Pussy,
managed and produced by Ian Gillan (Deep Purple), was formed from the ashes
of Jerusalem, well known among 70s hard rock enthusiasts thanks
to their stone-cold classic 1972 Deram label debut album, and
our recent vinyl reissues. This 1973 album, with Pau Dean and Ray Sparrow of
Jerusalem along with Brian Goff on guitar, was long-rumored to be an unreleased
second Jerusalem album. That it is not — this is a different crunchy guitar
beast. Although Pussy kept the raw, no rules edge from Jerusalem which sets
both bands apart from many others of the era, there seems to be a touch
of Ziggy Stardust crunchy space glam in the mix. Ian Gillan
was far more proactive this time around: he played piano and percussion, and
was responsible for many backing vocals on the songs.
Pussy were a hard rocking band with no pretensions of being super musicians or technical geniuses. If it seemed like fun, it was worth a try, which explains a lot about their sound and direction. On stage anything could happen—no rules of course! They gigged all over the UK and Germany as a main and support act, very much in the same way as Jerusalem had done. Pussy recorded and released one single on Deram and then went on to record tracks between 1972 and 1973 with Brian Goff taking over for Bob Cooke on guitar, for their debut album — the recordings on this very album — which was not released at the time.
Lion Productions and Rockadrome are proud to present here what was to have been the Pussy debut album, plus bonus tracks from the original Pussy single and a studio track recorded in 1972 with Jerusalem guitarist Bob Cooke. Features more than 40 minutes of material taken from the original master reels.
