Explosion, also known as Equals Explosion, is the second album by the Equals, released in December 1967.

Probably most notable for:

"Police on My Back"

In 1980, the Clash recorded a cover version of the song for their album Sandinista!, and turned "the mid-paced soul-pop song into a charged-up, full-powered rocker". Their version featured guitarist Mick Jones on lead vocals, and was released as a single, but only in Australia. It was described as a "punk anthem at a time of political and social repression", and as their "most full-throated rock song since I Fought The Law." - Wikipedia

Unequalled Equals by the Equals, released on President Records in 1967.

Before giving this LP a listen I only knew Baby Come Back but there are other great songs here, such as I'm A Poor Man.

"The most recycled riff in rock"

To be honest, I'm not sure the Equals track sounds much like the rest, and the Bauhaus one has a similar guitar sound but the riff doesn't sound all that similar either. The rest though, yep.
