Along with the reissue of Long Shot, the label Doctor Bird combined the other follow up release from the early 70's by The Pioneers, Battle Of The Giants, onto the one CD. Battle Of The Giants is a more soulful endeavour, which would highlight their transition to a soul sound in the mid to late 70's. The band underwent numerous line-up changes for a period of 28 years, and actually reformed in 1999, to which they continue to perform. They actually re-located to the UK in 1970 where they received strong acclaim and praise from the skinhead sub culture. The title track is probably the track to check out here. British group The Beat actually covered their track ''Jackpot'' on their 1980 album I Just Can't Stop It.
