Yeah, SMS is a really weird thing to sleep on, even by John and Paul's standards for George. I like "Savoy Truffle" a lot but no way is it a better song. I actually like the demo better than Lomax's though - the latter is a little slower and his throatier vocal suppresses what in hindsight seems like an almost proto-Bolan number lurking somewhere in Harrison's thin little vocal. I do like the shambley looseness of the instrumental track on its own though!
Inevitably, someone's combined the two tracks, which gets us sorta close to what a White Album "Sour Milk Sea" would have sounded like, since it's the Beatles playing on Lomax's version anyway. Obviously the vocals would have been more developed, hopefully without losing the charm of the demo.

Let me think of that song:
"Get out of sour milk sea..Get back to where you used to be"
Hmmm, I wonder...
