Pioneers
Long Shot
The sixties were a golden age for Jamaican vocal trios. One trio that not only succeeded, but blossomed following the onset of reggae, were The Pioneers, which in 1969 became one of the first Jamaican acts to achieve international success with their UK hit 'Long Shot (Kick De Bucket)'. The success of the single was swiftly followed by what became one of Trojan's biggest selling long players of all time, the aptly titled 'Long Shot'. Showcasing a dozen of the group's best-known works to date from one of reggae's earliest and most successful producers Leslie Kong, the LP features a number of Jamaican hits, including 'Samfie Man' and 'Black Bud', as well as the title track. Comes on 180 gram vinyl.
