IN DREAMS

Every 35 weeks or so I get a bug to own The Medicine Show by Dream Syndicate.

And every 35 weeks or so I’m reminded that it remains out of print. I found a copy on eBay with a BIN price of $120. To which I say “Ha.”

Ha.

It doesn’t appear to be available from any legitimate download sites either. I do have some 35-week-old MP3s that betray their vinyl origins by hissing and cracking and popping.

I know it’s not the greatest album. Steve Wynn’s bullshit redlines occasionally, and it’s sludgy where the first album was sharp.

But still, it has enough good moments to deserve life as a CD or DL.

Get on it Rhino and/or eMusic...
