Willie G. Moseley Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 While Argus wasn’t conceived as a “concept album,” many of its songs hinted at a medieval theme, particularly on Side Two. “It became a concept album by default and I'm happy about that,” Powell said, “but I wouldn't actually root it into being solely ‘medieval’. It did have historical references that seemed to span the ages or many centuries. Sure, all Brits or Europeans grow up with a sense of history, and 'old stones' surround you in every building. Norman churches, a thousand years old, are found in every small British village, and castles and cathedrals abound elsewhere. You can never escape the past. The lyrics were in fact inspired by the Bible, Greek mythology, and themes of endless wars; they speak to the exhaustion of all that.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crunchee Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Lemme guess...like the album cover, is this one of Yoko's 'art concepts'? It could be the t-shirt to wear for playing 'air guitar', though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

django49 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Mine are pre-worn with a bit of relic treatment. I assume they will command a premium price...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
