Synopsis

Album Description
Originally released towards the close of 1973, ?1,000 Volts Of Holt? is one of the best-selling Reggae albums of all time. Combining the rhythms of urban Jamaica with sophisticated Pop arrangements, the LP successfully transformed Holt into a mainstream artist, with the singer?s rendering of Kris Kristofferson?s "Help Me Make It Through The Night" (taken from the album) peaking at number six in the Pop listings. Over a year later, ?1,000 Volts? finally made it into the British album charts, peaking at #42 in February 1975, although had it not been for the unregulated nature of Reggae music sales in the UK, the LP would have undoubtedly have made the top ten.
