AUNTIE PUS - Half-Way to Venezuela / Marmalade Freak / Fight the Good Fight (General Speech) 7"
As featured in Issue #62 of Ugly Things.
Julian Isaacs aka Auntie Pus, made a bet with his childhood friend Chris Millar (Rat Scabies of the Damned) that one of them would have a top ten record within three years. He of course lost that bet in less than a year as the Damned took the world by storm. Isaacs carried on with his own brand of punk and Syd Barrett inspired songs, playing with the best of the first wave of UK punk bands, and becoming frequent tour partners of bands like the Damned and the Ruts. In 1978 he finally recorded a single, produced by Dick Taylor of the Pretty Things and featuring Rat Scabies on drums, which was eventually released in 1980.
Since then, the single has become a staple of conversations covering under the radar 70s UK DIY punk and "messthetics" type singles. This 7" is a deluxe edition with a previously unreleased bonus track, artwork faithful to the original, with an accompanying insert that includes an interview with Auntie Pus.
