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 ‘\u003cem\u003eWhen You Smile\u003c\/em\u003e’ and ‘\u003cem\u003eThat’s What You Always Say\u003c\/em\u003e’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey went on to sign with Slash for \u003cem\u003eThe Days of Wine and Roses\u003c\/em\u003e, followed by A\u0026amp;M for the \u003cem\u003eMedicine Show\u003c\/em\u003e album. After years, the band has earned the right to reissue \u003cem\u003eMedicine Show\u003c\/em\u003e as a 42-song, 4xCD set featuring 29 unreleased recordings from the 1983 to 1984 era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor this special occasion, The Dream Syndicate are resurrecting their Down There label, which will be distributed by Fire Records. \u003cem\u003eMedicine Show\u003c\/em\u003e has always been a controversial album, even before it was recorded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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, \u003cem\u003eThe Days of Wine and Roses\u003c\/em\u003e, in mere hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat this new box set reveals is that, as a live band, they were on fire. For the first time ever, the complete WXRT radio broadcast from the original reel-to-reel master tape is included. This is accompanied by rehearsal and live tapes of Kendra, recorded just before her departure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s all part of the story: early, primitive versions of original songs, plenty of cover versions that the band mangled into something new, and a journey of finding themselves along the way. Thankfully, shows from venues like CBGB’s, Zaders, and Soap Creek reveal some incendiary magic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the live audio, the album itself has now been remastered from the original analog tapes. Like many psychologically complex albums, \u003cem\u003eMedicine Show\u003c\/em\u003e took time to truly settle into listeners’ minds. It’s long overdue, but it has finally arrived.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Down There Records","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":52533029568843,"sku":"R3493-5034","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4CD","offer_id":52533029601611,"sku":"R3493-9076","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/DreamSyndicate-MedicineShow_e78b7a9d-177c-431c-977b-3279ed796fb4.jpg?v=1752257821"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/down-there-records.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
