Until Pearl Jam, I had never really sought out B sides or non album tracks from any other band.
But Pearl Jam seemed to have a wealth of them back in the day - all high quality songs & sometimes better than anything on their albums; especially the TEN era B-sides and non album tracks.
I was happy when this got released on the Ten Redux - although I prefer the original bootlegged version better
The song did surprisingly well as a single and my local radio station still plays this one from time to time

"Hard to Imagine" was the holy grail for me for a long time, and "Just a Girl." But I remember spending $30 of saved up allowance money on the Japanese "Alive" import single at a Sam Goody in Boston. I felt like the champion of the world. Still don't know how they managed to keep "Hold On" on the down low for so long.

Would've been interesting if, instead of Vs., they had followed Ten with an album of leftover material from around that time.

I know it is an alternate vocal from the outtake version on "Rarities Unreleased Cuts," but I wasn't sure if it was confirmed or just suspected to be a new recording. There are definitely parts where, if it's a circa 2009 recording, he does an okay job of selling it, but it definitely doesn't have that full-throated Neanderthal warble that most of the Ten-era recordings do.
Here's the original thread on the reissue -- people were super excited about it at the time, I feel like I've only ever heard people talk about how much they hate it...

I don't think it was ever confirmed, just a well-educated guess based on:
- the vocal style not matching 1990-1991 era Ed
- Ed having apparently said he was not happy with the original lyrics
- different lyrics to any of the takes available from 1990-1991
All of this is consistent with Ed re-recording the vocals with new lyrics to release it as a single to promote the 2009 box set. The distortion over the vocals does do a good job of hiding the fact that it is modern-day Ed singing though
