Same song/Same record

in Other Music
A friend of mine, quite knowledgeable in music, put this question out and I thought it was interesting enough to put out here:

On Bob Dylan's 'Planet Waves', the song Forever Young is recorded twice - two different versions, back to back. Can anyone think of another record that does the same thing? Somewhere where the artist has two versions and can't decide, so they say screw it and put both versions on the same album?
The Beatles have two versions of Revolution but one on the White Album and the other was a single.

So far, we haven't thought of one but maybe someone out here does?

    Not sure if this counts...

    Into the Wild Soundtrack: Guaranteed (with lyrics) and Guaranteed (humming). It's technically still only 1 track, but there is definitely a break/pause signaling the '2nd track' to be a 'hidden tack'.

    Counts?

    Sublime has two versions of What I got on their self titled.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I put forward Eddie's versions of Guaranteed but my friend hasn't responded yet. Both versions are roughly the same length so I think it qualifies!

    On Jack White's Lazaretto, depending on where you set the needle, the song "Just One Drink" has an acoustic or electric intro.

    Joseph Arthur has two versions of "Travel As Equals" on Redemption City (Great album).

    I actually tend to think of Life Wasted and Wasted Reprise as being two versions of the same song, but I know that's not actually accurate. More like two parts of the same song. But still, it came to mind right away.

    Not quite what you're asking for, but Hey Hey, My My and My My, Hey Hey almost fit the bill on Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young.

    Also, a more extreme example of this, on Neil Young's Sleeps With Angels album, the songs "Western Hero" and "Train of Love" feature almost exactly the same music, and differ only in lyrics. Surely an example of an artist saying "screw it!", when deciding on which cut would make the album?

    Neil's done this a few other times as well. Tonight's The Night has the title track as the first and last song, and Freedom has RITFW as its first and last song. Psychedelic Pill also has 2 versions of the title track on that album

    Thanks for the comments and responses - Western Hero and Train of Love was one of my first thoughts (actually, I couldn't remember the names - it's been that long since I've listened to Sleeps With Angels). Of course when it comes to artists who say screw it, I'll put it all out - Dylan and Young are the most likely to be the ones who do it!
