In '76 ARGENT released the disappointing LP 'Counterpoints', ARGENT took his conclusions and broke up his band. Rod was so excited about this new ARGENT that he refused an offer to join YES after WAKEMAN's departure! In '75 ARGENT made the album 'Circus' but despite good critics the sales were poor. Russ was replaced by multi-instrumentalist John Grimaldi and guitarist/vocalist John Verity. Later that year ARGENT released the double-live record 'Encore'. In '74 Russ departure was a fact but without hard feelings. The following album 'In Deep' and single 'God gave Rock 'N' To You' charted good but the increasing musical problems between Rod ARGENT and Russ Ballard finally escalated after the next album 'Nexus' ('74): Russ wasn't pleased at all with Rod's synthesizer escapades, he liked the shorter and more catchy rocksongs. With the next albums 'Ring Of Hands' ('71) and 'All Together Now' ('72) ARGENT gained more appreciation and the single 'Hold Your Head Up' became a smash hit all over the world. Under this name they released the eponymous debut album 'Argent' in '70, the song 'Liar' became a USA hit and was covered by THREE DOG NIGHT. He recruted bass player John Rodford, drummer Bob Henritt and guitarist Russ Ballard and called the quartet ARGENT. Eighteen months after keyboard virtuoso Rod ARGENT left the famous sixties band The ZOMBIES, their single 'Time Of The Season' from their last album 'Odyssey & Oracle' topped the US charts and sold one million copies! There was a hugh demand to re-group The ZOMBIES but Rod ARGENT preferred to form his own band to make more progressive music.
