DREAM SYNDICATE TO OFFER NEW DOSE OF ‚MEDICINE‘: Medicine Show, the second album by 1980s college-rock heroes, the Dream Syndicate, will be dusted off for reissue by Rhino Records perhaps as early next year, according to former frontman Steve Wynn. Like the 2001 reissue of the band’s first album, The Days Of Wine And Roses, the revisited Medicine Show will likely include extra tracks, new mastering, and new packaging. Originally released in 1984, Medicine Show was the Los Angeles group’s lone major-label effort. It was produced by Sandy Pearlman, known for his work with Blue Oyster Cult, and caused a small backlash among fans who cried sellout. Wynn recently told No Depression that the album was „misunderstood,“ that A&M Records had nothing to do with the group’s sound migration from caustic, Velvet-Underground-inspired to a more translucent, if no less epic style. „There was no pressure from the label at all,“ Wynn says. „More than anything, they wanted a noisy, trashy garage-psychedelic guitar record, because that’s what they were signing. And we were kind of fumbling around trying to find something else, trying to do something entirely different.“ Wynn’s latest solo effort, Static Transmission, arrives in the United States on July 8 from Down There/DBK Works.
