    Which version, Andy Powel's or Martin Turner's?
    I've seen Martin Turner's a few times in recent years, playing all the early stuff (first 4/5 albums) and I saw the original band a couple of times in the 1970s. Great band, Argus has to be in the top 100 all-time rock albums.

    Where were they?

    Persephone and The King Will Come are my two favourites. Argus in the top ten albums of that period.

    I would say Argus would be in top twenty … it certainly is in my 20 for most played LP’s

    Did they play any of the early stuff? I have to confess that I've never heard any of the albums after "There's the Rub". :(

    Wow I didn’t know they were still going. Saw them in 81 or 82 playing the Student Union at Liverpool Uni. They were decent then but not a group I ever bought albums of. Not paid much attention to them in the last 40 years.
