Toomorrow (1970) is the soundtrack from Australian singer Olivia Newton-John's 1970 film Toomorrow, and also her first major release album. The film was a sci-fi musical mix directed by Val Guest and was Newton-John's second movie. It was Don Kirshner's less successful follow up to his fictitious musical group creation, The Monkees.
The group consisted of Australian 21 year old Olivia; English keyboard player Vic Cooper 25, American drummer Karl Chambers 22 and Ben Thomas American 24 year old singer. Originally Chris Slade (who went onto ACDC fame) was to be a member but before the movie was made he left and was replaced by Karl Chambers (Karl sadly died Feb 2002 from cancer).
According to Olivia the film and record took two years to make and the band were sent back and forth to America sometimes only to be told they were not needed and sent on holiday for a week! This was not all bad news as the group members were all on high wages, Olivia was reported to have been given a $10,000 retainer a year, not a mean sum in 1970! In fact no expense was spared, the film cost around 1 million dollars to make.
"Toomorrow" released a vinyl album entitled "Toomorrow" (RCA LSA 3008) which was the soundtrack from the movie and two singles: I Could Never Live Without your Love/Roll Like The River (not available on the album) and You're My Baby Now/Going Back. All of which are now rare and expensive! This album has a typical late Sixties psychedelic feel to it. The early Olivia Newton-John is the voice of innocence and hope on the soundtrack album. The style is atypical of her later work, however, the band Toomorrow worked well together musically despite their total lack of commercial success.
