Pic & Bill had their best days (on record) when they worked with Bill Smith .......

[Anais nin Carms]

I love their stuff Malc , I remember Nick Brown (Driv) playing their stuff (talk about love ) at that do he ran near Euston can't remember the name of it , picked up the French picture sleeve 45 which then encourage me to buy the LP , I then heard You Walks so fine , which is just fantastic , not a clip on u-tube ?

[Anais nin Carms]

Another great track

Just got 'talk about love' on a us orig which kinda prompted the post, just think they are very special, I don't know of any duo or group that sound as rich as they do,in the way they do....

An inspired thread!. Thanks for starting it. All of your selections show great taste.

Is there any chance of Ace/Kent doing a compilation?. In the meantime does anyone have the Belter LP for sale?.

Phil, Baby Come Back is also on Thirty Minutes of Soul (but not on the US Le Cam or Japanese P-Vine releases)

Joker 3002 (Italy)

Vibraton 4009 (Germany)

Seems to be just French, Italian & German only unless any other countries put it out with that track on.

Apparently not that much, Mal.C. https://collectorsfrenzy.com/search?q=pic+%26+bill+soul+of+a+man&search-button=

[Guest Andy Kempster]

they will now that there's a feeding frenzy for them

[Anais nin Carms]

That's the down side of talking out loud , sends the price up all the time but its the only way to spread the vibe

[Biggordy]

I had "All I Want Is You" on a UK press on Page One a few years back but sold it as I wasn't into deep stuff at the time. I regret it now!

[Ernie Andrews]

I Have the Joker LP. Its one of the heaviest lps I ever handled- the vinyl is so thick

One thing to note though: The Moovers was recorded before Pic & Bill. Aside from that you've got to enjoy this thread. Pic & Bill made some immense records, maybe even the best of the male vocal duo genre.

Phil

Actually this is a comp that's yelling out to be done. Sounds right up Ace/Kent's strasse although I don't know difficult this stuff may be to license. Has anyone licensed anything from the Major lately or ever?

I was going to check that, just haven't got round to it.. Both immense recordings..

[viphitman]

Top soul duo !!! The lp is fantastic and Baby Come Back gets the odd spin here in Hamburg !!!

[Benji]

Indeed a great vocal duo. Come back baby lovely record. Tho I don't think it's danceable, too hectic IMO.

Apart from the 30 Mins of Soul album they had two 45s in Germany, one is Just a little tear on Metronome, the other one is this little beauty here that has eluded itself from me for quite some time:

I think that's the coupling that got released here in the UK on Page one, cheap record to get, slightly rarer on Red issue than the demo...

[jocko]

And still no one mentions their Soul of A Man track, their finest moment of many fine moments for me. Sometimes we overlook the obvious and this is obviously one of those records that deserve the accolade of Truly great. I love it. Think I put it on here before but can't do links at moment. C'mon someone slap it up and we can ponder greatness together for a short time.

[Mal C]

like to hear it..

You did Jocko...Here's the link to Refosoul from 2007 but apart from the MP3 sample at the bottom of that page it looks to be a criminal case of no one yet posting on You Tube!
