you know, i blame people who screamed since GOS 2008 came out how he shouldn't have used originally recorded versions on new albums for re-recorded version of She Smiled Sweetly on SWS. sure it's pretty, but the original GOS one was almost perfection. especially how he sang the verses - i always feel the need to listen to it over and over again. new version i just let go on to another song...

but back to my original point - people have for years complained why did SYW, UTS and GOS had originally recorded versions of songs from GOS sessions, and that b/c of that fact these albums are highly uneven / unevenly produced (well, yeah, they are, but...). so now SWS is evenly produced, all songs are recorded anew, and it's produced to be raw, and not an overproduced perfection like OOTC was (but there people complained why did he need to go for overproduced perfection when he could've just put many albums out in that time frame much faster )... and now people complain that SWS is too raw and too sloppily produced - so you never can win them all!!
