Rock group based in Germany. Asterix's first lead singer was George Manros, who would be replaced by John Lawton and Toni Cavanaugh for the album recordings. Asterix was a direct predecessor of Lucifer's Friend; released one (eponymous) album in 1970. Technically, this was the first Lucifer's Friend album, only under a different name. Also, one single was released featuring a slightly altered line-up, without John's involvement.
