{"product_id":"johnny-nash-hold-me-tight-lp-7172026","title":"Johnny Nash - Hold Me Tight - LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohnny Nash’s 1968 album Hold Me Tight stands out for its blend of soul and early reggae influences, underscored by his role as co-founder of JAD Records, a label dedicated to promoting Jamaican music. The record features the title track “Hold Me Tight,” which climbed to number one in Canada and secured top-five spots in both the U.S. and UK, alongside “Cupid,” another charting single. Notably, the album includes “You Got Soul,” co-written by Peter Tosh of The Wailers, and a smooth cover of “Groovin,” originally by The Rascals, illustrating Nash’s ability to bridge American soul with Caribbean rhythms. It’s a snapshot of a musical cross-pollination that quietly shaped late ’60s pop. This pressing from 1968 offers a glossy vinyl experience with only minor surface marks typical of gentle use, rated \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/blogs\/news\/how-we-grade-vinyl-records-at-the-den\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eVG++\u003c\/a\u003e. The album’s nine tracks unfold over a single LP, making it a straightforward addition for those interested in Nash’s early crossover work or the roots of reggae’s influence on mainstream music. If you’re wondering where to shelve a record that’s at once pop, soul, and a touch of island breeze, Hold Me Tight might just rewrite your filing system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003csection data-track-listing=\"true\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTrack listing \u0026amp; samples\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohnny Nash - Hold Me Tight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHold Me Tight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Look Back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople In Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGroovin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCupid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLovey Dovey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Got To Change Your Ways\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Got Soul\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Cry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embeds\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?list=PLItKCkH7m74UwaJ1mo83FUbVLsgCEptVa\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Den Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"VG++ \/ VG (paper loss on cover) \/ 1968","offer_id":53559082189116,"sku":"12917996463705","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/9932\/2684\/files\/LTYyODQuanBlZw.jpg?v=1784306091","url":"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/products\/johnny-nash-hold-me-tight-lp-7172026","provider":"The Den New Hope PA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
