British blues-rock duo Medicine Head release their own album titled Dark Side of the Moon in 1972 on John Peel’s Dandelion label. Worried about being labeled as biters, the chagrined Floyds considered changing the name of their record to Eclipse (A Piece for Assorted Lunatics) for a time. But when Medicine Head flopped, they decided to move forward with the original name and hope no one noticed. (No one did.)
