Meanwhile, the Crap Cutters have put out a version too. Plus just about everything else from CtC, including Play To Win.

Nice. I like what they have done. Shame they chose "The Crap Cutters" as their name though. Surely they could've come up with something a little more inspiring.

Is this the song that was called Rock N Roll City on the November 83 demos? They sound very similar

Yes but "Rock n Roll City" was never the title. It was made up by Inder I think as a guess at the title when he got the demos way back when.

Rock n roll City is a fine Strummer title.
