Venus Plus X from Trinidad and Tobago created a fine harmony pop record, “Victim of Circumstances” b/w “San Francisco” on Atman Records ATM 55.
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.
Hey there!
