John Holt: Looking Back: The Definitive Collection (TJDDD267)

This is a pretty immense collection spanning from 1963 and the Paragons material through to 1985. Not only is this is a selection of the best material it all hangs together beautifully as John eases through in his own inimitable style, through all the styles and eras.

One of those albums that if the mood is right you just put it on and relax all the wy through it  - Everyone doubtless will have their own favourites so not much point in throwing mine it.  Just a voice that puts you at ease with the world.

John Holt: Looking Back: The Definitive Collection (TJDDD267)

Whilst previous John Holt compilations were only able to focus upon certain aspects of his incredible career; the vast amount of material available in the Trojan and Creole catalogues has enabled Sanctuary to put together a truly definitive collection; including all of the singer's most popular recordings; from his earliest works right up to his last major Reggae hit; Wildfire; cut with Dennis Brown during the height of the Dancehall era.
