It's not amateur or unworthy. I think its very real and I hope the band release that version.

You misunderstand me.
It wasn't a statement on the quality of the song; it was a statement about the tradition of the band including live versions, cover versions and alternate versions of existing tracks as ersatz b-sides on singles, because of the large number of 'exclusive tracks' that were required across vinyl, CD and MC when there were actually singles still being put out.
It was a matter of simple logistics in those days.
