to this day still a gem in my book and as a Veteran, still love the garage bands of the rock n roll era of the 50s and 60s and love this song forever n will love it until i am gone from this place called Earth!!!

Oh man, there are some songs that are just stuck in my brain and this is one of them! I could have a severe case of dementia but if this song comes on in some nursing home, I'm sure I'll jump up and start dancing! Nurse! I can't help it! Oh baby! Go baby, go! Let me hear you cry now! Come on!

[rubenhernandez]

This song bring's back great memories of my oldest brother Sal. He bought the record on the Cameo lable a week before he enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1966. RIP Carnal

Such a wonderful & enjoyable up of a song that I have enjoyed since grade school. You have my deepest admiration and respect, Kenn Wingle!
