Video tribute to Minnesota Artists
THE MYSTICS
"Funk Masters Supreme"
The Mystics were inducted into the Minnesota Rock Country Hall of Fame on May 27, 2006, at a concert/ceremony held at The Medina Ballroom. Former band members packed the stage and fans packed the dance floor as The Mystics took the stage once again in Minnesota.
Over the years the Mystic’s 45 of “Pain” has become a sought after 45 by record collectors and the song is considered by many musicians and music fans to be one of the best recordings by a local horn band from the 1960’s.
In November, 2011, an acetate surfaced of The Mystics with four songs recorded at Dove Recording Studio in 1965: “My Babe,” “You Ran Away,” “Hi Bird,” and “To Be Or Not To Be.” The first and last songs on the acetate were never released. “You Ran Away” and “Hi Bird” were on the bands first 45 on the Bear label.
In 2011 and 2012, both Wes Hayne and Butch Stokes reported they had no knowledge at the time about the “Pain” 45 coming out on the Charlie label. There is no information known to date about this record label. One idea is that the Charlie label 45 may have been pressed exclusively for Dayton’s, who paid for the recording session.
In 2012, recent reports are that “Pain” by the Mystics has been a featured song at dance clubs in the UK.
