I recently came across the Kinks "Rare Anthology" discs on one of the various trackers of ill repute. One of the listed tracks was "Sunny Afternoon" i stereo, and so I grabbed it assuming it was going to turn out to be some sort of processing-job. To my surprise, though (and hopefully I'm not the only person who didn't already know about it), it IS real, albeit...well, not very good. Here's a quick MP3:

As an extra bonus, I have a partial flac of another "version" of Sunny Afternoon. I'm curious to see if anyone a) thinks it sounds any different than usual, and b) can identify where it's from.

Not being *that* familiar with the song, is it missing something? Piano maybe?
"I know because it is impossible for a tape to hold the compression levels of these treble boosted MFSL's like Something/Anything. The metal particulate on the tape would shatter and all you'd hear is distortion if even that." - VD
The background harmonies in the verses and the lead vocal doubling in the choruses (sounds like it may be Rasa Davies as it doesn't sound like Dave) are neat to hear. Also the little guitar figure at the end which doesn't fade out like the official release. I could hear another acoustic guitar in the background during that last riff.
The second clip sounds like it may have been EQ'd as the guitar and vocals sound more prominent in the high end. No idea on the source.
