1000 Volts of Holt

Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition of this classic Reggae album. Widely regarded as the greatest Pop-Reggae album of all time, 1,000 Volts combined the rhythms of the Jamaican ghetto with sophisticated western arrangements and by so doing successfully transformed John Holt into a mainstream artist. Soon after its release, the singer's rendering of Kris Kristofferson's `Help Me Make It Through The Night' peaked at #6 in the Pop listings, while a year and thousands of sales later, the LP finally made it into the British album charts, a Top 10 position denied only by the unregulated nature of Reggae music sales in the UK. In addition to containing the original 12 album tracks, this double disc edition features many of their respective Jamaican mixes along with numerous previously unreleased recordings intended for a follow-up collection.
