Argus were an obscure British outfit with connections to Rare Amber and Julian’s Treatment.
Their sound was hard–hitting bluesy hard–rock, similar to Hackensack or Killing Floor.
In 1973, they recorded a five–track demo with the intention of securing a record deal which sadly never arrived.
It is included here along with a few live tracks from post–Argus underground psych–prog outfit Anaconda.
First time on vinyl.
