Notes
The classic ska/reggae soundtrack to the cult Jamaican movie The Harder They Come starring Jimmy Cliff and directed by Perry Henzell.
The Harder They Come (1972) was the first movie to come out of Jamaica and tells the (apparently true) story of Ivan Martin, a poor boy from the country that comes to the city to make it as a reggae singer. He soon finds that it's not as easy as he thought and ends taking the route of the 'rude boy' after being taken advantage of by both a record producer and the marijuana boss he later starts dealing for.
The Harder They Come soundtrack and the film introduced the world to the classic reggae anthems You Can get it if you Really Want and Many Rivers to Cross - both written by Cliff. A fantastic CD!
