Description

Original Medicine Show album returns as a 1xLP reissue.

At the forefront of the Paisley Underground scene, The Dream Syndicate are one of the most revered indie-rock bands of the 1980s.

Extensive 2025 US Fall tour + 2026 Jan/Feb Europe & UK Tour.

Medicine Show is the band’s second album. Remastered from the original reel-to-reel tapes and featuring liner notes by Steve Wynn.

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.
