Hear an excerpt of the A-side

I know nothing about Venus Plus X, other than the first names Ken & Greg given writer credits on the A-side. I’d like to know who was in the group and how they came to make this record. The group took their name from the 1960 Theodore Sturgeon novel.

The flip is a cover of the John Phillips song, but a pleasant version.

Andre Tanker and Herman Hadeed owned the Atman Records label, and published “Victim of Circumstances” through Tanker Music.
