MEDICINE HEAD were always the masters of minimalist rock'n'roll whether kicking up a storm on stage or creating vastly underrated hit singles. Playing live was always at the core of the bands existence. This release has been compiled by John Fiddler and comes from numerous different radio sessions and band line-ups in the period 1971 to 1977.
JOHN FIDDLER and PETER HOPE EVANS are forever linked with the record buying public minds as a two man band but in this 6 year period they morphed into a five piece line-up as well.
John Fiddler has the god given gift of both a compelling and versatile voice as well as an instinctive knack for writing lyrics that go straight to the heart and melodies that stick like glue and lodge in the memory.
Post 1977 Punk is around the corner and Medicine Head are no more. The roar of BRITISH LIONS beckons for John-but that is a totally different story. Play loud and enjoy history.
