Encore is a live album by progressive rock group Argent. It was recorded in 1974 as the group toured to promote their studio album Nexus.
Argent did the opposite journey to Genesis.
Argent turned from a high class but not very successful pop rock group to progressive rock while Genesis turned their back on progressive rock and became a highly accomplished pop rock group.
Encore catches Argent very much in their prog rock phase and if you don’t like keyboards and synthesisers you should probably move along.
Argent could well have been forgotten except for the big hit single Hold Your Head Up.
There is also a BBC Radio 1 In Concert live album by Argent at a similar time but it’s difficult to find at a reasonable price.
