Originally formed in 1976 from the ashes of 70’s super group ARGENT, the band recorded 3 albums before splitting amicably to allow John Verity to concentrate on record production.

While both Bob Henrit and Jim Rodford toured the world with the KINKS Since then however, the guys have taken every opportunity available to come together for impromptu gigs, and session work wherever possible - Bob has been the regular drummer in the John Verity Band for live work and recording, with Jim often filling bass duties.

There have always been enquiries via the JV website as to whether there might be another PHOENIX album in the pipeline or maybe some gigs, and then out of the blue the original CBS and Charisma albums were re-released...

Following some festival dates in the summer of 2009, the guys went into the studio to record once again, this time with Mark Griffiths on bass and Ian Gibbons on keyboards. The resulting recordings, coupled with live tracks from the summer’s performances (two tracks with Jim Rodford on bass, one with Bob Skeat) form this latest set - 'Still Burning'

PHOENIX - the 30th anniversary re-issue of an album which influenced the late 70s new -wave of UK heavy rock... - First Released 1976 Re-Released December 2006

Following the demise of ARGENT, John Verity, Bob Henrit and Jim Rodford decided the time was right for a much more straight ahead approach and with this in mind wrote and recorded a series of tracks at Trident Studios, London. The resultant PHOENIX recordings were released in 1976 on vinyl, and have never been available on CD until now... The timing was not right for the band to achieve the success it deserved, but nevertheless the album proved to be a huge influence on many musicians disturbed at what was happening on the UK music scene in the mid- 70s. There was a new-wave of UK rock later in the 70s and early 80s - but heres your chance to check out some of the work which influenced this newbreed of UK rockers... PHOENIX - HENRIT, RODFORD, and VERITY.

If you fancy yourself a British rock historian, Phoenix is a power trio you should know about. - Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
