Here's something a little left field, but no prizes for knowing why I chose to post this gig. I like many others have never heard the enigmatic '? And The Mysterians' before now (with the exception of that song). In all honesty, whilst I like some of this type of '60's garage psychedilia, I have never really gone out of my way to go beyond '96 Tears'. So this I post as a curiosity as much as anything else. Theirs is a set of covers and originals. The big hit gets played twice, three times almost, as 'Can't Get Enough of You Baby' is pretty close.
To listen to them, ? And The Mysterians could pass off as Naz Nomad & The Nightmares!!
It is clear that The Stranglers cover was very faithful to the original in the same way that 'All Day And All Of The Night' deviated very little from The Kinks' version. Herein lies the problem with cover versions, they are only meaningful if they take a song in new direction... a 'Walk On By' or an 'Eloise' for example.
Thanks to the original Dime uploader.
