EditorialReview: Jamaican filmmaker Perry Henzell made reggae an integral player in The Harder They Come, his gritty 1973 saga of a renegade Kingston singer who becomes a modern Robin Hood, casting one of the style's earliest stars, Jimmy Cliff, in the lead, and filling this soundtrack--here presented in a remastered version--with classics from Toots & the Maytals ("Pressure Drop", "Sweet and Dandy"), Desmond Dekker ("Shanty Town"), the Melodians ("Rivers of Babylon"), and the Slickers ("Johnny Too Bad"). Cliff himself gets pole position, however, getting in the first ("You Can Get It If You Really Want") and last ("The Harder They Come") words in this first-rate reggae primer, which also features Cliff's enduring "Many Rivers to Cross". --Sam Sutherland

Review Summary: Reggae-tastic!!
Review Content: This is a brilliant introduction for anyone who thinks Jamaican music begins and ends with Bob Marley. From the ska of Desmond Dekker ("Shanty Town") and The Maytals ("Pressure Drop" - later covered with less success by The Clash) to the more soulful efforts of the magnificent Jimmy Cliff (his three most classic tunes are included here, two of them twice for some reason), there isn't a dud track on offer. Possibly the finest reggae album of all time.

Review Summary: You will be singing the songs for weeks
Review Content: This is the original sound track to the movie and is well worth listening to. You will know most of the songs already and won't be able to stop singing them. Jimmy Cliff really was a talented man and this CD is definately worth the money. It is no longer available in UK shops
