#174 Jimmy Cliff and Various Artists, 'The Harder They Come: Original Soundtrack' (1972)

‘The Harder They Come’ was a film that has been hailed as "possibly the most influential of Jamaican films and one of the most important films from the Caribbean". A crime film starring Jimmy Cliff, its soundtrack was even more influential than the film itself. It’s a compilation of Reggae tracks released between 1967 and 1972, with only the title track having been specifically recorded for the album. So what makes this album so great? Well, this is the record that introduced Reggae to the world.
