Andromeda was a London-based English psychedelic rock ensemble established in 1966. Soon after their inception, the group underwent lineup modifications and, led by John Du Cann, produced their self-titled album in 1969, which included backing vocals from Eddie Dyche.
The band dissolved following Du Cann's departure to join Atomic Rooster in 1970.
Following this, Du Cann, Hawksworth, and Collins collaborated on a one-time studio venture known as The Five Day Week Straw People. Mick Hawksworth went on to briefly perform with Killing Floor and later became part of Fuzzy Duck.
In September 2017, an original pressing of their debut record fetched over £1,000 (approximately US$1,200) on Discogs.
