The short version: That was on the original pressing of the band's debut album, but after "For What It's Worth" became a hit, it was removed in favor of the million-seller.
It's a little sloppy, to be sure, but I love it for a) the quote from "Day Tripper" at the end, and b) its ahead of its time sort of punkish folk-rock insouciance. Man, what I wouldn't have given to see those guys live.
And and oh my god -- that bridge is a work of freaking genius!!!
Great find. It was included on the badly curated (by Neil) Box set, but I’d completely forgotten it.

DeleteA very good track but as the weakest track on the album the most logical track to get bumped.
