Musically, the CD offers some excellent performances fizzing with energy and force in a live setting while the majority of tracks exhibit admirable sound quality.

Hi-Fi World (April 2010)


The hugely informative liner notes tell us that it was an early airplay that prompted John Lennon, Manfred Mann and Pete Townshend to contact John Peel to make sure that he was aware of Medicine Head…

This set captures the very best of Medicine Head in session during a period that produced the majority of their impressive output…

Jeff Perkins, Classic Eurorock (February 2010)


Such a diversity and timespan encompassing the band’s classic years gives ‘Radio Sessions’ not only the historic value but also the satisfaction factor.

Let It Rock ( www.dmme.net ) (February 2010)


This is classic British based blues rock and it includes their no. 3 hit single ‘One And One Is One’. Their earlier work hints at T. Rex most notably ‘(And The) Pictures In The Sky’ whilst later songs such as ‘Walkin’ Blues’ show what an accomplished blues guitarist John Fiddler is.

A definite must for fans of the band and being radio sessions the recordings are very good quality, including those recorded in front of live audiences. Often overlooked Medicine Head are an important part of the 70′s blues rock scene. 4/5

Whether you’re a Medicine Head junkie…or you’re just curious to find out what they were all about, Radio Sessions 1971-1977 is a top notch release from top to bottom that will satisfy both the diehards as well as the newbies.

Ryan Sparks, Sea of Tranquility (March 2010)

www.e-gear.com (May 2010)
