Old Friends 4 Sale (The Vault version)

Has anyone heard the Vault version of "Old Friends 4 Sale"? It's a remastered classic... the strings in this was featured in the "Under The Cherry Moon" movie.

It's not great like the unreleased version, i don't like it with strings, the strings make it sounds like a James Bond soundtrac, in the other hand the unreleased version sounds very personal and intimate, and ultimately better.

No, no. The Vault album version is pointless.

Keep your headphones on.

That's not the great strings, darling, it's the lyrics.

Sure it's the strings that make it sounds like a James Bond song.

There are a lot of great James Bond songs. Strings add to the drama.

The combination of the strings and the silly lyrics of the released version, indeed make it laughable.

I love strings believe me, the thing is with string takes away the intimate feeling of the song.

Welcome 2 The Ogre.

Enthusiasm is always welcome, even for butchered versions, I guess.
Clare was "in rare form" that day.
