Gerry, what's your opinion on "Witness"? I really like that album although "Spooky Two" and "You Broke my Heart " are favorites also.. Great band excellant...
Hi Kevin. Though I'm not Gerry. I thought both 1973's Witness and You Broke My Heart ... were ST's best. Better songs, better production, etc. Mick Jones'...

If you haven't already, be sure to pick up the Repertoire reissues -- plenty of extra tracks, photos and thoughtful essays. They've done the other 5, so I hope...
