Again the algorithm threw this one at me so, like I do, I went searching for the FULL live version. . . . . I couldn’t find it! I found more . . . . . .nearly twice as much but not the complete live recording from 1983 st the SF Boarding House so to make up for it found other versions including the original from the soundtrack of the Legendary film The Harder They Come, The soundtrack was for years the only version the UK could have of this fine fine film but it has been seen now and frankly the soundtrack still stands and possibly is still MILES above the importance of the actual Film for introducing us to certain artists from Jimmy Cliff to The Slickers whose song this is! [printed on the single label as Slicker!]
