MYSTERY (Not to be confused with a mystery poster thread)

edited September 2008 in The Porch
I was cruising around with the iPod shuffling my PJ tracks (always an adventure with the 1200+ songs I have in my library). A track came up that I didn't even know I had called "mystery", off the Alternative Versions CD I got from my friend that introduced me to the band. I found this title fitting because it is a mystery as to where the song came from and a mystery as to why NO ONE ever speaks of it. Does anyone have any info on this song?

    I know there was an old bootleg called "The 5 Musketeers" that included "Mystery" on it. That's about all the info I have on it, though.

    the ol'RK has never had the time to verify but the urban legend is that its a track by Blind Horse which if memory serves, was a project that Bruce Fairweather (former Mother Love Bone guitarist) was involved with. But that's just urban legend.

    Hope that helps....

    yer pal,

    The ol'RK is a lone wolf, a solo artist. Rumors can be deadly... but only if you believe them!!

    hmm...mystery solved? Never heard that song before...pretty neat. And very cool taking a trip down memory lane with the video - whoever put it together had access to a lot of old show posters & such! Nice :)

    Yes, that is not Ed singing on Mystery. It is on Hallucinogenic Recipe. Cool song. But not PJ.
