Description

1969 UK stereo pressing on RCA Victor label. This LP is ultra rare, and almost never seen these days, and very rarely comes up for auction! Its rarity is unusual because it is on a major label but it appears that RCA pressed only a few copies.

RCA Victor, Orange Label, 1969, SF8031, Matrix XGBS0093 - 2E, XGBS0094 - 2E

Andromeda was formed by singer - guitarist John (Du) Cann ( formerly of the band The Attack), Mick Hawksworth and Ian McLane. The band were signed to RCA in 1969. The group's first single "Go Your Way" was released in 1969 and this self-titled LP followed quickly. The Group broke up later in the year and Cann joined Atomic Rooster, while Hawksworth became a member of Ten Years After.

This album is a superb example of hard progressive rock with traces of psychedelic, progressive, jazz.

Face 1 - Too Old, Day Of The Change, And Now The Sun Shines, Gold And Silver Turns To Dust.

Face 2 - Return To Sanity, The Reason, I Can Stop The Sun, When To Stop

Condition

Sleeve: the front lamination is very shiny, with a few minor grubby marks near the edges. There is some light discolouration on the front opening edge. The reverse is not laminated and again is in very good condition with some non-serious areas of dirt on the edges, The spine shows little wear.

Vinyl: Very shiny appearance. Close examination reveals several light scratches, there is nothing deep and the sound is very good. The label is clean with no signs of ring wear.

All in all, The record looks and plays fine! Great copy of this much sought after collectable album!

There is no reserve so enjoy bidding! I will post the LP in a stiff mailer with additional card inside. Its receipt will need to be signed for.
