    You know how they repeat "You Can Get It If You Really Want" and "The Harder They Come" at the end of the album (track #'s 11 & 12)? They sound a lot worse on these repeat tracks than they do when you first hear them at the beginning and at track 6.
    A few things are a bit different, too: running time as well as a some things in the mix (the horns at the beginning of "You Can Get It" come through both channels on the repeat track). Does anyone know what the deal is with these repeat tracks? Are they different mixes, dubs, etc.?

    I haven't seen the movie in 20 years, but I think that both versions of those songs were used in the move in various places, which is why they are on the album.

    Personally, I wish they would have added some different tracks, but even as it is now it's a magical album. I still play it once a week!

    The album that changed my life and in particular introduced me to Toots. I've since seen Toots performing in Montreaux, The Netherlands and in Sydney!

    "Rockers" is the next greatest reggae soundtrack.
