Finally heard the 1st version in full. Sounds great. Duno if I prefer it to the original as I like elements from both versions. 1st version sounds much more energetic and rawer, but I like the last little line that goes "When the world keeps trying to drag me down...." from the final version. If we took the best elements from each version we'd have a perfect nice day.
All we need now is the first version of Bells Of Freedom and we could make the original album if we really wanted to.
