Diane,
I am reminded of the Beatles recent release of out takes of their many
recordings. In particular there is a succession of three recordings of
Strawberry Fields that begins with John Lennon recording the song for the
first time in his basement. If I were to hear that song without having ever
heard the George Martin produced song I don't think I would be very fond of
it but because I was familiar with the end result I am able to appreciate the
creative process involved.
Eric
