Way better than the album version, wow! But why always the same part?

I don't think it is an alternative version as such, more a demo where, from the sound of it, Salaam had Amy doing the first few phrases again and again presumably to either get the best take or just so they know which phrasing of the verse sounded best. The differences aren't massive though so I'd guess it was so they could get the ideal take. I'm surprised it's surfaced though, dunno where someone would have got it from

Very interesting version.
Every new version of any Amy's song is great and finding every new version is like finding a treasure, because we all want to hear Amy's NEW songs.
Every trifle is like a treasure.
Thank you very much for sharing.

A while ago the whole version was on youtube, but I think it is deleted:(
This is 'The Headquarters Mix', it's on the 12'' vinyl from 'Take The Box'
and it is also on the 3 track cd single from 'Stronger Than Me'. :)

Wow, thank you!
Thanks to search engines, now I have a full version!
If I share it, would it be considered as something bad in relation to Amy?

I really like this version, sorta better than the original. It's a little poppier and sweeter sounding which sounds a little strange given the way the song ended up, but I think it really fits Amy's voice at that time.

To be honest, I've found it on a pirate torrent-tracker. Maybe I'd better don't share it, right?

thank you so much! you're a star!
I really quite like this version, I think more than the album version...the album version sounds a bit too much like elevator music in my opinion (not so much elevator, but more like hotel lobby music).
