The Equals – Baby Come Back

“Baby, Come Back” – Single by The Equals from the album Baby Come Back. Released in 1966.

This was written by band member Eddie Grant, who went on to have a hit with “Electric Avenue” as a solo artist.

The song was first released in 1966 as a B-side to “Hold Me Closer”. However, after impressive sales in the rest of Europe (it reached the top 10 in Belgium and the Netherlands) the song was re-issued in the UK on 1 May 1968 and reached number one on the UK Singles Chart for three consecutive weeks beginning 9 July 1968. In the U.S., the song charted at number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 28 September 1968 and was the Equals’ only track to chart in the U.S. top 40.

The Equals were a pop group formed in England in 1965 by Derv Gordan (vocals), his twin brother Lincoln (guitar), Grant (guitar), John Hall (drums) and Pat Lloyd (guitar). They went on to have 12 more hits in Germany and two other UK Top 10 hits (“Viva Bobby Joe” and “Black Skin Blue Eyed Boys”) before legal problems with the record company made it impossible to release any more records.
