Sotosound, it is indeed the same take as the released version, other than the original drum track by Pistol.
I remember hearing Smokey in an interview saying that it originally had an unusual beat, and QC didn't like it, so requested 'a more typical' Motown style one, hence what wound up on the released version.
Whilst it might not be to everyone's taste [[and QCs), it's interesting to listen to the track in it's original form.
Cheers
Paul
