Question on "The Equalizer" from NFL Films
I am wondering if anyone knows the original release date and possibly original title (if different) for "The Equalizer" by Sam Spence. I know of the track being released in 1996 when NFL Films Music Library bought out CDs but I know the track was used in 1989!!! (26th March 1989 - 1st April 1989). I have listened to all the available NFL Films vinyls and have not come across this track, does anyone know the original release for this track?

Any help for any of the above is very much appreciated. If you have any further questions on anything then do let me know.

Wow just hearing the audio of the announcers and wrestler names bring me back to my teen years!

But anyway, only could ID 1 and it's not library....

UNK-87_1 is a very short snip of the 12" mix of Pete Townshend's "Face The Face"


I'd like to know myself whatever that very first Disco one is (UNK-85_1)

I met Dusty Rhodes in 1976 on my birthday, as a kid. It was a big moment for me at that time. All my friends were jealous.

That's very cool! Almost 10 years after you met Dusty, in 1985 or 86 (somewhere in that time frame) I met Cowboy Bob Orton (WWF wrestling) when I was a teenager. So I know what ya mean about it being a big moment back when...wasn't on my b'day though  ;D

Oh awesome, thank you very much for this  :D
I have about 800+ shows from 1985-1988 on my PC which I watch and catalog all their information on my site. I didn't watch JCP back in the day as I was born in 1984 but do love their music and love watching it now.

That is pretty sweet and certainly would be a massive thing as he was at the top of his game then, especially on your birthday!

That is also cool that you met Cowboy Bob Orton, was he wearing his cast?

No he actually wasn't wearing the cast LOL. It was late Summer of 1985 or 86 (can't remember which year, but it was one of em) and he was doing an independent wrestling gig away from WWF in Wildwood New Jersey at the convention center. Had got his autograph too...wish I still had it :)
