Looking for my favorite 'Smile At You'

I know, there are nine million Smile At You versions. The only way I can describe this version is that it doesn't have the castinet-percussion thingie at the beginning, and that about the first third of the way through we hear Stevie throw out a slightly off-mic "Yeaah!"
This might have even been on the 'Uncirculated Rumours' set, but I don't remember for certain.

My opinion is that this version finishes even more dramatically than the version that some people call the 'angry version'.

This isn't much to go by, but if anyone has a Smile At You that matches this description and would post it, that would fantastic.

p.s if the world were a perfect place, I'd still have a cassette player AND the cassette tapes that had my old collections. Then I'd still have my Smile At You....

Is this possibly it?

John, that particular take/mix of "Smile At You", the one from Uncirculated Rumours, I do not have in perfect Masters quality, but that is the one you are describing, from the Tusk
era.
I have other Masters remixes of the same basic version, but they are all shorter edits, chopping out the second chorus and leading to more wild Stevie. I mean, PERFECT quality sound, clear mix, etc., but they chop out the final chorus and much of her ending wails.

I have it in crappy sound quality, but not a Master...

Thanks Dark Angel, but no, that's not the one.
Mike, I'll take crappy for now.
BTW, I wrote that she sings "Yeah!" but I think it's more like "yeow!". She blurts it out (again, slightly off-mic) right before the "I have come to know this world of changing faces..." part, I think. But it being from the 'Tusk' era sounds about right to me.

"My first mistake was to smile at YOU"

Here's another. It says it's from the Mirage outtakes, but to me it sounds more like the one you're looking for than the Uncirculated Rumours version which has the castanet/percussion things at the beginning. If not, I'll find it too.

Yes, actually that's the one. So, I guess I was wrong about the Uncirculated Rumours, as I said there are so many Smile At You's one loses track easy. She does the "yeah" or "yeow" sound at 1:16, and she really rips into it around the 4:11 point.

Thanks for posting it! I'll make sure I rename it in my library as 'Smile At You- Johns Fave Version' so I don't get it mixed up. There is another one I have which says 'Mirage Demo' which sounds different- she's using more of the shuddery, deeper voice on that one.
