Re: John Holt
A lot of (great) covers, including the title track. Worth buying it ! Only track missing is the Channel One recut of "Satisfaction" (available on Reggae Anthology-Channel One).

Re: John Holt
it's allright, certainly not his best work. but enjoyable still. rather straight forward revolutionairies covers of mainly studio one songs,his version of DEB's Stay At Home, the rockers remake of have you ever been in love and offcourse Up Park camp stand out

Re: John Holt
Can't go wrong with any classic Channel One riddims and of course John's sweet voice, but of course I guess it wouldn't be considered his best by many!

Re: John Holt
Up Park Camp is one of his best songs, though.

Re: John Holt
The originator is Winston Jarrett. According to the "Survival is the game" compilation, the song is from 1969, which to me seems too early (the story with the penitentiary indicates that it dates probably from around '74 or '75).
Holt's version must have been recorded around '77.

Re: John Holt
OK all. Months after I realize that "Up Park Camp" LP is in fact is easy to find by targeting "Roots Of Holt" LP, which is more or less the same LP (Trojan)

Re: John Holt
That is a good question! Just realized that i don't have much Holt.. I love all his Paragons stuff, but his solo work is always on a thin line between great and cheesy.Vlad wrote:Re activating this thread with the question :

I like the "Up Park Camp" LP and "Police In Helicopters". There's also a great John Holt at Studio 1 Compilation by Heartbeat (though not just solo-stuff).
What i really don't like (and i tried several times) is the "... Volt Of Holt" series.
So - what about the others?
