Covers that 'made' the Original

Have we had this one yet?

And I think this is a bit of a cheat as a cover, but it's a marvellous version

Yes, Russ is a bit of an undiscovered gem. Glad you checked him out. 👍

 

I'd always thought he was cool AF seeing him on TOTP in the 70s - sunglasses, holey guitar, shirt undone to the naval.  It is a pleasing thing to now dive a bit deeper and find he was perhaps the creative drive of the band.  Their song 'Tragedy' rarely gets airplay anywhere but is most likely my favourite Argent tune.  Certainly has some of my favourite rhythm guitar work on it in the breakdown.  You can barely see Jim Rodwell from behind that twin neck!

Youre clearly a football fan - unless Jim Rodford was handy with a dead ball! 😂 ⚽️ 

 

Bloody good track too…

Hate the stupid sport, merely a brain fart.  Anyway, I'll see your ford and raise you a well.

 

Whatever his name, I saw him with the band a couple of times (before he died, obvs!) and he always had his elbows out like that so I can only assume he practiced on the double neck all the time! 

 

Last time he also - quite annoyingly - played the bass line to Hold Your Head Up wrong.  Dummmdummmdummm dum dum instead of Dum dum dum dummmdummm.
