This entertaining collection of lovers rock singer John Holt`s late-1960s recordings spans the ephemeral pop of "OK Fred" and the social commentary of "Change Your Style"--neither of which particularly suit Holt`s sophisticated, nuanced vocal abilities--and his masterful covers of the Neil Diamond-penned "Holly Holy" and "Soolaiman." In between there are early lovers rock experiments like "Have You Ever Been in Love," "Darling I Need Your Loving," and "Stranger in Love." Though Holt`s major successes wouldn`t come until the early `70s, this set reveals the roots of one of Jamaican music`s biggest stars.
