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 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 tune is also recalled by some to be the first voiced & released tune by Michael Palmer, aka "Palmer Dog" as he was originally and locally known at the time.
