ANDROMEDA - TURNS TO DUST [CD]

Definitive 5CD anthology of highly regarded late 60s British rock band. Includes their sole album and single, alternative versions, out-takes, previously unissued demos, a Radio 1 session and tracks from related bands. Andromeda were formed in mid-1968 by guitarist, vocalist and chief songwriter John Cann after the gradual collapse of his previous band, mod/psych legends The Attack. A John Peel session saw the trio briefly come under the DJ's wing before they signed to RCA. Released in late 1969, their self-titled album attracted highly positive reviews, and is now regarded by many collectors as a definitive example of the nascent British hard rock sound. But it failed to sell, and Andromeda imploded when Cann jumped ship to join Atomic Rooster, where he wrote and sang Top Five single 'Devil's Answer'. While there have been numerous Andromeda compilations over the last 35 years, the five- CD set Turns To Dust: The Complete Andromeda brings everything under one roof, adding some previously unreleased acetates and correcting various long-standing errors of annotation, dates and titles. The first four CDs collect everything recorded by the band, while Disc Five rounds up the pre-Andromeda story with tracks from The Attack and more obscure ventures, including two previously unissued cuts from the first outfit that Cann and bassist Mick Hawksworth had played in together, The Mailtown Blues Band. While previous Andromeda compilations have optimistically claimed to be definitive, Turns To Dust is undoubtedly the final word on a legendary late 60s British rock band.
