Actually, while I whole-heartedly agree with you on "Leatherman" and the cover of Victoria William's "Crazy Mary", this song should NOT be on ANY official Pearl Jam Odds & Sods releases, because it is definitely NOT a PJ song; according to my source, the person(s) who compiled the "VS. SESSIONS" and "FIVE MUSKETEER" bootlegs tried to pass off two bogus tracks as Pearl Jam songs: "Hold Your Head Up" and "Mystery". This song is actually recorded by the band Blind Horse... it sounds nothing at all even like PJ's earliest demos. How it's still today confused as an official PJ song is bewildering, to say the least...
That being said, don't buy this crap. "Girl" is the only PJ song that isn't available on any official releases, has long ago left the PJ catalog, and the rest of the songs on these discs are just early demos of some of the songs from the Ten sessions... why it's labelled "VS. Sessions" is the real 'mystery' to me...
