Was this recorded after The Clash had gained some traction in their career? Because I remember reading the book Redemption Song: The Ballad of Joe Strummer and it was mentioned that when The Clash was starting to become successful (and thus those in the band had some money to play with) that Strummer used some of his cash to produce a proper 101'ers album (as well as some rare free time to stage a brief live reunion). I know this version has much stronger background vocals than the version I heard off of the soundtrack to the Strummer documentary The Future is Unwritten which I assume was probably a demo.
Speaking of 101'ers songs. Here's a Clash song that started it's life as part of the 101'ers live set that Mick Jones liked from when he saw the band and encouraged Joe Strummer to re-record with different lyrics after he joined The Clash

Yes, that version of Keys to Your Heart is from Elgin Avenue Breakdown, the expanded compilation album that Strummer had put together in the early 80s. I think it's basically perfection, and I may have listened to the first 45 seconds 500 times in the past month.

I've researched more, and can now correct myself. That version is from the 2000s expanded reissue, Elgin Avenue Breakdown Revisited, but was a rerecording from 1976, done at a BBC studio.
