I didn't have a clue who this band were, but the name suggested 60's psychedelia, so I figured it was worth a pound, and I can't say I am disappointed, as it's actually pretty decent. I wouldn't describe it as out and out psychedelia, though you can hear quite a few influences, mostly Creedence Clearwater and the Stones, with a bit of Cat Stevens thrown in, so it's definitely from that direction, and a number of the tracks are good enough that I am quite surprised that I haven't come across these guys before.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17223741608573952911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499949614093219266.post-83571363318483074592019-07-11T21:40:42.369+01:002019-07-11T21:40:42.369+01:00I have a LP of pictures of life ...anyone interest...I have a LP of pictures of life ...anyone interested can have this ...I loved this group and music from years gone by Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087219628968477284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499949614093219266.post-17426969557523333612012-11-10T22:09:18.415+00:002012-11-10T22:09:18.415+00:00frankham1@msn.com all smallcase thanksfrankham1@msn.com all smallcase thanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499949614093219266.post-21882428980077306632012-11-10T22:07:53.015+00:002012-11-10T22:07:53.015+00:00I used to watch Dr marigolds prescription all the ...I used to watch Dr marigolds prescription all the time at the Robert peel Kingston BRILLIANT Apparently Fred still performs with other bands if anyone one knows who and where could they please let me know where he can be seen FRANKHAM1@MSN.COM THANKS Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499949614093219266.post-26528298464267995902011-09-22T13:42:43.341+01:002011-09-22T13:42:43.341+01:00Dr Marigold's Prescription have their own face...Dr Marigold's Prescription have their own facebook page now, with many photos.

DMP worked mainly with them in cabaret on the P&O ships, cruising around the Med and to the West Indies,in the late 60's.
