About
Gods Own Medicine is the debut studio album by the English gothic rock band The Mission. It was released in November 1986 by the Phonogram label Mercury Records. The original LP version contains 10 songs. The CD and cassette versions had the songs "Blood Brother" and "Island in the Stream" added. Both had previously appeared on the "III" (Stay With Me) single. The band had spent much of 1986 touring around Europe and had performed two radio broadcasts for the BBC. In the summer of that year they signed with Phonogram Records after releasing two independent singles. Much of the material had featured on the tour and the band completed Gods Own Medicine within a period of four weeks. The record was produced by Tim Palmer and the Mission and recorded at Ridge Farm and Utopia Studios. Personnel Craig Adams – bass guitar, production Mick Brown – drums, production Simon Hinkler – guitars, production Wayne Hussey – vocals, guitars, production.

1st album, released November 1986.
Three singles were released from the album, 'Stay With Me' ('III'), 'Wasteland' ('IV') and 'Severina' ('V').
'Wasteland' was used in the 1980s TV show Miami Vice in the third series episode "Theresa", first broadcast on 13 February 1987.
A remastered version appeared in June 2007 with four bonus tracks including the original intro to 'Love Me to Death' that had to be cut due to the time restraints of vinyl.
Consequently its insertion has not been taken into account in the tracklist of the remaster - listing the two tracks as 'Love Me to Death (Original Full Length Version)' - and thus all tracks after 11 are mislabelled as being one track ahead of where they actually appear on the album.
