On The Beach Riddim – Various Labels

On The Beach produced by Duke Reid, Clive Chin, Bunny Striker Lee for Treasure Isle, Leo, Striker Lee, Weed Beat, Magnum, Sonic in 1977

Built around the classic On The Beach cut, this 1977 Various Labels compilation pulls together roots from Duke Reid, Clive Chin, and Bunny Striker Lee sides for Treasure Isle, Leo, Striker Lee, Weed Beat, Magnum, and Sonic. John Holt and Johnny Clarke anchor the set, with early versions from The Paragons and U Roy tying it back to the original rocksteady era, while Trinity’s Jumpers Blues adds a sharper deejay touch. The title song was one of John Holt’s signature moments with The Paragons, and the line-up shows how the same melody kept moving through Jamaican music across different labels and generations.
