“New Pussy 'Invasion' CD review by the Ripple Effect http://ripplemusic.blogspot.com/2012/04/pussy-invasion.html 70's rock freaks will definitely want to get ahold of this. There's tons of flange on all the instruments, bluesy guitar solos and plenty of mid-tempo heavy rocking beats. Plus, you gotta love a band called Pussy that wrote a risqué song like "Feline Woman." As George Clinton once said, "more power to the Pussy!" --Woody http://www.rockadrome.com/superstore/product_info.php?products_id=5792 ”

“Rockadrome unearths another lost early 70's gem! Too bad the band didn't continue, they were really onto something with this album. The first track sounds a lot like Three Man Army but after that these guys really have their own sound. I would say if you like early Pentagram, Hard Stuff's first album, Budgie, or early Sweet, you can't go wrong picking up a copy. Some really catchy riffs make this an A list lost classic. Rob Haldy (edited) I LOVE PUSSY! I LOVE THIS BAND TOO. Very classic and groovy. I'm a child of the 70s, so this is totally my vibe. Tym Deal. This is amazing stuff, solid, classic rock. Dialectic Wishing the best to you and your great compositions. Best luck and millions of fans. A&P, I&SON. badass!!! White Knuckle Grip This is awesome. I love pussy! The band too! It's really cool to make something like this available. Eric Morris ooohhh.... Really inspiring me what you've got here... Good oldies rock! Robby Ramdhani Good old rock music will never die! Murky Red ”

“Impact was the aim when they chose the name Pussy and you've got to admit it's bold. The feline creature purred into life as a 3 piece off shoot of the 5 piece legend Jerusalem.Paul Dean and Ray Sparrow were the nucleus of Jerusalem and now Pussy. Pussy has already come to the attention of the business, they are produced and managed by Ian Gillan of Deep Purple. 'I mixed the band at their first gig, it was half full and then more people started drifting in, at the end they had to do 2 encores, which is very rare for that sort of gig..... ”

— Ray Hammond, Sounds music paper

“While their songs are full of throbbing rhythms and crunching distorted guitar riffs, Pussy don't come across quite so doomy and dark as did their previous incarnation. Pussy sounding something like a heavier T.Rex at times! Slade and The Sweet could be other influences/comparisons. Some songs remind us of Stray ("I Keep Remembering You"), others of early UFO ("Moonshine"), and one ("Pig Mansion") even hints at a proto-metal version of early Brian Eno. These rollicking tracks are all energetic and fuzzed out, with lots of bouncy, rubbery riffing. Definitely a good time, and thus getting played in heavy rotation here at the store ever since it showed up! 16 tracks on this cd, including a 7" single from 1972, the great "Feline Woman" All produced (as was Jerusalem) by Ian Gillan of Deep Purple, who also sings some backup. So cool that this long lost gem is finally available! The 20 page cd booklet includes lyrics, photos, and detailed liner notes about the Pussy story (Edited)”

— Aquarious Records

“Choice UK hard rock that's just on the edge of glam, but still plenty heavy with big furry guitars everywhere. Band was previously Jerusalem. Ian Gillian from Deep Purple was their producer & manager, but the band shyed away from overdone production & basically just used Gillian for his access to cool guitar pedals & big name. If you're cool with the Bay City Rollers or Vanilla Fudge & just wish they'd be a leetle teensy bit more badass, this is your band. Also an especially good one to always have handy in a physical format, as you don't really ever want to be caught googling 'pussy invasion'. ”
