Way before he scaled the charts in the 80's Eddy Grant honed his songwriting and performing craft in this multi-racial 60's pop act which was popular in the UK. The tracks collected on Equals Explosion were not really meant for more than nice earworm territory, but that is the charm of it after all. Plus, now you know who did the original "Police on My Back" - and yes, I do prefer The Equals' psychedelic-shaded take over The Clash's more raucous cover.
