The Equals - Michael And His Slipper Tree

This is a piece of film work directed by Piers Bedford in 1969, along with some of the 150 music promos of the 1960s & 70s with some commercials, documentaries, etc from 1960s to 2000. PiersBedfordMedia holds no copyright to this video, we only hope to share an experience created through a career.

This song was big back in '69 in Eastern Europe. Played on Radio Luxembourg, Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberty, etc.

This song came up in my Spotify Discover Weekly.. was driving home from a day of skiing.. Listened to it on repeat at full volume. This video is amazing!!

The Equals were, for me, a provocative and creative band. Pop, bubblegum, funk, everything they did is pure gold. In addition to a cover, the perfect band would be a mixture of The Equals and The Clash.

Ok, so this was all before my time, but I’ve been a dj, crate driver and student of music for 40 years (and lived half my adult life in the UK) — how am I only now figuring out how good these guys are?

(I’ll admit to hearing Baby Come Back I’m Idiocracy — but then figuring “this song is so good, they must be one hit wonders”)

It’s not just a one off — there’s ten songs that should be in the 60s canon (and that’s more than half the bands in the RnR HoF).

I was at a trivia night a couple of weeks ago and someone mentioned this song and wanted to know who sang it. I could not remember, but now that I have found it (after all these years) I will let them know. The song makes me want to sing it out loud. Ah, these were the best years of music.

I love how they filmed some in London and then took the train to Margate the same or another day and filmed some there. Thank you for sharing PiersBedfordMedia : ) Edit - oh! Maybe they all went in the Rolls!

Back in the key of B Flat. The way it should be played.

Slightly raised key compared to most other instances of this song on YT, sounds way more cheerful & happy - more of that!

Such a great track. It is pure bubblegum pop. Love it. Thank you Derv. Hope to see you play live soon👍
