Alternative version of Hoist that rag on Most wanted man soundtrack?

According to a comment on IMDB, an alternative version of Hoist that rag is used during the end credits of the Anton Corbijn movie A most wanted man.

Corbijn and Waits share a history of course (most notably the wonderful picture book Anton Corbijn / Tom Waits '77-'11), but I can't find any further confirmation. In any case, the OST available on Amazon does not list Hoist that rag at all.

The song definitely has a trumpet solo and a horn section in this version, but it seems like it was just added on to the existing version of the song. It doesn't seem like a different take. Still, interesting to hear.

Def horns added or horn version...seemed a bit slower too, w/ long build-up to first vocal. Also maybe more contrast b/w Tom's voicing on verse & chorus (where it drops to a low growl singing the title phrase)? But maybe I just haven't listened to orig in awhile... At any rate, during credits it does mention "original version on the album 'Real Gone'...

Very cool movie, though def bittersweet knowing that it was PSH's last....
