I can hear background drums. It is definetly studio and album version

I think it might be the same take , though recorded with a separate, maybe consumer-level microphone and tape recorder... this would explain the noticible flutter, the poor quality of fidelity of the voice, and any time discrepancies.... There is no reverb on the voice, yet you can hear the piano, without any other instruments; I don't know if isolation can get rid of reverb... (I tried to find differences in the timing or embellishments in the singing lines but couldn't) Possible scenario: EJ recorded the lead vocal and piano at the same time, and the other instruments were added later on(?), and he or someone else had their own recorder there also... Although, most often, with other musicians, the main band instruments are recorded first, and the vocals are added after.... If someone knows how EJ works in the studio it could resolve whether this is the original recording (isolated), or a separated recording done at the same time.....

I knew that I had lost what have been found.

this is simply track isolation..the vocals are exact u cant duplicate that...check the line if looks could kill then id be a dead man its spot on...this is done either with a vocal eliminator of sorts or from original tapes isolating the piano and vocal which were mixed on the same track...this is nottttttt an off cut.

I'm not convinced. Elton's vocal and piano phrasing is far too identical to the original studio recording to be an entirely different performance. Listen to his demos for the songs from the Elton John and Tumbleweed Connection albums (featured on the recent Deluxe Editions). They're vastly different. I think the difference in sync could come from problems with tape speed. Check the pitch on the two recordings to see if it's different.

I tried to sync up the audio from the studio version with this version and found that this recording is not from isolating the tracks. Try it, and you'll see that this one is played a bit slower. I also tried it with the song Dan Dare and found it to be way off. The other recordings could have come from track isolation, but these two were definitely just demos.

By far Elton's most over-looked tune.

@snorkelbda03 Yes. This is from a bootleg in which someone took all the Westies tracks and just soloed the piano and vocal tracks. It's an interesting, bare look at an album which I love, but which buried the piano most unfortunately. You can actually hear the other instruments bleeding through the piano mics at the beginning of "Grow Some Funk of Your Own".

I guess that this version is better than the studio version.Very dramatic demo.
