A is okay, but the lunkheaded "C I D...C I D" backing vocals in the choruses turns me off. Too stupid, man.
I don't really give a shit about UB40, but this is a decent enough tune.

I knew A from long ago and didn’t expect to enjoy it this time. But no - it sounds great and fresh from the swamp. I liked it so much I listened to I Live in a Car too! I’ve always found B a bit dreary.

Didn't like either of them but there's no way I would ever vote for UB40. This track is probably their best single but it's still dreary.

I have that CID single, bought it from a bloke at work - the only Subs single I won. Charlie was the heart and soul of the band, but also its weak link - the band had a great sound, a cut above a lot of the other bands with whom they are usually lumped, such as the Lurkers and Vibrators.
I agree that UB40 probably never surpassed this track, but that's just a commentary on the cesspool full of vomit that was their recording career. Down there with the Barron Knights as the worst inexplicably popular British group ever
A, easily.

UK Subs
Nicely thuggish but I think Charlie Harper must be on the paste iif he thinks undercover CID are toting .44’s on the mean streets of Soho. God can you remember the interminable Charlie Harper takes a piss thread on BCB. Hilarious.
UB40
There wasn’t an interminable “Ali Campbell takes a piss” thread on BCB.
