About The Record:

This Side of Paradise, by lead singer and songwriter of the Cars Ric Ocasek, shares its title with 1920 debut novel of F. Scott Fitzgerald, which in turn took its title from a line of the Rupert Brooke poem Tiare Tahiti. Though it was a solo album, other members of the Cars played significant roles. The first single from the album, Emotion in Motion, which was aided in its promotion by a video that received heavy airplay on MTV, reached No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks for one week, becoming Ocasek's only solo chart-topper. Ocasek remains the only member of the Cars to have a No. 1 hit single. True to You was also released as a single and became a minor Hot 100 hit as well as a a Top 10 on the Mainstream Rock Chart.
