Smiths request

at first you'll jump on me for asking for a readily available song...but hear me out. i'm looking for Please Please Let Me Get What I Want....but the original version. On every Smiths CD i've searched for, and even on iTunes, all i get is the acoustic one, now i'm not ragging on the acoustic version, it's a good version, but i'd much rather prefer listening to the original, the ermmm studio version. If you can't post it, fine, just lemme know where i can purchase it, cuz it's becoming damn near impossible to look for it.

I'd be interested too as that I have two versions by The Smiths, one from the Best of and one from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. They are both 1:53 minutes long. Also, there are two awesome versions done by the Dream Academy (one with vocals and one without.)

From Wikipedia.com:

Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want (written by Morrissey and Johnny Marr and originally performed by The Smiths) is a single by The Dream Academy.

The instrumental version of the song is the better known version, since it was used in the film Ferris Bueller's Day Off (during the Art Gallery scene) along with "The Edge of Forever". The single wasn't originally included in their debut album, The Dream Academy but later appeared in the compilation album, Somewhere in the Sun... Best of the Dream Academy.

Track listing
Version one

At least one of the versions I have is from the Pretty in Pink soundtrack, which I dont think would be considered an accoustic version;

Here is the instrumental version. If anybody has a higher quality rip of this (192 or greater) I would appreciate getting it.
