Pussy - Pussy Plays 1969

This band was originally known as Fortes Mentum. Their album is one of the very best of the British progressive rock ultra-rarities. A five-piece band, whose complete personnel remain unknown. The album's a real gem. It kicks off with Come Back June, a keyboard-driven rock number, which is followed by one of their finest, All Of My Life. With its unusual, melodramatic vocals and fine keyboard arrangements it's well worth getting to hear.

‘Pussy is apparently the name of the group, though it’s by no means clear from the sleeve. The music is an amalgam of just about every underground cliché and ‘poetic-cum-significant’ lyric you’ve ever heard’ – Melody Maker, 12/4/69
