[Heeplist] A Far Better Way

[Filip Björner]

Yes, several good outtakes were included as bonuses on some of those remastered CDs. We all know that. The question is why that awesome song was an outtake from the LP. And in a shorter version, I believe it could have been a hit single.

That is so true but it's not the original release back when it would've meant something sales wise. If I member correctly I was in college firefly did chart especially in the Midwest
