The Version of EM on this album differs a little bit from the Original Good king bad track it might be a remix or an alternate version but it's one of my favorite Benson Tracks.

The Version of EM on this album differs a little bit from the Original Good king bad track it might be a remix or an alternate version but it's one of my favorite Benson Tracks.

I'll have to compare the two--I haven't listened all that closely, but you're right in that it's either an alternate take or a remix.
