RELEASE DATE
5/12/2023
Reissue, originally released in 1969. One of the key albums when talking about psychedelic hard-rock and early proto-metal. Featuring the great
John Du Cann
(
The Attack
,
Atomic Rooster
,
Hard Stuff
) on guitar plus
Mick Hawksworth
(
Fuzzy Duck
,
Alvin Lee
) on heavy bass plus the powerful drumming of
Ian McLane
(
Neat Change
,
Ray Owen's Moon
).
Andromeda
was formed during the final days of Du Cann's previous band The Attack, when he decided to go in a full heavier and proggier musical direction. Recruiting his friend/roommate Mick Hawksworth on bass plus drummer
Jack McCulloch
(of
One In A Million
, soon to be replaced by Ian McLane), the power-trio was born. After initial interest from
John Peel
(Dandelion) and
Kit Lambert
(Track Records), Du Cann decided to go with a major label, RCA, who offered him the chance to self-produce their first album. Recorded at Advision Studios, the impressive Andromeda debut was released in 1969, housed in a sleeve designed by John with photos by
Gered Mankowitz
. But despite receiving excellent reviews and the band playing lots of gigs (some of them billed above bands like
Black Sabbath
), RCA didn't know what to do with such a heavy rock band. Tired of the lack of promotion and support, John accepted an offer to join Atomic Rooster... but that's another story. Remastered sound; original artwork in hard cardboard laminated sleeve; insert with liner notes and photos/memorabilia. "...
One of the strongest early heavy prog bands
..." --

(Galactic Ramble)
