(7,162 posts)is a long story. The album "D&B Together was actually titled "Country Life" from 1972 but got pulled quickly from distribution because the record company exec didn't like it. Then it was sold to CBS who reissued in 1972 and the title changed to "D&B Together" and Delaney and Bonnie were divorcing during this whole time.
Years later in 2003 the album got remastered and reissued with some help from Delaney and some tracks got added that he and Bonnie had done as solo acts after their breakup. This was Delaney with other band members than the previous "Friends". Some of the songs have the original "Friends".
The song is a little different on the solo Delaney album and so when the remaster happened in 2003, which is the one on "D&B Together", it is a slightly different mix leading me to believe that Delaney may have done more vocals for it for example. He sounds different enough on his part here and there that it seems like more than studio mixing of old masters. The organ sounds a little different too. But then again the original master tapes may have been overly "played with" on the track on the solo album. So this may have been closer to what Delaney wanted all along.
