Equator was the sixteenth album released by British rock band Uriah Heep.
It marked the studio return of bassist Trevor Bolder, although he had played on the Head First) tour.
The band also had a new record label, Portrait, a subsidiary of CBS.
"Rockarama" was released as a single, including a shaped picture-disc, and a video was made for the song. The B-side was non-album track 'Backstage Queen'.
"Poor Little Rich Girl" was also released as a single, with live B-sides.
The tour programme would be Heep's last in the UK.
When the Heep back catalogue was issued on CD in the early 1990s (Castle) and then remastered, with bonus tracks, in the mid-to-late 1990s (Essential), Equator was conspicuous by its absence. This was because Sony CBS wanted what was considered an extortionate sum for the rights. The album ultimately had a CD release in 1999, with no bonus material whatsoever. When the Essential remasters were expanded and reissued in the early 2000s by Sanctuary Equator had to be passed over once again.
