Multicoloured covers and 7-inch formats from the 1960s shape collectors’ interest in releases by this British band. Many original pressings were produced specifically for the European market and are now hard to find. Early singles in particular often appear in different label and cover variants.
The Equals collectables & pressings
The focus with The Equals is especially on the early 7'' singles, which were released in various countries and with different label prints. For collectors, differences such as matrix numbers, label designs or rare B-sides are crucial. Many pressings from the 1970s were distributed only in small quantities, which affects their market value today. There is strong demand for well-preserved original pressings, especially first editions with specific cover motifs.
