ON THE BEACH * HUGH ROY * TREASURE ISLE * JA
U Roy Toasting over The Paragons 1967 Rock Steady scorcher On The Beach, this is not the same On The Beach as the Owen Grey Version, which mentions Sir Cox and The Downbeats, but the song that has the line which baffled many who had little knowledge of Jamaican culture, "One more box of Apps says the man I won't surrender" at least that's what it sounded like. Amongst the versions of this song are two by John Holt, one for himself, and one for Coxsone Dodd, Lizze also cut a version for Coxsone, and Prince Buster has a live version on his On Tour LP.
