The Pioneers ’Long Shot Kick De Bucket’ (Official Video)

Classic boss sounds from 1969, performed by leading Jamaican trio, the Pioneers. Relating the sudden and dramatic demise of noted racehorse Long Shot at a race held at Kingston’s famed Caymanas Park, ’Long Shot Kick The Bucket’ became one of Trojan Records’ earliest UK chart hits, with the record peaking at in the Official UK Singles Chart. The track was since become a skinhead anthem, its enduring popularity due in part to a cover version by the Specials that featured on the UK ska band’s chart-topping live EP entitled Too Much Too Young, which also featured their interpretations of ’Liquidator’ and ’Skinhead Moonstomp’.
