There are some interesting cover versions. (I heard the Stones’ version first, simply because *Black and Blue* was the easiest place to access the song.) I’m partial to “Well Dread Version 3,” the slightly trippy instrumental version by Addis Ababa Children (which appeared on Lee Perry’s album *Africa’s Blood*): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Do47RMq1IcY
Nice to hear the original! Always heard the UB40 cover growing up and didn’t realise it was a cover. Great song
What a great reggae song! One of the best.
