Argent Delivery
Chris Welch, Melody Maker, 30 November 1974
ROD ARGENT is a nice chap. Not one of your violent illiterates of rock prone to throwing pints of Guinness over the heads of passers-by, or indulging in rough horse play in dimly-lit night clubs. Rod lives away from the turmoil of London, in the quiet outer suburbs, and devotes his energies to the production of quality rock music with the band which bears his name.
