Thank you!

Boths classic recordings.
I like them boths.
Johnny is great Bunny Lee production what more can i say.
John Holt is Harry Muddie production ina lovers style with some strings.

The Johnny Clarke LP is real quality. But for me, below is the best of JCs earlier work and is sadly often overlooked for better known titles. I have the Justice pressing and it is more high quality Bunny Lee music and this version is on high quality vinyl.

Don't confuse it with a recent compilation that uses the same artwork.


But I don't have the John Holt one, I've struggled to really get into his stuff, maybe I need another try there.

Leggo I recomend John Holts - Up park camp LP ...thats one of the only ones i have of his, though "time is the master" is the one song i burned before i sold the vinyl to a friend.

JC is one of my favorite vocalists, he still sounds good till this day.

I did have 1000 volts of Holt on a CD. But I sold it on ebay.

That speaks volumes as I am always reluctant to sell any of my reggae.

Maybe I didn't give it a fair hearing. Or maybe that work isn't his best?

But I welcome your comments and recommendations so I may try some more cuts by JH.

But with Johnnie Clarke I collect all I can find and haven't been unhappy with anything by him so far.

thats why i man say check " up park camp LP " it dread.

i like / have the JC album [killa selektion]

the john holt album is mellow for the more laid back movements.
