Sandy Edmonds

aka Rosalie Edmondson


In the mid 1960s Sandy Edmonds was, for a brief moment, one of New Zealand's biggest pop stars.

And then without explanation or warning she was gone, leaving behind one of the decade's celebrated pop-garage anthems, 'Daylight Saving Time', and a thousand questions as to her whereabouts.

Sandy Edmonds listens to a record in a radio station somewhere. The label seems to be HMV so it was not hers.
