Toomorrow is the soundtrack from the 1970 film,[2] featuring the band Toomorrow with British - 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.[3]

Band members of the band Toomorrow were Olivia Newton-John (vocals),[4] Karl Chambers (drums), Ben Thomas (guitar, vocals) and Vic Cooper (organ, piano, saxophone, guitar, recorder).[5]

"You're My Baby Now" was released as a 7" single with picture sleeve on RCA Records, with "Goin' Back" on the B side.

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 effect this would have had on the film version, requiring substantial and costly re-filming this idea was shelved.[citation needed] A non-album follow up single by Toomorrow, "I Could Never Live Without Your Love", was released on Decca Records, produced by Welch.
