Gotta stop (messin' about) question

I heard there is an unreleased alternate funk version of gotta stop (messin' about). Is this true?

No.

Though it is possible he may have performed it live at some stage in a different
way, like the one you describe. But if this is the case, I haven't heard it.
There's certainly no circulating alternate studio version.

yep, he did some pretty punk-funky versions of this way back when... this may be what you've heard about

Wasn't Gotta Stop Messing About one of the songs chosen by fans at one of the celebrations for an intended Crystal Ball II? Even though no one actually got to hear samples of the tracks...
