Picture In The Sky

Biography:

Medicine Head was a British blues-rock band – initially a duo – formed in Stafford in 1968 that came to prominence when championed by influential DJ John Peel, who signed them to his Dandelion record label. Their biggest single success was in 1973, with "One and One Is One," a Number 3 hit on the UK Singles Chart.

The group recorded six original albums, the opening trio of which were on 'Dandelion'. That label enjoyed its only UK singles chart hit when "(And The) Pictures in the Sky" reached number 22 in 1971.
