FIDDLER'S ANTHOLOGY (2004) / SLIP AND SLIDE (2005)

   
(left to right) England (2004) | England (2005) | Germany (2005)

The above CDs all feature songs from the soundtrack to the "Medicine Head Live In London" DVD, recorded by John Fiddler and Darrell Bath in the summer of 2003. The budget "Slip And Slide" CD makes no mention of this at all and comes with a misleading front cover depicting the band circa 1972. The German 2CD compilation "Only The Roses" has a separate entry, but is discussed here as well because disc 2 has songs from the DVD which is not found on the other two CDs.

Tracklisting 2004 CD: Rising Sun / Pictures In The Sky / One More Chance To Run / One And One is One / Big Drift Away / Only The Roses / Strong Heart / His Guidin' Hand / Back Where I Started / Indian Queen / Slip And Slide / Let The Kids Know

Tracklisting 2005 UK CD: Slip And Slide / Indian Queen / Rising Sun / Mornin' Light / Blue Skies / Epitaph Blues / Pictures In The Sky / Harder / Walking Blues / One And One Is One / Back Where I Started / Return Of The Buffalo

Tracklisting 2005 German CD (disc 2): Let The Kids Know / Big Drift Away / Indian Queen / Only The Roses / Slip And Slide / Rising Sun / Strong Heart / Return Of The Buffalo / Pictures In The Sky / Changin' Man / One More Chance To Run / Walking Blues / One And One Is One

There are still three tracks from the DVD soundtrack which have yet to appear on any album: "Time For A Change", "Time For Love" and "Win Or Lose".

MEDICINE HEAD 3CD BOX SET (2004)

Remastered versions of the first three Medicine Head albums were released in Japan in 2004. They were sold and marketed individually, but Universal also prepared a small number of promo only box sets containing all three CDs packaged within a shiny promo box made of very sturdy cardboard.

Three live tracks from the same period have been added as a bonus tracks (they were not part of the original track listing).
