I was privelidged to see Thomas on the Flat Earth Tour here in Toronto at Massey Hall, and I must say it was the best concert ever...my ears are still ringing lol
The reason I like this version best is because it is more in tune with the sound of the rest of the album, the guitar version is good but it doesn't fit in with the sound of the other tracks. It's only because the first few US releases featured Dolby's earlier guitar version instead that some people prefer that one instead of the intended version here.
I hate this version. Why, because when I bought this cassette back in 1983, the other version was on the tape. I never ever heard this version till I bought the C.D. years later. Maybe hate is too strong of a word,, its just that the other version got me through basic at Ft. knox, 1 year at Ft. Benning where I wore it out and this tape was my first purchase at camp Casey korea in 1985. So me and this song have some history.
Yay! I am actually really delighted I am the first to comment on this one! I love this version-even more than the 2nd one, on another pressing. I also love Dolby's spoken parts on this album, such as the,'Hmm', at 3:06. I adore Dolby, always will. Even if he did make that,'Aliens', album. ^_^

@st51kmg365 I agree. This version sucks, and it seems to be the only one available on CD or the web. .
