This looks like ALL reggae songs, then.  Not really to my taste.  I've heard
of a few of the artists, but the only song that I recognise here is "In The
Ghetto".  But I could imagine that, in the context of the film, the songs
would work well and sound good.

Doesn't seem to be any plans to release this soundtrack on CD anytime soon.

No music by Roger then, which is probably just as well.  A Daltrey song on
this soundtrack would stick out like Pete's thumb at the end of a world
tour.
