My favorite is still the one I heard on a cassette I got from a friend - I think it ran close to 8 minutes. I wonder if it's the one on the 20/20 sessions ..well, I guess not cd or album, but digital download?
So officially, I will go with the SS/WH two-fer version.

A digital release is still official, and it’s still an album

my favorite one is the version released on I Can Hear Music, the flow of the sections feel so correct and sounds so great

The Smiley Smile/Wild Honey twofer version. It's the one I heard first, which is usually the deciding factor.

It also helps that this lushly orchestrated fragment follows the a cappella "Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring"--to stunning effect. ::)

Good Vibrations box set version.

Such a good song, why didn't they finish it... :(
