LP - The Dream Syndicate – Medicine Show (40th Anniversary Edition)

1LP - Import

In 1982, The Dream Syndicate started their own record company, Down There Records, to release their self-titled four-song twelve-inch EP, which included the first versions of ‘When You Smile’ and ‘That’s What You Always Say’.

They went on to sign with Slash for "The Days Of Wine And Roses", followed by A&M for the "Medicine Show" album.

"Medicine Show" has always been a controversial album, even before it was recorded. The indie rock darlings became the first Paisley Underground band to sign to a major label, hire a mainstream rock producer, change bass players, and spend months recording the album - after having banged out their previous one, "The Days Of Wine And Roses", in mere hours. Like many psychologically complex albums, "Medicine Show" took time to truly settle into listeners' minds. It's long overdue, but it has finally arrived.
