"I first heard about Medicine Head when I read a book about the making of the album The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd. In the book the author mentions that Pink Floyd had chosen the title "The Dark Side of the Moon" for their album but they soon realized that the Medicine Head had used this same title to one of their album. Because the album from the Medicine Head had not been well known by the public Pink Floyd decided to go ahead and release their album with the same title. After reading this comment I was curious to know the band that had used that title before Pink Floyd. Unfortunately I have not been able to buy a copy of the Dark Side of the Moon by the Medicine Head yet (rare and when available it is too expensive), so I decided to try another album. The album that was available at a reasonable price in the market was Only the Roses. I was very positively surprised when I listen to this album and loved their music since the first tune. Medicine Head was definitely a great band that, for whatever reason, did not have the success they deserved. Only the Roses ia a highly recommended album to any collection."
