Further Details Title: On The Beach (With The Paragons) Condition: New Format: Vinyl EAN: 5060767442036 Edition: 12" Album Genre: Rock Release Date: 01/04/2025 Description: EDITORIAL REVIEWS - A Treasure Isle "treasure!"- Features the original 1967 recording of 'The Tide Is High' taken to international stardom in 1980 by Blondie - A feel-good party album drenched in soulful harmonies set to a rocksteady beat - 140g black vinyl - High-gloss printed outer sleeve- A joy from start to finish... "see you on the beach!".This classic Jamaican party album was recorded in 1967on Duke "the Trojan"Reid's Treasure Isle label. It sold well locally and saw a UK release where it was a hit on the hugely popular ska and soul scene. It pre-dates the reggae boom and defines the short-lived rocksteady era fusing down beat ska with doo-wop and angst-drenched soulful vocals.The Paragons, featuring the signature vocals of lead singer John Holt, have been compared to a laid-back Four Tops with a tinge of Beach Boys thrown in. Whatever your view there is certainly an R&B flavour in the vocal harmonies and it's easy to see why this sought-after album is at the foundation of any Northern Soul or reggae collection.The soulfulness of The Paragons is no more apparent on Harry Belafonte's classic 'Island In The Sun', 'Happy-Go-Lucky Girl,' 'Only a Smile' and their original feel-good recording of 'The Tide Is High' which became an international hit for Blondie in 1980.A fabulous rocksteady record underpinned by the super-tight session band Tommy McCook and The Supersonics.

  1. I've ordered from Rarewaves here in the US and the UK multiple times, and continue to do so. They always seem to have something I can't find anywhere else at all or for a reasonable price. When I purchase used items, they are as described, if not a grade better. Aways a quick turnaround after ordering, every item arrives promptly, professionally packaged. Many orders have free shipping, even for solitary item orders. I never needed a reason to communicate, as I've had no cause. Recommended.

  2. Item arrived still wrapped as advertised but it must have taken some damage in transit since it arrived with a couple cracks and a small chunk of the frame of the case had completely detached. BUT the discs were still undamaged so I messaged the seller to tell them I was still going to keep the item I just wanted to let them know about the issue and they messaged me back and offered me 20% off the order to make up for the inconvenience. Great seller. Would purchase from them again.

  3. The book was brand still plastic wrapped. Looks exactly like the picture for a reasonable price including shipping. In perfect condition. Shipping was slow and I was worried that I was scammed again. Seller did respond to my message after a day and explained the item would be shipped within a week. The item shipping and tracking was updated by the date they stated. Took about 2 weeks to receive item. I’m usually impressed when item is shipped and received within a week.
