Argent

1999-04-26 Thread Jerry Curry


Well, I took some time digging through the KOCH WWW site and their
catalogs this morning.  I couldn't find the Argent album I have let alone 
another record.  Hmm...their address is: www.kochint.com

So, I'm not sure what the answer is, but I'm betting only _All Togehter
Now_ has been reissued.  Might have to check out Argent's and Blunstone's
first solo albums if they are akin to their ealrier Zombies material.
Did anyone pick up that Zombies box set that came out late last year?
I've only heard good things about it.

Adios,
Jerry

 I always liked that first Argent album, that was more Zombies and less
 bombastic 70s rock band.  My vinyl of it is shot.  Did Koch reissue this
 one by any chance?

 Yeah, it's superb; excellent packaging, a whole bunch of rarities,
unreleased songs, demos, a whole disc of BBC sessions, etc., great sound
quality, and the whole nine yards.  
 The first Argent album is pretty similar in mindset to the Zombies. 
Blunstone's "One Year" even more so in some respects since Argent is the
backing band on a few songs.  "One Year" is a pretty short album, but
it's a near-masterpiece in my book, with some of the best singing and
writing of the man's career.  There's a nice collection of Sony called
"Some Years" that collects material from Blunstone's first three solo
albums, including most of "One Year."
