    First track on the first album I could afford to buy - K-Tel 20 dynamic hits.

    I bought it cos it had Softly Whispering I Love You by Congregation on it.

    In those days you had to listen to the record, till you got to the ones you liked.

    That was the first record I ever bought, it was the EP version with a long organ solo in the middle which was later cut out and released as a normal single.

    The Truth did a pretty decent version of God gave rock and roll to you back in the '80s.

    Ponders End with John Parr used to do a brilliant version of "You are the dance of ages". Argent's second single "Tragedy" is also a great track.

    Ponders end first band I remember charging on the door themselves. Rather than getting paid by the venue.

    Loved Argent! Rod’s keyboard playing was fabulous - the voice & songwriting (& guitar) of Russ Ballard was brilliant! Hold your head up, thunder & lightening - the superb I don’t believe in miracles (as far as I know, only a live version on Encore) - Music of the Spheres! Russ also wrote Since you’ve been gone for Rainbow.

    John Parr for me the best guitarist in clubland in the seventies. Mickeys Monkeys. ( my favourites of that era) Bitter suite and Ponders end. Made it in America. With St Elmo s fire, which was a massive hit. But also renowned in America for his contribution to the Gillett the best a man can get. Advert. Saw him supporting Journey in Newcastle several years ago. Still performing to this day I believe.
