Hold your head up - the best of Argent

"Argent reached their proggy peak on 1974's Nexus album with a suite of three short instrumentals led by The Coming Of Kohoutek (inspired by a comet that had recently flown by Earth), yet sound equally comfortable channelling The Temptations on It's Only Money (Part 1), going honkytonk for Keep On Rollin' or essaying funk rock on Tragedy and The Jester. Tracks such as these, plus Liar (a hit for Badfinger and later covered by Graham Bonnet) and Christmas For The Free (incredibly, never released as a single) mark Argent as a band ripe for rediscovery".
