When and where were Argiers and The Path written and recorded?
The track Argiers was recorded in January 1976 at Mike’s house in Througham, Gloucestershire. It is one of several acoustic guitar/recorder pieces that he did with Les Penning. As Mike’s studio was still being built, The Manor Mobile was used and cables run into one of the rooms. Portsmouth was also done at this time and in this way. It was first issued on the Boxed set of LPs and as a B-side to Portsmouth (except in the UK where it was a B-side to the William Tell Overture) in late 1976. It is also available on Boxed and the Elements 4-disc set. It is another of those traditional tunes that Mike arranged (see 3.18.) The Path was recorded about 6 – 9 months later than Argiers for the Arts Council Film ‘Reflection’. Credit: David Porter, dporter2@compuserve.com.
