Welcome to another edition of Miss Upsetter’s Retro Vinyl Review!  Miss Upsetter is originally from Arizona where she was very involved with the ska scene and used to run the now-defunct ska site Get Up Edina! Being the vinyl junkie that she is, she posted many quick-hit reviews of some classic ska and reggae albums on that site.  We have unearthed these reviews and will share as many as we can for a somewhat daily review segment.

Today’s review is of the album My Best Girl Wears My Crown by The Paragons (Trojan):

I lucked out on this album and found it for a buck.  Most definitely worth it!  A compilation of supposedly The Paragons‘ greatest hits of the rocksteady era.  I can’t argue though, they do have some of their best songs on here!  I wish they put a few extras though…They do have their best known hits like “Wear you to the Ball” (one of my favorites of theirs), “Island in the Sun”, “Riding on a high and windy day” (another favorite of mine), and “My Best Girl”.  It is pretty much all their hit songs, but if you’re not familiar with the Paragons, it’s a good starter album to form an opinion of them.
