You're right: it's a great version indeed. One of the many songs where non-master versions are way better.
Thanks To The Rolling Sea (Take 10)
THANKS TO THE ROLLING SEA was recorded by Elvis Presley March 26, 1962, in Hollywood, for his GIRLS! GIRLS! GIRLS! movie. Take 5 became the Master and was released the same year on the soundtrack ...
This should have been the master take and used in the film. It's brilliant.

I agree great version, to bad they didn't use it.
I dream a world where man no other man
will scorn. Where LOVE will bless the earth
and peace its paths adorn...
I dig it. And yes, there are many alternates which seem to these ears superior to what was originally released.
...you won't forget me when I go.
