"Another one of John Du Cann's pre-Atomic Rooster's releases. Maybe not as outstanding as their 'Definitive Collection' 2-CD (see my review), but still pretty potent. 'Originals' is a compilation of ten(10)tracks that Andromeda had recorded for their first lp in the summer of 1968. Apparenty, the record label had the band re-record the album because the original mixes were simply 'too heavy'. These cuts are THOSE recordings. Not a whole lot different sounding from the previously released versions of these tunes, like "Lonely Streets", "And Now The Sun Shines", the rocking "Return To Sanity" and "Too Old", but a little bit, enough to be noticed. Only track here I didn't recognize right off was "I Can Stop The Sun". Good British psych. A should-have."
