5 out of 5 stars An early reggae gem.One of the best rock soundtracks   May 8, 1999
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This is an early(pre-Marley's invasion)sampler of superb reggae music.This is primarily a Jimmy Cliff vehicle-the catchy title track,the oft covered and touching Many Rivers to Cross, the superb Sitting in Limbo.The album is beautifully rounded off with the excellent contributions of Desmond Dekker,The Maytals,The Melodians... An underrated classic.


5 out of 5 stars A Classic   April 28, 1999
 6 out of 7 found this review helpful

This is the original soundtrack to the film "The Harder They Come". It is essential reggae. The title track, "You Can Get It If You Really Want" and "Many Rivers to Cross" are Jimmy Cliff at his best. Add Toots and the Maytals ("Pressure Drop" & "Sweet and Dandy"), The Slickers ("Johnny Too Bad"), Desmond Dekker ("Shanty Town") and The Melodians ("Rivers of Babylon") to the mix and you have a classic. If you are -- or want to be -- a reggae fan, you must have this CD. This IS NOT the reissue of anything Bob Marley did, but that simply doesn't matter.


5 out of 5 stars Possibly the best record album ever   October 3, 1998
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

There is an incredible amount of consistency and coherency in this album, it's a narrative rather than just a collection of songs. I mostly listen to punk rock and rockabilly, but I just can't stop playing this. And just so you know, many of the songs here are actually ska and rocksteady, rather than reggae.


5 out of 5 stars classic reggae from the movie of the same name; a must-have   September 13, 1998

this CD reissue of the classic Bob Marley soundtrack is a must-have for Reggae fans and the place to start for any music-lovers who have yet to become acquainted with Jamaican music
