More Action

More Action is a studio album by the American garage rock band, ? and the Mysterians, and was released on May 25, 1999 on Cavestomp Records. The album provides a summary of the band's initial tenure in the 1960s, and also functions as a survey of the group's re-recordings of their recording history between 1966 and 1969, along with new material. Since the owners of Questian Mark and the Mysterians' original recordings refused to release CD reissues of the band's two albums, the group would reunite to record new versions of their past songs. Included in the album are the group's more important tracks such as "96 Tears", "Can't Get Enough of You Baby", and "Girl (You Captivate Me)". Most of the rereleased songs can also be found on the band's two albums, 96 Tears and Action.

In particular, "96 Tears" was an influential song in the musical genre of garage rock for its low-budget recording process and signature Farfisa organ riff. Alongside the rerecorded material, the band penned new compositions including "It's Not Easy" and "I'll Be Back". Cover versions of The Rolling Stones' song, "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and Bobby Darin's "Beachcomber" we're also recorded in the same sessions. Moreover, the album features an alternate take of "96 Tears" in Spanish, and early demos by the group in 1966.
