HARDER ROAD TO TRAVEL: COLLECTION IN THANE

2010 two CD compilation, the most comprehensive collection to date of Cliff's early work. This double disc release is the first time his Trojan and Island repertoire has been compiled together. Quite simply, Jimmy Cliff is a legend. The Grammy winning singer/songwriter-come-actor made his recording debut as a teenager almost five decades ago, when he cut the first in a series of best selling Ska titles in his native Jamaica. This collection draws together the best of Jimmy Cliff's work cut in the years immediately before and after his move to Britain. Included are a slew of Ska, Soul, Pop and Reggae sides, including all his UK and US hits from the period, along with a number of sides that make their CD debut, most notably the previously unissued 'A Little Bit of Soap'. The net result is the most comprehensive collection to date of the versatile singer's early, and arguably best, recordings.
