Medicine Show / I Know What You Like Édition Deluxe

Cette réédition deluxe de Medicine Show se présente sous la forme d’un coffret 4 CD regroupant 42 titres du groupe The Dream Syndicate, dont des enregistrements rares, des sessions radio, des répétitions, des démos et du matériel inédit datant de 1983 à 1984. En parallèle, l’album original ressort également en vinyle LP via Down There Records, distribué par Fire Records. Le groupe avait fondé ce label en 1982 pour publier son premier EP avant de signer chez Slash puis A&M Records. Ce coffret comprend 29 morceaux jamais publiés, dont l’intégralité d’un concert diffusé sur WXRT, des répétitions et des captations live avec Kendra Smith avant son départ. On y découvre un groupe explosif sur scène, mêlant versions primitives de leurs chansons et reprises transformées. L’album, remasterisé à partir des bandes analogiques originales, illustre la transition du groupe vers une production plus ambitieuse et controversée.
