Music query

Feeling skeevy about my music sharing place, but not, apparently, skeevy enough to move. Yet. So, anybody out there who's bored and feels like listening to choral music, could you take a listen at these two versions of the same song? It's Blake's Jerusalem, and I can't figure out which version I want to keep. The version I really like is from the Chariots of Fire soundtrack, but it has weird Vangelis-timpani-cowbell stuff at the beginning, so I can't use that.
Jerusalem
Jerusalem
ETA: OMFG I am too stupid to live some days.
After three people commented that both versions sounded very similar, I took a closer look and discovered why. I had two versions; only linked to one. Twice.

I have both linked to now. Aaaaaaaaaaaarg.

In case anybody's still speaking to me after me wasting their time with this, here are both versions (for real this time):
Jerusalem 1 (http://www.4shared.com/file/82332448/1303adf6/DVD3_Jerusalem_1.html)
Jerusalem 2 (http://www.4shared.com/file/82332556/ec62db87/DVD3_Jerusalem_2.html)

Thank you! I loved the song when I was a kid, as it was part of Chariots of Fire and that was one of my fave movies ever, but really fell in love with it this year when we sang it in our first rehearsal for Last Night of the Proms. It's just so very British.

Also, the sound on it second is generally clearer. The first is slightly muddy (whether from venue or sound board/mixing).
Don't fuss over the mix up. I manage to be distracted enough to do that sort of thing way to frequently.
