Auntie Pus
Half-way To Venezuela
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 3 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, featuring Rat Scabies on drums, which was eventually released with some help from the Ruts
management, and did make not just into the weekly top 10 in Sounds, but "Single of the Week", and in a top 10 in Record
Mirror when the Damned were pulling the reigns that week. 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 an
unreleased track, artwork faithful to the original, with an accompanying insert that includes an in depth interview
which should be fascinating to any fan of '70s UK punk, or fans of the Damned, photos, and more.
