Andromeda was a British band of psychedelic, progressive, jazz and hard rock influence which lasted only enough to release one album. They were formed back in 1968, by John Du Cann, later of Atomic Rooster, after the break of his previous band, The Attack.
Du Cann (guitar), along with Mick Hawksworth (bass) and Jack Collins (drums), recorded a psychedelic rock project named The Five Day Week Straw People, being a concept album much praised by collectors nowadays. After recording this project, the three decided to form a band, who was called Andromeda. The band started to gig, record demos, live material, etc., but without and recording contract.
The band released only one album that was acclaimed by critics, but had no great success among the public, so they never released another material again. Du Cann left in late 69' going to form Atomic Rooster, along with Vincent Crane and Carl Palmer from Arthur Brown Band. The other members tried to continue with new guitarists, but the band soon split.
In September 2017, a copy of their first album sold for over $1,000 on Discogs.
