The Pioneers ‎– Long Shot CD Trojan Records

Digitally remastered edition of this Reggae classic. In the autumn of 1969, the British Pop charts were stormed by series of hard-hitting Reggae singles, released by the recently launched Trojan Records. Among those leading this vanguard was a vocal trio that over the preceding year had enjoyed a series of major Jamaican triumphs: The Pioneers. Comprised of Sydney Crooks, Jackie Robinson and George Agard, their international breakthrough came with the equine-themed 'Long Shot Kick de Bucket' (later covered by the Specials), which reached #21 in UK Pop charts and prompted the release of the best-selling long-player, Long Shot.
