Toomorrow is the soundtrack from the 1970 film, featuring the band Toomorrow with Australian singer Olivia Newton-John (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 work with The Monkees.
Band members of the band Toomorrow were Olivia Newton-John (vocals), Karl Chambers (drums), Ben Thomas (guitar, vocals) and Vic Cooper (organ, piano, saxophone, guitar, recorder).
According to Newton-John's biographer Tim Ewbank, Bruce Welch tried to rescue this album by bringing in new, but well established British songwriters, to reconstruct a mk2 version of this album. Due to the knock on affect this would have had on the film version, requiring substantial and costly re-filming this idea was shelved. One 7" single with picture sleeve was taken from this album on RCA Records. Later on, a more commercial non-album follow up single by Toomorrow was recorded by this band on Decca Records, which was produced by Bruce Welch.
Toomorrow was released on compact disc in 2014 by Ohio-based label Real Gone Music.
