Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Hot Shots Of Reggae is a recording on which a bunch of popular reggae songs are brought together. The album was originally released in the autumn of 1970 and compiled by the legendary Chinese-Jamaican producer Leslie Kong. He had enjoyed many hits in in Europe and selected some of the true pearls from the reggae music to shine on the album. The album includes the Maytals' hit 'Monkey Man', the sparkling 'So Much Love' by Joe White and the fine rhythms of Ken Boothe's 'Freedom Street'. The influential producer Leslie Kong once discovered Jimmy Cliff and recorded him on his own record label Beverley's. In 1962, he recorded Bob Marley's first single and through the '60s he became known as the producer of many big artists, like Desmond Dekker and Joe Higgs.
