Medical Grade Music (2021) is an autobiographical book written by former English snooker player Steve Davis and Iranian-born musician Kavus Torabi.[2] It focuses on the duo's shared affinity for psychedelic and progressive music.[3][4] It also serves as a tribute to the late radio presenter John Peel.[5]

Critical reception

The book received mostly positive reviews.[6][7] Paul Stevens of Louder Than War called the book "a great primer on music that falls outside of the Great Punk Rock War narrative and reveals a golden musical seam among the greatcoats, gloom and grease of the early 1970s" and complimented the contrast of Davis and Torabi's perspectives.[8]
