This informal run through with Brian on piano and vocals and an unknown musician on bass is more faithful to the Manfred Mann original than the Love version that was a local L.A. hit at the time. Brian may have been considering the song as a B side to Heroes, as he mentioned to Tracy Thomas (reported in her Feb 18 column): "I may end up just recording me and a piano – I tried it last night in the studio." -- Lou Shenk, A SMiLE Primer
