The original polythene pressing version is a classic down-tempo, 3-piece song, but lacks the grunginess of the rest of the tracks on that album.
The new version has a decidedly "sythetic" sound to it. Much more slickly (and heavily) produced.
TBH, the new version is mountains better. This was my least favorite track off Polythene when I first heard the record (yes, I liked it even less than Tangerine). Now, it's way up the list.
