Thirded. I checked - it ain't there.
PJ Stuffins Record 1 - Side B

Re: two versions of Go from '93:
Ripped both of these from Youtube and added to the folder. Based on time length of 3:05, the track dated 3-4-93 is identifiable and is added to the 3-4-93 folder. The 3-9-93 version is one of two tracks, but there's no way for me to know which one it is, so for now it's sitting in the Unsorted folder. Both versions are .mp3, would love a .flac.

02. "Leash (Take 2; False start) > Leash (Take 2; Restarted)" [02:45.400]. The "slow potent version" must be Track 1, because track 2 is shorter and actually an instrumental even though it is not identified as an instrumental. I wonder if the "slow potent version" has vocals or not. The demo of Leash that has been referred to as "No Anything" comes from the Stuffins Demos tape if i am not mistaken. That one does have vocals on it.
Do you have this and can you please share?

Also added four more tracks from a generous and anonymous poster, all in .wav format:

1. Chinese is added to PJ Stuffins - Side 1. Same track as what wound up on PJ20, but not cleaned up for inclusion in the film.

1. State of Love and Trust added to Pearl Jam 5-5-92. Sounds like an unmastered mix of the track that was ultimately released.

1. Hard To Imagine added to 2-11-93. Whole band is practicing the song and they've got the structure down, but Ed is just doing some moaning, sounds like he doesn't have any lyrics yet.

Tremor Christ added to Unsorted. No idea where this belongs. The mix is pretty muddy/boomy with headphones on, but it also has a lot more of the room sound around the drums -- feels like the whole band live in a room, and Ed sounds terrific. The guitar feedback in the bridge is more prominent too. There are a couple lyric changes: "Chance blamed fate" is here "Can't change fate," and "Ransom paid the devil / He whispers pleasing words" is here "Handsome is the devil / when whispering pleasing words." Good listen! Wish I knew where it belonged though. :?:

could this be
Guitarist Stone Gossard on the song:

"Tremor Christ" seemed to write itself. It was just a riff-and-a-half, basically. On a muggy, beautiful New Orleans afternoon we came into a very cool studio and it poured out. That and "Nothingman", which Jeff wrote, were recorded a day apart. They were very spontaneous, but with a simple yet indescribably beautiful vibe to them.[2]

what an interesting version of tremor christ... at first it sounds like just a different mix of the album version (e.g. leaving the drums in at the intro) but then there are subtle differences that almost increase as the song goes on

the band sounds super tight

'Jeff Groovin Hard' is pretty hilarious

Dave A really knew how to sass it
