"The Purple Dancer"

Back to "The Purple Dancer"...

Found this on YouTube awhile ago - it's labeled there as "purple dancer acetate":

Not the best sound quality - to be expected if this is really from an acetate. For the most part, this sounds to me pretty much identical to the Madison Blues studio version of the song with a few exceptions. There is a short guitar intro which is not present on the Madison Blues version (maybe just edited out of that version), while the ending is different and sounds cut off on the "acetate" version.

Here's the Madison Blues version for comparison:

And FWIW, here's the single version:

Any thoughts on the "acetate" version vs. the Madison Blues version?
