The Pioneers - Long Shot

Release Date:06/23/2017;Notes:Limited 180gm audiophile vinyl LP pressing. The sixties were a golden age for Jamaican vocal trios. During the latter half of this incredibly creative decade, a multitude of harmony groups made their mark on the island's music scene, but of these only a relative few possessed the talent and determination to endure beyond the rock steady era. One trio that not only succeeded, but blossomed following the onset of reggae, is The Pioneers, who became one of the first Jamaican acts to achieve international success with their UK hit, 'Long Shot Kick The 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'. Comprising new material along with the best of their recent Jamaican singles to date, the collection is a must-have for all self-respecting fans of boss reggae and is now finally available once again, looking and sounding better than ever!
