Never having had the chance to see Argent 'live', acquiring this album was the next best thing. It is a treat to hear the extended version of "Hold Your Head Up" with all the many and varied riffs in the organ solo.
Everyone seems to be in top form here, not missing a beat, or note.
Even though never recorded by Argent, the song "I Don't Believe in Miracles" which Russ wrote and was recorded by Colin Blunstone is performed here, making it extra special.
All the songs that are included here comprise a live rendition of a 'best of'of Argent's musical legacy. What many people may not realize, unless they were there, was how much hype, and over the top exposure some lesser deserving artists recieved in this time. What Argent proved, is that one didn't need a gimmick to have a high quality band, and the end result in a decade that prized the hype and gimmicktry was a lack of deserved appreciation.
Because many of these recordings have stood the test of time, they have been lovingly remastered and re-released, and so many younger people now have a chance to hear this, for the first time. I for one was not dissapointed then, and I am sure the younger fans are not dissapointed now.
