At a point in time when Britain was still coming to terms with a new era in its racial make-up, pop groups remained largely white although heavily influenced by black music. Homegrown multiracial groups would emerge with The Foundations and Hot Chocolate, but The Equals provided the blueprint and enjoyed considerable success in the process. Their various appearances for the BBC from 1968 to 1970 display alternate renditions of album cuts and singles (with exclusive tracks), capturing the band midway through recording their six albums up until 1970, coupled with TV appearances and tours at home and abroad. Although this collection doesn’t sum up the depth of their work, which remains one of the most considerable in terms of size, it does offer a glimpse into their halcyon period when as a pioneering, multiracial rock group crossing social and music boundaries, the Equals were indeed, unequalled! London Calling proudly presents The Equals, live from the BBC, London, England from 1968-1970, all 22 tracks performed live on Top Of The Pops.

The Best of Bobbie Gentry: The Capitol Years Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
At two discs – one devoted to original compositions, one to covers – Zonophone's 2007 collection The Best of Bobbie Gentry: The Capitol Years (its subtitle is unintentionally amusing, as Gentry only recorded for Capitol) is the most comprehensive Bobbie Gentry set yet released, which isn't the same thing as the best. Not that this compilation is bad – far from it, actually, since it does have all her hits and the great majority of her best tracks, plus a handful of rarities to lure in diehards. The problem is, it's too exhaustive to act as an introduction, especially with three terrific single-disc sets on the market (EMI's 2000 Ode to Bobbie Gentry, Raven's 2002 An American Quilt, Shout! Factory's 2004 Chickasaw County Child: The Artistry of Bobbie Gentry), and if you're already part of Gentry's cult, you'd be better served by getting Raven's pair of two-fers of original albums. That said, anybody who picks up this Best of Bobbie Gentry will hear plenty of wonderful music, so it's hardly a bad purchase; it's just that there are better options out there.
