Argent: In Deep (Epic)
John Tobler, Let It Rock, June 1973
WHEN I INTERVIEWED Colin Blunstone for Let It Rock one of the points that he made several times was that Argent were just about the most incredible studio band he had heard. Hes not totally unbiased, for Rod Argent and Colin Blunstone were the leading lights of the fabulous Zombies. But on the strength of this album, its extremely difficult to disagree with Colins judgement.
