Er Um sorry Walter but before I posted my notes above I not only read my songbook booklet but I also took the precaution of playing Songbook disc 1 and the version of TWIF on Songbook
IS categorically the original from Lightfoot!
NOT the rearranged version on the later album
I also read from the songbook booklet tracklist at:-
http://web.archive.org/web/200212260...75802trx.lasso
or
http://www.tracklist.notlong.com
the folowing in Black and white
4.EARLY MORNING RAIN [3:00]
5.THE WAY I FEEL [3:42]
Also issued as United Artists single #50152 (4/67)
6.STEEL RAIL BLUES [2:48]
Tracks 3-6 from the album Lightfoot! (A)
United Artists #6487 (1/66)
Produced by JOHN COURT
Recorded in New York City (12/64)
BRUCE LANGHORNE & DAVID REA: guitar * BILL LEE: bass
I also note that according to the Canadian "The Original Lightfoot...The United Artists Years" 3-CD box set
TWIF on Lightfoot! runs 3:43 (compare with 3:42 above)
whereas the later version on the album "The Way I Feel" is much shorter at 3:02 and is presumably therefore at a significantly faster tempo as well as switching to Red Shea.
From the above unarguable reasons I rest my case
John Fowles
Robby Lake also said "No duh" but I cannot fathom out what he might be saying "No" aboot here I as I was not arguing aboot the accoustic properties at all

Quite frankly "B" life is too short to check oot every "Best Of" compilation but I would not be surprised to find the later TWIF on one or other of them. Nor have I checked the most recent "Classic Masters" which logically should be the same as on the 1967 Canadian Picture Sleeve Single
which(witch) reconsulting the tracknotes above is or was apparently the earlier Lightfoot! version
