Of Queues And Cures is a music studio album recording by NATIONAL HEALTH (Canterbury Scene/Progressive Rock) released in 1978 on cd, lp, vinyl and/or cassette.

Of Queues and Cures (also identified as Of Queues & Cures) is the second album recorded by the progressive rock and jazz fusion group National Health, one of the last representatives of the artistically prolific Canterbury scene

The road to National Health's eponymous first album may have been a long and rough one, but it didn't diminish its strength in the least, nor did the fact that its core line-up was three-quarters of Hatfield and the North.

This somewhat sweeping claim for National Health's second album is made not only because of the complexity and quirkiness heard throughout, but because of the presence - quite rare in the years to follow - of fuzz organ, here played by Dave Stewart prior to his departure from the group and the return of the arguably jazzier and less.

Producer – Mike Dunne, National Health. Originally released on LP in 1978 First Japanese CD version, this comes with 4 panel white foldout insert with Japanese text Track 8 is a bonus track not on other versions. Strangely, it is not a recording by National Health, but by Planet Gong (2), extracted from the album Live, Floating Anarchy 1977. Matrix, Runout: 29ED-6031 MT 1B1 ++.

Of Queues and Cures is one of the last and finest examples of the instrumental Canterbury sound on record during the 1970s. This somewhat sweeping claim for National Health's second album is made not only because of the complexity and quirkiness heard throughout, but because of the presence - quite rare in the years to follow - of fuzz organ, here played by Dave Stewart prior to his departure from the group and the return of the arguably jazzier and less. Aficionados know that the fuzz organ, as played by Stewart in this band and his preceding Hatfield and the North, Caravan's Dave Sinclair, and of course Soft Machine's Mike Ratledge, was central to the Canterbury sound, and although Ratledge was the groundbreaker, Stewart really pushed the envelope on this one.
