Garage Rock Classics: Dirty Water
The Apollos, from Falls Church, VA, recorded Dirty Water shortly after The Standells did for a battle of the bands against San Antonio's Outcasts and Long Island's Stingrays. Britain's Inmates remade the song in 1979, changing the location to London and the river to the Thames.
Has this song ever been recorded by a Boston band?

Are there any other versions?

In the late 70s a Boston band called "The Lyres" did a cover of Dirty Water on their LP "Lyres on Fire".

Boston band Dropkick Murphys recorded it (on their Live on St Patrick's Day album). Plus, I have a cover by Belgian band De Kreuners, in Dutch, called Vuil Water. I've emailed that one to you.
