The Harder They Come is the soundtrack album to the film of the same name, released in 1972 in the United Kingdom as Island Records ILPS 9202. It was issued in February 1973 in North America as Mango Records SMAS-7400. It peaked at on the Billboard 200. The heart of the soundtrack comes from performances by the film's star, reggae singer Jimmy Cliff. Only the title track "The Harder They Come" was recorded by Cliff specifically for the soundtrack, with three earlier songs by Cliff added

Jimmy Cliff is both the star of the movie and the headliner on the soundtrack. He contributes three excellent songs: the hymnal "Many Rivers to Cross," "You Can Get It If You Really Want," and "The Harder They Come" (the latter two are repeated at the end of the album, but you probably wanted to hear them again anyway). Interestingly, the better production values of his songs actually seems to detract from them when compared to the rougher, but less sanitized, mixes of the other tracks.

Talk about Various - The Harder They Come (Original Soundtrack Recording)


Mezilabar
Great sound on this LP...good pressing! Worth every penny.
Leceri
Is there a difference in sound of the Jamaican version vs the UK version?
Reemiel
The early 1970s were a significant time in the history of Jamaican music. The music of Ska, from the 1960s, had morphed first in the direction of Rock Steady, and then into Reggae. Standout stars at that time were Desmond Dekker & The Aces, Toots & The Maytals (both represented on this soundtrack), and the Wailers who, at the time of this film's release, were seeing founding members Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer leaving the band for solo careers. That left Bob Marley and their stellar back-up band to further the Reggae music gospel. With the help of Johnny Nash's crossover smash "I Can See Clearly Now" (later covered by Jimmy Cliff for the movie "Cool Runnings"), and Brits like Paul McCartney (covering "Love Is Strange") and Eric Clapton (with his hit cover of the Wailers' "I Shot The Sheriff"), the movie The Harder They Come capitalised on Euro-American interest in this fresh music form. The soundtrack contains the title hit, performed by its star, Reggae great Jimmy Cliff, and several needle drop hits by him and other Reggae and Jamaican pop stars. This soundtrack, along with the mid-60s compilation "The Real Jamaica Ska", comprise a perfect primer for neophyte fans of the early years of this incredible genre.As for the film, a country boy comes to the city to find fame and fortune as a singer, and gets into trouble. One of the most prolific of Jamaican-based and -produced movies, it makes stark commentaries on Jamaican society, music industry corruption, and the negative cultural/positive musical influence of the US on the "third world".
Marad
Which lp has the purest sound, the Jamacian version in which these songs were originally recorded or the Uk recordings?
Wizard
This album is worth the price just for Johnny Too Bad by The Slickers!
Lestony
Mine is dated 1972. Runout Has same numbers as other issues from 1972, but includes circle with drumsticks etching.
Zehaffy
Hi Alli am just chasing a better cover if someone has a trashed vinyl but good cover.Trent
ℳy★†ỦrÑ★ Wiℓℒ★₡oℳ€★TøØ
Best available copy of a classic. Dat gatefold O_O
Modimeena
Not a great pressing lots of defects plays ok but bit ruff, a friend got me this from new york could be bootleg but not sure
Kefrannan
This seminal release is the ultimate rock steady complilation album and from a movie soundtrack to boot! It showcases the versatility of Jamaica's top artists, and their penchant for recombining instrumental music beds with new vocals or toasting. "Draw your Brakes" was originally a music bed by Derrick Harriot with vocalists Keith and Tex singing "Stop that Train." Scotty toasts his laments over this creating a classic that will get stuck in your head forever. "Pressure Drop" introduces the world to Fredrick Hibbert's (Toots) huge voice, which matches the best American R&B has to offer. The Slickers , long dead or jailed at release time offer a treat not to be missed with "Johnny too Bad". The Rastafarian hymn, "By the Rivers of Babylon" sung by the Melodians, rounds out this sampler of the best of late 60s, early 70s reggae.
Fordrellador
What a album ! Listen to the title track "The Harder They Come" this guy is singing from the bottom of his soul. It's totally infectious and you will find yourself singing it all day. "You Can Get It If You Really Want" & "Many Rivers to cross" also are tracks from the heart, the way all music should be. If you can, see the film which stars Jimmy Cliff in the lead role and has this album as the soundtrack. Reggae music at it's best.
