ANDROMEDA ''ANDROMEDA'' ORIGINAL 1969 RCA VICTOR LP WITH ORANGE LABEL. Sleeve and record in virtually mint condition, played about 6 times on a Thorens TD 124 record deck with an SME 3009 arm and a Shure V15 cartridge, and stored upright in a record cabinet having been recorded onto a reel to reel tape and not played again after that. There is a 'tick' right at the very beginning of one side for about 7 seconds, otherwise fine, with no spindle marks or surface damage, and there are a few light marks to the rear of the sleeve and a couple of very minor small creases to the front but no ringwear, so all in all, a very fine copy indeed of this rare and much sought after collectable album.
Andromeda was a psychedelic-progressive rock trio formed by singer-guitarist John Cann (also known as John Du Cann), formerly of the psychedelic garage band the Attack, Mick Hawksworth (bass, vocals) and Ian McClane (drums, vocals). The group performed in various London venues including Middle Earth and the Marquee Club. Cann's guitar was the dominant instrument, leading listeners through classically- based psychedelic and progressive directions and creative dissonances, contributing to the trio's impressive live sets. Andromeda combined their own original writing with elements appropriated out of familiar classical material. They were signed to RCA in 1969 but before that they'd appeared live on the BBC's Top Gear program in 1968, and recently other live recordings from their performances at Middle Earth have surfaced as well. The group's first single, "Go Your Way" was released in 1969 and this self-titled album (which featured some impressive vocals) followed quickly. The group broke up late in the year, and Cann joined Vincent Crane in Atomic Rooster, and revived the group with him at the end of the 1970's, while Hawksworth played with Alvin Lee and became a member of Ten Years After (and Ten Years Later), as well as playing with Matthew Fisher. Compact disc reissues of Andromeda's work began appearing in the 1990's on the Kissing Spell label.
