Marian (Version) is noted as such on official releases like First And Last And Always as much as on many bootlegs.

However, there is only one version of the song.

Quote from The Sisters Official Site (FAQs of the slightly less boring kind)

Why is 'Marian (version)' called 'Marian (version)'? Is there another one?
There is no other version of 'Marian'. Traditionally, reggae instrumentals were called 'Songname - version', to denote the fact that there's no singing.
'Marian (version)' is simply a reference to the record company's complaint that the vocals on 'Marian' are far too quiet.
