A local record vendor made it clear to me that The Equals music of the 1970s was funkier than their 1960s output.
I was already aware of that fact.
What I was not really aware of was how diffcult it is to come across a copy of their very funky 1970s output.
He said he was not parting with his own copy.
The photo of the album above was taken while I was at The Afrika Bambaataa Master of Records Open Archive.
Who knew that would be the only time I would hold the album in my hands?
Who knew that I'd eventually want a copy of my own?
A few years ago, a copy was on sale at Yonge Street Play De Record. I tried to haggle and bargain my way to a lower price but there was no budging. There was no record for me either.
My last purchase on Discogs was for a copy of Born Ya! which was arriving from Trinidad & Tobago. My copy doesn't look too far from the one in the photo above. It is a few handles away from needing the makeshift tape. The condition is not worth talking about either.
At least I can say the album is no longer on my wantlist.
