I much prefer this version of the song to the one that made it on SYW, which just sounds bare and flat to my ears. The single version of this song is just cheesy sounding to me.

Okay, now I'm confused... I thought the single version
is the "wall of sound version." Is there yet another version that I am not aware of?
I happen to belong to the camp that prefers the SYW album version. The arrangement is spare, but it totally fits with the mournful lyrics. I think the single version is just too happy-sounding, and Stevie's vocals are impassionate- almost Klonopin-era-like.
