1973-Number 3 single.

Best Bit-At 1.35.In 1972 Medicine Head released their third album ‘Dark Side of the Moon’,Pink Floyd had just recorded an album with the same name, and to avoid confusion they changed it to ‘Eclipse,’ when the Medicine Head album turned out to be a commercial dud, Pink Floyd changed the name back to’Dark Side of the Moon,’ and the rest is history.

Medicine Head were formed in Stafford, England in 1968, they were active until 1977.The original duo of John Fiddler, born September 25th, 1947, and Peter Hope-Evans, born September 28th, 1947, first met at Wednesfield Grammr School, and later both attended Stafford Art School. The duo got their break when coming to the attention of legendary DJ John Peel (1939-2004,)who signed them to his ‘Dandelion Record’ label. Hope-Evans left the band for over a year during the recording of the third studio Album’Dark Side of the Moon,’ and was replaced by Keith Relf (1943-1976) (see also best songs 361) on bass, and drummer John Davies, he returned in 1973 for the recording of their most successful Album,’One and One Is One.’

‘One and One Is One’ was Medicine Head’s most successful song reaching Number 3 in 1973, they also achieved three other top 40 singles. They released six studio Albums, three of which were recorded for John Peel’s ‘Dandelion’ label. ‘One and One Is One’ was written by John Fiddler, and is a love song, and a celebration of compatibility.

‘Got no confusion with you by my side, and when it’s time to go, I’m satisfied.’
