Remarks Michael Palmer's "Dem a Lick Shot" was cut in April 1984, and is the ORIGINAL cut of the tune later re-done for the Powerhouse label. One of the baddest rhythms of the much-revered-by-us mid '80s period of the Channel 1 sound, it's monstrously slow and heavy, laid by a then current iteration of the Gladiators Band, which featured Barnabas on drums. This is backed with the second cut of the rhythm, by Steve Knight, "See Dem a Come." While this tune was issued on Steve's fantastic "Orphan Child" LP a few years after being voiced, it was originally intended to be released as a 10-inch single in NYC on Channel 1's Hitbound label. However, that release never happened, and so finally released now are the vocal and dub mixes as intended for that release.
