About the LP: Andromeda was a crossover band, transcending the psychedelic and progressive era. The band was formed by John Cann (vocals and guitar) who was previously a member of The Attack.  The line-up was completed by Mick Hawksworth (bass and vocals) and Ian McLane (drums). The finest moments of this, their debut album, are "Day Of The Change”, which features some fine discordant guitar work and great vocals, and “Return To Sanity”, which opens with a guitar-driven instrumental passage - similar to Mars from Holst's Planets suite - and more fine guitar work throughout. By contrast there are a couple of more mellow, laid back numbers of note “And Now The Sun Shines” and “The Reason”. 

After Andromeda disbanded at the end of 1969, Cann formed Atomic Rooster with Vincent Crane.  Hawksworth formed Fuzzy Duck and was later in Ten Years After with Alvin Lee. "Day Of The Change" can also be heard on 'Broken Dreams, Vol. 3' (LP).
