The Paragons - The Paragons

Unavailable in any format since 1981!

180-gram vinyl features "Happy Go Lucky Girl" and "The Tide Is High"

Featuring John Holt, Garth Tyrone Evans and Howard Barrett, the Paragons became one of Jamaica's most popular acts during Rock Steady era of the late '60s, during which time they recorded such notable hits as "Wear You To The Ball," "Happy Go Lucky Girl," "On The Beach," "Only A Smile" and their most celebrated song, "The Tide Is High."

By the early '70s, the group had disbanded, but Blondie's hit version of the latter led to their reunion in 1981, resulting in the trio recording updated versions of all their classic '60s sides for US-based DJ-come-producer, Lister Hewan-Lowe. Unavailable in any format since 1981, the sought-after LP is now at long-last obtainable to fans of the group and the classic Lovers style.
