I am not a reggae fan, but when I read that a reggae version was done, I realized the structure of the song lends itself to reggae. Unfortunately, I wasn’t impressed with “Dirty Heads” take on it. For one thing it is not a straight reggae treatment, it sounds like there’s a quasi-rap thing going on within it. Too bad, because a straight reggae treatment would work better, and the lyrics hold up well 40+ years later.

...there’s also an annoying whine to their voices and tinniness in the recording.
