First-ever vinyl reissue • Half-speed mastered.
Of Queues and Cures, National Health’s remarkable second album, is presented for the first time ever as a half-speed mastered vinyl edition, offering an unparalleled listening experience that reveals new depth and detail in every note.
A cornerstone of the Canterbury scene, the album stands as one of its most adventurous and quintessential works — a dazzling display of wit, complexity, and musical interplay.
Following the success of last year’s Record Store Day release of their eponymous debut National Health, this long-awaited reissue celebrates the band’s singular creativity and enduring influence in progressive music.
Building on the group’s distinctive fusion of jazz sophistication and progressive experimentation, Of Queues and Cures captures National Health at the peak of their creative powers - The album overflows with inventiveness, sly humour, and dazzling musicianship, unfolding through intricate yet beautifully structured compositions that showcase the band’s unmatched interplay - Each track unveils a different atmosphere — complex yet melodic, daring yet elegant.
Dave Stewart, Phil Miller, and John Greaves deliver performances of exceptional nuance, anchored by Pip Pyle’s thunderous drumming.
The album also features inspired contributions from Canterbury stalwarts Jimmy Hastings and Peter Blegvad, enriching its sonic palette even further.
Of Queues and Cures remains a jewel of the Canterbury sound — a record that continues to mesmerize and inspire open-minded listeners nearly five decades after its release.
This new half-speed master edition allows the album’s brilliance to shine as never before, reaffirming its place among the great works of progressive music.
