Multiple Versions of The Nightmare

[FMM2]

Hey folks,

I was going through my music files this evening and happened on a discovery. Apparently there are two versions of "The Nightmare" out there. The version that ended up on Rock A Little and a second longer and more intricate version.

The second version, seems to be more fully realized in my opinion. It has the traditional verse chorus verse structure, more intricate guitar and so forth. The album version seems to be a bunch of verses strung together with the chorus at the end...

I much prefer the alt version I discovered. Why is it some of the best songs or best outtakes get left off albums?
