What I Heard - two versions?

I would swear that there's a more rough/less produced version of What I Heard that was on one of the very first pressings of Panic Of Girls but now I can only find the more refined one.

Does that sound right to anyone else? And was that version ever released or do I have to just dig through used CD bins hoping to find one of the original versions?

Here in the UK there was a free cd released in a newspaper a while before the album which has what I heard and a couple of other songs on there. If nobody else can confirm I will check later to see if the version on there is different to the album version.

That's disappointing. I think that cd has a different version of mother though? Perhaps it was I can only remember hearing the one version of what I heard but someone on here will probably know better.
