Al Kooper version. Not the proper mix but something I pieced together from lousy-quality boots, so the timing slides a bit. Still, you can get an idea of what it was supposed to sound like. Listen to "The Bob Newhart Show ("Home To Emily") " at about 30 seconds into it and compare.

This is different, but I'm not sure what you have here, the so called "Al Kooper version", has distinctive organ overdubs added to the original Jan. 1971 track, not piano. The bonus track of Name of the Game that you refer to, is on the 1993 CD release of Straight Up, while a different take yet shows up on the 2010 re-release of the "Straight Up CD.

@tripleJ1955 The source bootleg has both organ and piano, with Bill Collins talking and humming before the song starts. He apparently recorded the song off of stereo speakers. Perhaps the piano was added by Collins (a pianist) but his stylings were old fashioned and it doesn't sound like him. I assumed all the keys to be by Kooper. Do you have just the organ version to upload for comparison?

@billbadford According to Matovina's book, Kooper added "tinkling piano, organ fills and organ swoops" (page 133). This sounds like that version. It also mentions a later Harrison/Spector remix. Perhaps that mix removed the piano and spared the organ? This is probably best a question for Al Kooper.

I MEANT WHATS AN 'AL KOOPER' VERSION?
happygleason 1 year ago
@happygleason Al Kooper is a keyboardist who was affiliated with Badfinger through their mutual management. He was asked to spice this song up tso it could be released as a single. Apple didn't approve of it so this revamp was never released by them. The same recording minus Kooper was released on CD as a bonus track many years later.
