Like Buddha Mac said on SC
there really wasn't an OG version of BW that leaked w/ all those songs on it but that one's remade w/ cuts from the BW sessions (Watch, Sun, Good Times).

The only leak was the album advance that had these differences:

-original version of "Flowers"
-original version of The Forest w/ the second sung part
-Thin Ice interlude (separate than the Ice song w/ the Heatmakerz beat- it was a short sample track w/ "If you skate upon thin ice...")
-Ghostface started w/ the end of Ice-T's First Impression
-Juks was still an instrumental over Ghost's verse

Good Times and The Sun were released on separate clean radio advances as part of BW and available on mixtapes and The Watch was dropped on a white label w/ Flowers after the remix stole the soul from it around the time the album dropped. There was also a remix of Good Times that I think only made it to mixtapes.

Lastly, there is a mislabeled "original version" of Never Be The Same Again out there that was just a fan edit from the time where they took a beat that Choo ("Malcolm" on SC producer) posted and said he submitted for BW sessions but Ghost didn't use and they put the vocals from the single's accapellas on top of, but it's not a legit version.

  Here's the supposed original version of Bulletproof Wallets, it's
  been put together with the info on the net regarding the advance
  and promo copies floating around since nobody for sure has the
  definitive o.g. tracklisting. The only that is definite is that
  this version is significantly iller than the retail.

  This is the closet thing and every joint is CDQ so enjoy and fukk
  epic records for ruining this lp and smh/lol @ rza for smoking too
  many honey-dipped blunts and forgetting what record he sampled for
  "The Sun"...


  Peace kids...

fukkin sample clearances man :why:

Retail version still a great album but anyone who heard the real one can't help but be disappointed.

Always wondered why they fukked up Flowers though. Same damn sample so why they change it to the weaker flip?

The Sun was my shyt on there

:dahell: at the reason why that song was taken off
(which Coles recently revealed had to be deleted since RZA couldn't find the original record he had sampled)

there it is. they better clear that shyt now for the 10th anniversary that just passed in November, put that bih back out deluxe on Vinyl & digital platforms proper

besides the Annie "My Wallos" interpretation on The Forest I bet they can clear everything else easy enough at this point or fly under the radar. that Barry White sample on The Watch gets cleared all the time. Same with the Bob James 'Take Me To The Mardi Gras' sample from The Flowers OG. Good Times sample flew a few times too, even on Masta Killa No Said Date album. Probably keep The Forest retail to leave the Hollywood lawyers out of it. But put that out as a fixed up Deluxe. as a reissued old album it shouldn't have the same sample clearance lawyer thirst it had back then

It sounded better with the album we got. Street Chemistry should've got cut. Dope song but it was too hard for the official retail release.
