Review by Tony Hookings

Album Review: Girl You Captivate Me by And The Mysterians Alright, let’s talk about Girl You Captivate Me, the 1967 garage rock gem from And The Mysterians. Released on Cameo Records, this album is like a time capsule of raw energy and unpolished charm. It’s not perfect, but that’s kinda the point—this is rock ‘n’ roll in its scrappy, heartfelt glory. First off, you gotta give props to the title track, “Girl (You Captivate Me).” It’s one of those songs that grabs you with its simplicity. The guitar riff? Straightforward but catchy as hell. And the vocals? They’re not trying to be fancy—they’re just real. You can tell these guys weren’t aiming for perfection; they were aiming for emotion. That’s what makes it stick. Plus, Joey Day’s arrangement gives it this cool, almost cinematic vibe, like you’re cruising down some dusty highway in the late ‘60s. Then there’s “Got To.” Oh man, this one’s got grit. It’s short, punchy, and doesn’t overstay its welcome. The rhythm section slaps hard, and the organ adds this groovy layer that screams vintage garage rock. Producer Bob Reno and Neil Bogart clearly knew how to let the band do their thing without overproducing it. Tracks like this remind me why I fell in love with rock music in the first place—it’s messy, loud, and full of life. What’s wild about this album is how it feels both dated and timeless. Sure, it’s a product of its era—1967 was all about breaking boundaries—but at its core, it’s just a bunch of dudes pouring their hearts into their craft. And honestly, isn’t that what music’s all about? Here’s the kicker: listening to this album made me realize something. Garage rock isn’t just a genre—it’s an attitude. It’s about saying, “Yeah, we might not have the fanciest gear or the smoothest vocals, but we’ve got something to say, and we’re gonna say it loud.” So if you’re looking for polished pop tunes, this ain’t it. But if you want music that feels alive, Girl You Captivate Me is worth a spin. Oh, and random thought: I bet these guys would’ve killed it at a house party back in the day. Just saying.

On this day in 1967 {June 10th} ? and the Mysterians performed "Girl (You Captivate Me)" on the Dick Clark ABC-TV network Saturday-afternoon program 'American Bandstand'...
At the time the song was in it's first week on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart, it was at position #100; the following week it peaked at #98 and that was also it final week on the chart...
The Bay City, MI-based quintet had three other records make the Top 100 chart; "96 Tears" {#1 in 1966}, "I Need Somebody" {#22 in 1966}, and "Can't Get Enough of You, Babe" {#56 in 1967}...
I had the satisfaction of knowing Two members from the Band called, "Question Mark & The Mysterians" ! ! Eddie was there drummer & Frank and I attended Reese High School ..... as they say, "Back in the Day". L.O.L. Thank's for all those wonderful memories and that wonderful song called .... "96 Tears". Thanks ......... yours truly, Manny......
