Argent

On page 67 of his autobiography Banging On!, Bob Henrit writes, "The very first Argent album finished with a forty-eight hour session [at Sound Techniques Studio] on 10 July 1969, the day Apollo 9 landed on the moon."  There are some factual errors here:  it was Apollo 11 that landed on the moon, and it happened on 20 July 1969.  If Henrit's recollection is correct, however, and the recording of the Argent album finished with a forty-eight-hour session that was completed on the day of the moon landing, to-day and to-morrow mark the fiftieth anniversary.
