The second one has "synthetic" sounding horns on it,played on keyboard,I think. It kind of ruins the mood for me. As is said about most songs,the original is always the best!.......unless it was lousy to start with. The first is totally pure and honest and full of joy. The first one's fine,thank you.

Oh I would have to argue that one! The Beatles did everything better than the original. I have not heard Dylan's rendition of 'Ring Them Bells'(if there is one)but I am sure Gordon's is ions better.
