"The Paragons were originally called The Binders, a band that comprised Keith Anderson (better known as Bob Andy), Garth Evans (aka Tyrone Evans), Junior Menz, and Leroy Stamp. In 1964 John Holt and Howard Barrett replaced Menz, and Stamp and the name was changed to The Paragons. Anderson left in 1965, and The Paragons continued as a trio. After John Holt left to pursue a solo career, Vic Taylor took Holt's place. The trio initially recorded two outstanding albums, including the legendary
On The Beach
. In 1980 Blondie covered their song 'The Tide Is High' with great international success. Today,
On The Beach
is considered to be the definitive rocksteady LP. Presented here, two selections from the
On The Beach
full-length, the gorgeous and haunting 'When The Lights Are Low' on the A-side. A Rocksteady masterpiece that totally deserves being released as a single at last. On the B-side, a cover of a lesser known but fine Beatles song 'I'll Be Back' featured on the Beatles '65 album. Though this gem sounds 100% like a Paragons song through and through, with gorgeous harmonies being served on an upbeat Rocksteady rhythm, complete with thumping bass and powerful horns. Brilliant."
