Is that for certain? What if Lindsey just needed to have two different "finished" versions of the same song so that he could choose between the two of them?

For me the "Wall Of Sound" version always sounded like a finished take; you just don't take things that far if you're just suggesting a particular arrangement for it.

Although the term might not be wholly accurate, I consider it to be a "work-in-progress," simply because the fact that the album version is so different, lends me to believe that the band wasn't entirely satisfied with what they had and where they wanted to go with the song.

So the "Wall Of Sound" version is one of the stops along the way.
