      I’ve wondered this for a while. The Green Mind era song Better Than Gone was the b-side on the Sub Pop 7” single of The Wagon. It has never surfaced aside from that, and as far as I know it was never played live.

      It is probably the rarest Dinosaur song that has been released commercially, considering it was a limited release and it was on a vinyl.

      I’ve never heard it. I don’t think it would be unfair if somebody posts the file considering many have never heard it, and like me, are interested in hearing it.

      Thanks!

        It’s been on freesofree since before 2004. It’s a good song.

          That’s obviously not the song. That doesn’t even sound like J at all. I found that the other day and I was upset because to me it doesn’t sound like J, it sounds more like a cover.

            It’s obviously not J singing but it is definently J on guitar. Who the hell is that singing?

              That’s the song. I got it as a B side on sub pop The Wagon.
              Don’t remember but I think it’s Don Fleming that wrote the song. So I guess its him on vocals. Or maybe Jay Spiegel.

                Yep its Don Fleming singing. Its when he was in the band for a second. That version of the wagon was recorded by a 4 piece Dinosaur Jr. I forget who was in the band exactly but it icluded a female too. I’m sure the lineup has to be around here somewhere. That version is different from the one that is on greenmind.
