Kirsty MacColl's original version of They Don't Know. 

Lurve this song. I think I prefer Tracey Ullman sweetened-up voice on this.  It's also the version I first knew.
I'd never heard the Kirsty version. Had no idea it existed.

I heard Tracey's version first too, and I think just judging the two versions against one another with all else equal, I agree with you. The later version has all those chimes and shimmering Spector-esque production things, so it really sounds awesome. (It's one of those songs I can just listen to over and over and over. Total ear candy.)

That said, I can't help but love the version we heard today too, knowing what I know now about Kirstie and how she came to an end.

Sodden thought: Has AL ever played Kirstie's "In These Shoes?"? That would certainly liven up a 2000 set.

right, lush production. The bells, the epic sound.  I'm trying to think of Tracey's version, but the Clash are on 10at10 (Rudy Can't Fail) and I can't ignore music entering my ears for music I would otherwise like to play in my head.  Anyway, I think Tracey features a lot of backing vox, too.
