No one disputes she "saved it" for the Mac just like she "saved" Thats Alright and other songs.
I never heard that she "pulled it" from Bella Donna to give to the Mac with the intention it was intended for them. If you are rehearsing the song for your solo album that means you intended to use it. It just did not make the final cut like Gold and Braid and others.
You could make that argument about Thats Alright too.
IMHO it just seems because Gypsy turned out to be such a defining Mac song that she may be embellishing the story a bit. Lets be real, if Jimmy wanted it on Bella Donna or thought it should be on Bella Donna....it would have been on Bella Donna.
