For whatever reason, it was never given an official release until a year later but only after being re-recorded. Someone thought it lacked something so they tacked on a horn arrangement.
Well, everyone was used to the first recording without the horns, so now I think a lot of us, to this day, think the version with the horns sounds just plain weird. I guess often it just boils down to whatever version you hear first is the one your ears is used to.
