I like Pato’s cover version with its uptempo reggae vibes, I just prefer the original a bit more

Baby Come Back is fun enough and I was happy to see Eddy Grant grab a third UK chart-topper as songwriter - but it's not in the same league as the banging stomp of The Equals' original. They have had a comprehensive re-issue of their back catalogue over the last few months, and I hope it helps push them a bit more as a 60's band pushing boundaries that tended to get forgotten in Rock Historian circles, being more pop than rock and all that. Pato and UB40 doing their bit in 1994 for that. People often not fans of UB40 but they did a lot for lesser-known acts of the 60s and early 70's, mostly reggae or soul, not least an income stream that wasn't there before they did a cover.

"Everything changes" was the 5th single from Take That's very succesful second album of the same name. The previous three singles from the album ("Pray", "Relight My Fire", "Babe") all went to #1, so this was their fourth #1 in a row. "Everything Changes" is a nice little uptempo song and much more up my street than "Sure". The Single-CD features also a Beatles Medley (I Want To Hold Your Hand - Hard Days Night - She Loves You) and an extended version of "Everything Changes". Nicely enough, this is no cover version but carries a nice 1970's Bee Gee's vibe for me. A great pop song!

Better than Babe, but not nearly in the same league as Pray or Relight My Fire. Nice to see Robbie on lead, and it's a pleasant singalong with a fairly unexciting arrangement, but decent enough. Never noticed that sax solo before much. "smokin"!

Fab song, so much better than that other one which went before.

Yeah it's a good track, and a nice Robbie moment with strong vocals and a charming performance from him. A very catchy chorus too.

"We've said goodbye, the taxi cab is waiting."

Yes Robbie's distinctive voice is all over this track.

A nice track.

@Colm reviewed this track recently and your ranking is considerably more positive lol.
