Damned, why not my idea? But I like booth songs. I still can remember as I put the needle on the record, a reggae doüble album from a second hand recordshop, just bought. It was in spring 1981. I was knowing the Clashversion and than the voice of Junior Murvin. Needed some years to like the original.

But hey, I think the Clash version of "Police on my back" is better than the original.

I was fortunate to score some Bonnie Rait tix last summer and saw her from the front row-dead center. Lucky me..she did a renditon of Jerry Rafferty's "Right Down the Line" which surprised the hell out of me, an old Rafferty fan. It is on her new CD that is highly recommended by me. ..peace..DD
