DESCRIPTION
Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of albums from the reggae legends. Among the first reggae hits to pierce the UK pop chart in 1969, 'Long Shot Kick de Bucket' made global stars of The Pioneers and led to Trojan Records swiftly releasing the trio's Long Shot LP, towards the close of the year. The album became a best-seller for the company, with the group's popularity in the UK prompting a follow-up collection, Battle Of The Giants, which hit the record shops the following year. Now, both of these popular Leslie Kong-produced LPs are brought together to form the basis of this collection, with the Battle Of The Giants set making it's CD debut. And with the release further bolstered by seven rare and previously unissued bonus tracks, this collection not only gathers the very best of The Pioneers' recordings for noted Jamaican producer, Leslie Kong, it also features some of the most popular recordings from the boss reggae era.
