Always thought SLF - Jonny Was , was written by them , I’ve just played Bob Marley’s original . It’s not a patch on Stiff Little Fingers version . PS still love Bob though

I prefer the live version of smoke to the studio one (more meat to the riff) but I'm not too concerned about comparisons to studio versions as to whether they are great live albums.
