Love this version. Its kind of smoother and more confident than the version that was released.

Hey Ronnie! LOVING the deep and rare versions. Any chance you'd consider repopulating the lyrics in bold, standard white font? The red script is creative but tricky to read. Thanks!

Is this the infamous Steve Brown version before Gus got brought in?
