Fantastic, Global.

I noticed that Monty Norman died this week, credited with writing the James Bond theme - I love Roland Alphonso's ska take on it.

This is a wonderful version, much punchier and raucous than the one I have heard before....

The film, 'The Harder they Come', is 50 years old -

- and it's being re-released in the cinemas this week.

The Harder They Come review – Jimmy Cliff falls hard in visceral revenge western

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/aug/03/the-harder-they-come-review-jimmy-cliff-falls-hard-in-visceral-revenge-western

Fifty years on, this crime drama of a headstrong singer shooting for his chance of success is as raw and energetic as its reggae soundtrack

Did any film have a greater soundtrack? On Friday evening on BBC Radio 4 Ellen Jones and Mark Kermode discuss the impact of the film on 'Screenshot' with Don Letts among others.

BBC Radio 4 - Screenshot, The Harder They Come at 50

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0019rs9

Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode revisit The Harder They Come on its 50th anniversary.

Meanwhile the title track sounds as wonderful today as it did way back when.

Here's a great wee tune for a Caribbean Thursday. I found an old Charlie Gillett compilation CD in one of the boxes and came upon this track from the turn of the millennium by Nava from Puerto Rico. It had slipped my mind and I really enjoyed finding it again. Great brass on it. 'La Vaquita' (Cowgirl, I think, which probably explains some of the moos in there.

)

That looks a cracking CD, you picked a good track there though, just moves along in a relaxed way with soothing brass and the odd calming moo.
