Find out all you need to know about Pussy and Jerusalem bands at http://jerusalembanduk.wixsite.com/mysiteThe original early 70's rock band Pussy from Salisbury , UK , was managed and produced by Ian Gillan of Deep Purple. Paul Dean and Ray Sparrow formed Pussy along with Bob Cooke (later replaced by Brian Goff) after disbanding cult rock band Jerusalem . They made the decision not to continue with the name Jerusalem out of respect for what Jerusalem was all about at that time in musical history, after all Jerusalem was a one-off moment in time creation and could never be recreated. Although the musical direction of Pussy was very different to Jerusalem , which is surprising as Paul was the main writer for both bands, they continued to keep that raw, no rules edge which set them apart from many of the bands of the period. At this time it was very fashionable to write very long songs and use the full repertoire of the latest studio equipment, but Pussy did the opposite, so all recordings were around single length and recorded virtually live in the studio. Very much a 'wham bam thank you mam' type impact. Their songs could be about absolutely anything whatsoever - 'Feline Woman' - Sex, 'Riding Down The Red Flag' - Politics, 'IFO' - Extraterrestrials, 'The Knife' - Passion, 'Lady Ella' - Ella Fitzgerald, 'Moonshine' - Booze etc, maybe they were also taking the piss out of everyone else at the time, who knows? Ian was far more proactive with Pussy and was actually responsible for singing a considerable amount of the backing vocals on the songs (also played piano on Feline Woman version 2 and co-wrote 'Place in the Sky')). Pussy really were a good-time 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. At one time they supported Roy Wood's (founder of the Electric Light Orchestra E.L.O.) new band Wizard and Roy decided he wanted them as his support band for Wizards first World Tour, but unfortunately Roy became involved in a legal wrangle with his old record company and was forced to stop everything he was doing musically for a period of time.
