Itchycoo Park (mono) I'm Onky Dreaming (mono) Green Circles (mono) Eddie's Dreaming (mono) Mystery - Replica acetate Intended to be a single, a handful of acetates of Mystery were produced for the band and Andrew Loog Oldham to check the mix. For unknown reasons, the single wasn't released, and Ronnie went back into Olympic to record a new vocal during April 1967 for the newly entitled Something I Want To Tell You. This is a replica of the acetate delivered to Andrew Loog Oldham back in 1967.
