Cygnus One appears to have only released one record, 'Greeting Card', by Ozo. It came out in October 1979, had a catalogue number of CO-1, was pressed in fluorescent yellow vinyl (which hasn't scanned very well), and was distributed by Selecta. Ozo was unusual in that the members of the group were all Buddhists; they had recorded a couple of albums and several singles for DJM in 1976-78, and had nearly got into the Singles Chart with the hypnotic, 'Anambra' (DJS-10764, 4/77), which was all percussion and 'om-mani-padmi-om's. It seems possible that Cygnus One was set up by the group themselves when their contract with DJM expired. They went on to make at least two more singles, 'Skintight' (SPS-01), and 'Spirits of Africa' for an equally ephemeral label, 'Sphinx', in 1982.
