Clarence Parks - Don't Shoot Gunman / Dub (12" Bebo International / Golden Gems)

"Don't Shoot Gunman" by Clarence Parks is a tune which cannot be missed out in any selector's box. Recorded at Channel One studio on the crucial Take Five riddim, it features (unfortunately) timeless reality lyrics about guns and violence in Jamaica. The punchline is a pure sufferah's pleading: "If you see me walking down the street, don't shoot me down, oh no mr. gunman"... Boom! Originally released in 1983 as a 10'' on the Bebo International imprint, now reissued with original extended mixes. GOLDEN GEMS is a imprint dedicated to the reissue of rare gems and unknown thrillers from the golden age of reggae as well as other music styles, all deeply researched and fully licensed.
