50 Years of Comparative Wealth E.P. was a 1981 7" EP released by Steve Diggle of Buzzcocks. This was his first disc released in his solo career and without Buzzcocks, who by those days were disbanding (although bassist Steve Garvey and drummer John Maher, both also from the band, remained with Diggle). Shortly afterwards Garvey dedicated to his proper projects, with his band Motivation, while Diggle and Maher formed punk band Flag of Convenience, but Maher also left Diggle after some releases.
