I bought the songbook when it was released (which is a long time ago 
) and started playing Fair wethered Friends which I think sounds great! I moved on to The Marching Line that I used to play with C. Benitez's sheets and I found out the songbook version is way more complicated! I was wondering if they (Vanessa and the guy who helped her transcribe) tried to make the songs more difficult (since TML is pretty basic at least I thought it was?). Can somebody please tell me which versions i should play to get the notes like V plays them on the record 
I'm not that good at reading musics so it usually takes me a few hours of practice before I get the song right, don't wanna waste it if I can play an easiest version that will actually be closer to what V does. Thanks! 
Hello!
I haven't seen the songbook version of TML, since I live from far and buying one and importing it would be quite expensive (tragic, I know). But from what I usually see in official songbooks, most of the transcription incorporate the melody in the right hand, which is unfaithful to how the artist do it.
On the other hand, I do the sheet music based on how I hear V plays it either in record or live. It would be biased for me to say to pick my sheets, although basing from what you wrote, I think I got the simpler transcription which would help you to understand the basic concepts in playing the song.
But playing the songbook version is also fun! If you managed to learn the basic patterns from my sheet, maybe you could add a little twist to what you have learned by trying to read the one in the songbook too
