Cash Pussies - 99% is Shit (The Label) 1979
There appeared to be no shortage of people to hitch a ride on the Sex Pistols gravy train and in particular Sid and his death and the Cash Pussies single was no exception. However it’s not the worst by a long chalk. Unsurprisingly with Dave Goodman as producer it seems to sound remarkably like a the Sex Pistols riff and production on 99% Is Shit. Not bad female vocals from Diana Rich and a little parodying of Belsen Was A Gas in the line ‘London Town where the Jews all pray.’ The B side is weaker with a more kind of folk style vocal.-punk77

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!!
Singer sounds like Joy De Vivre. I’m for it.
this group was assembled by Fred and Judy Vermorel, The Sex Pistols’ first biographers. originally intended for a film project in 1979 entitled ‘Millions Like Us’, with a soundtrack to be produced by the group Throbbing Gristle, neither of which ever materialized. long-thought to have been a project just for this purpose, but they actually played a few shows and only disbanded when the film was aborted the same year. members included Alternative TV’s Alex Fergusson and The Pistols’ original soundman/producer Dave Goodman. see the excellent book “45 Revolutions vol. 1″ for more info.
This is an excellent site. Thanks for keeping the spirit of DIY alive.
thanks for the clarification, boob. I knew there was some Psychic TV connection to this one.
I love this record…
I take it this site is done??? I hope not.
ummm…not really, we just had a baby a few months back and i have been up to my eyeballs with fatherly duties. This site will gain momentum in the very near future. Sorry for the lack of substance here, but I hope you all understand.
couldn’t agree more - really awesome recording it. Shame film never happened
When I was about 19, the guitar player in my band convinced me to buy this; I got it for about $5, it blew me away, and I’ve spent the following six years trying to convince everyone I knew to buy it. Easily one of my favorite records, ever. And you’re high if you think the A-side is better; “Cash Flow” is borderline perfect.
The guitar sound is friggin awesome on A-side.. Best pistols-like guitar sound other than Jonesy..
