Review by salt animations

Alright, let’s dive into this little gem of an album—Baby Come Back Geordie by The Equators. Released in 1980 on Stiff Records outta France, it’s a fun mix of reggae vibes with that punchy ska energy. If you’re into tracks that make your shoulders bounce and your feet shuffle without even trying, this one’s worth a spin. First up, the title track “Baby Come Back.” Man, this tune sticks to your brain like gum on a hot day. It’s got this breezy, laid-back groove that just feels like sunshine bottled up in three minutes. The lyrics are simple but kinda heartfelt—you can tell they mean it when they sing about missing someone special. Plus, the horn section? Absolute fire. It pops in at just the right moments, adding that extra oomph that makes ska so irresistible. You’ll catch yourself humming it hours later, trust me. Then there’s “Geordie,” which is a whole different vibe. This one leans more into the reggae side of things, with a slower tempo and a bassline that feels like it’s hugging your soul. The vocals here have this raw, almost conversational tone, like the singer’s spilling his guts over a pint at the pub. There’s something real about it—not too polished, not trying too hard—and honestly, that’s what makes it stand out. It’s the kind of track that grows on you after a couple listens, sneaking its way into your playlist rotation before you even realize it. What I love most about this album is how unpretentious it feels. These guys weren’t chasing perfection; they were chasing a feeling. And yeah, maybe some of the production sounds a bit dated now (hello, 1980 calling!), but that’s part of its charm. Listening to Baby Come Back Geordie is like flipping through an old photo album—it might be a little rough around the edges, but every page tells a story. Oh, and here’s a random thought: isn’t it wild how music from decades ago still hits the spot today? Like, these cats in France back in the day probably had no clue their tunes would end up being reviewed by some random person in 2023. Wild, right? Anyway, give this one a shot if you’re in the mood for some good vibes and zero pretense.

Formed in 1977 by the brothers Bailey (Donald, Leo & Rocky), the offspring of Jamaican immigrants to England, The Equators were discovered by Stiff Records President, David Robinson, performing with another Birmingham band, The Beat (which shared The Equators 20/21 Management team). Robinson, ecstatically impressed with the raw energy of their concert performance & the soulful innovation of their ska-pop-reggae sound, moved to sign the band to the famous Stiff Records label (home of Madness & Elvis Costello). The Relationship with Stiff Records began with The Equators backing the Jamaican ska-reggae great, Desmond Dekker ("Israelites
