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,

    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.
