stumbling block

is that the same song played by Martin Campbell?

I found the 12" vinyl album of ROCKERS in Tuff GONG Record shop....it was same price as the rest, 3 dollars US~
I have the ROCKERS video on my myspace page. Funny most Jamaicans have never seen or heard of the movie...go figure....

We A Rockers!!! Yah mon!!!

uh, I see, F-fred...

Rootsgal--I always wondered if movies like Rockers and Countryman were shown much in JA. Pretty much assumed The Harder They Come was, but it sounds like that's not true for the rest.

As to the Dillinger track, it's been a long time since I last saw the movie, but I think I remember it. Just checked my copy of the soundtrack album

and it isn't there. Is there another release of the soundtrack I don't know about? Wouldn't be surprising.

The song is called cool operator

Stambling block was done by JahThomas/Big Joe .I like it

I carry the DVD every trip and loan it to people to watch....they love it and want a copy. I like the tune Burning Spear sings by the seaside accapella....forgot the name of it at this time. Spear looks about 20 years old in that movie. Only recognised him from his voice~

No, dubaddikt, its called Stumbling Block an nothing else, came upon the Black & White label
