Would some kind soul make the single version available if they have it? I've read that it's much better than the widely available CD version.

I have a Purple Dancer "Kiln House session" version here that I'm listening to and it clocks in at 5:41. Would this be the same as the outtake version on Madison Blues? Regardless, I love the stuff from this era.

Edit: I also have a track (7:08) titled Station Man/Danny's Chant Demo. Is this featured on any compilations or box sets? I only have studio albums and Live in Chicago, and it's time for me to go to bed, so I can't do a Google search right now.

The outtake I have clocks in at 5:05. Of course I only have "Perfect Days". "Madison Blues" has two outtake versions of Purple Dancer. You must have the other one.

I have three versions of Purple Dancer

Madison Blues Disc 1 - 5.04
Madison Blues Disc 2 - 7.36 (although really only 7.18 as the rest is the start of the next track)
Single version - 5.41
