Trojan Ska Box Set

Search: The Tide Is High - The Paragons
by: Various Artists

Release Date July 04, 1996
3 CDs of absolute classic ska. With the sheer volume of tracks this set provides, its a bargain. This is the real deal.A good cross section of Jamaican ska, with some tracks better known than others (perhaps) but don't let that put you off. If you have only heard the tracks that have also appeared on other ska compilations & you liked them, then the rest of this collection is a must.
This is a really expansive collection of quality ska music & Trojan have done a great job in selecting the tracks for this set.If you enjoy this , then the Rude Boy box set is also worth a punt.

The Reggae Love Collection

Search: The Tide Is High - The Paragons
by: Various Artists

Release Date February 26, 2008
The time for these tunes to be on top of the pops may have past, but they are STILL danefloor hits!
Ever wondered whatever happened to Susan Cadogan, Ken Boothe or The Parogans? Well, they're right here, and they would be coming out YOUR speakers if you bough this CD...
The "Hurts So Good" is produced by the Legendary 'Scratch' Perry, and still rocks. Ken Boothe's 'Tide Is High' shows the male point of view of Atomic Kitten's single, and the Parogans still sound like they could rock it out with the best of 'em!!!

And This Is A SKA Explosion

Search: The Tide Is High - The Paragons
by: Various Artists

Release Date March 19, 2007
I couldn't give this five stars, because there are a few dud tracks on there. But at the price it is well worth the money, because there are loads of great tunes. In fact it is worth the cash just to get a copy of 'Rukumbine'. There is a groovy ska version of the James Bond theme, and a couple of minor key instrumental grooves that really get you dancing. Also 'A little oil in my lamp' is a great singalong ska version of a traditional song, with a gospel feel to it.

I don't know why they chose to start the CD with the Prince Buster tune which is more of a reggae style and not like the rest at all (although it's not a bad tune).
