I just got around to hearing the alternate version of "Wish You Were Here". Wow! Strings???? I'm not used to hearing strings (or string sounding synths) on a Mac song. I know they did them on "Everybody Finds Out" but I thought that was the first time.
For me, this version and the alternate version of "Only Over You" are both way better than the versions that ended up on MIRAGE. I find the MIRAGE versions both on the boring side - these alternate versions add a lot of life and depth and increase the quality of these two tunes.
