Chris White now assumed a writing and producing role, so Jim Rodford (Argent's cousin and formerly with the Mike Cotton Sound) was recruited on bass. The line-up was completed by drummer Bob Henrit and guitarist\/vocalist\/songwriter Russ Ballard (both previously with The Roulettes and Unit 4 + 2). The first two albums -\"Argent\"(1970) and \"Ring Of Hands\"(1971) -performed well but it was the third album \"All Together Now\"(1972) that catapulted the band to stardom. Written by Argent and White, first single \"Hold Your Head Up\" reached number 5 in both the UK and the US, where it sold over a million copies, and second single \"Tragedy\"also sold well. The next album \"In Deep\" (1973) featured the massive rock anthem \"God Gave Rock \u0026amp; Roll To You\", another worldwide hit, written by Russ Ballard. The song gained a new lease of life in 1991 when Kiss's cover version was featured at the end of the film \"Bill And Ted's Bogus Journey\". The album also included the hit \"It's Only Money (Pt 2)\". This 28 track 2 CD compilation gathers all the hits and the cream of the album tracks, including Rod Argent's \"Christmas For The Free\", which feature virtuoso performances and amazing vocal harmonies. The booklet incudes annotation by Alan Robinson.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHold Your Head Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGod Gave Rock ; Roll to You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChristmas for the Free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLiar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchoolgirl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDance in the Smoke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's Only Money (PT 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTragedy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's Only Money (PT 1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweet Mary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCelebration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLothlorien\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMan for All Reasons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThunder and Lightning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Jester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighwire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep on Rollin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBe My Lover, Be My Friend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLike Honey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleep Won't Help Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePleasure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Coming of Kohoutek\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnce Around the Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInfinite Wanderer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCircus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCandles on the River\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"837","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50721975959848,"sku":"74015573043","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/4078284-2809519.jpg?v=1763989843","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/argent-hold-your-head-up-best-of-impo-cd-74015573043","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
