Funny, for an all time classic, the first time I heard it was when I found a 7" of it in a jumble sale. And for quite a long time after, that was the only way I'd hear it - They didn't do it on that TV "Live at Charlton" gig I taped off the telly in the old fashioned way (mic near the speaker).
The 7" version is fine. Some hate it, but I don't hear anything that isn't there from the long version - It's "more of the same" which is completely fine by me.
I guess because I didn't grow up with "Rock Radio", I didn't get to hear a lot of these "classics" at the time. If it wasn't daytime radio 1, or Luxembourg at late, or (eventually) John Peel post 1977, etc.
