Well, I have looked up Noisette's outtakes and to these ears the edited out Facelift+ sounds mighty fine.
Facelift itself is boldly out and freeish compared to quite tame Third's collage version and the following vocal and instrumental solo improvisations (last 13 minutes) serve as a soothing outro. Harmonica solo is not as long and bad as suggested, while flute and "Eastern" chanting are peacefully blissful. Very good stuff that could easily make into a well-deserved Noisette's deluxe edition.
Will never happen? Steve, don't compromise because the music doesn't!
