NATIONAL HEALTH Of Queues And Cures (Charly CRL 5010) Caravan RARE UK 1st Pressing MINT-
RARE UK first (and only) pressing of the Canterbury scene`s swan song, National Health`s "Of Queues And Cures" on Charly Records (December 1978).
"Of Queues And Cures is one of the last and finest examples of the instrumental Canterbury sound on record during the 1970s. This somewhat sweeping claim for National Health's second album is made not only because of the complexity and quirkiness heard throughout, but because of the presence -- quite rare in the years to follow -- of fuzz organ, here played by Dave Stewart prior to his departure from the group. Aficionados know that the fuzz organ, as played by Stewart in this band and his preceding Hatfield and the North, Caravan's Dave Sinclair, and of course Soft Machine's Mike Ratledge, was central to the Canterbury sound, and although Ratledge was the groundbreaker, Stewart really pushed the envelope on this one." - Dave Lynch for allmusic.com
