The new 4 x CD deluxe box set of Medicine Show reveals in its unreleased tracks – is that as a live band – between Steve Wynn’s (then) new songs and his animated vocal performances, Karl Precoda’s expanded guitar playing (taking it to outer space), new bassists (Dave Provost, then Mark Walton holding it down (while pumping it up), and Dennis Duck holding it rock steady and the brief, but unique inclusion of Tommy Zvoncheck’s keyboards – the Medicine Show era was the shit! As proof, this set offers for the first time ever, the complete WXRT radio broadcast from the master tape, (the original A&M Live LP was truncated) – plus rehearsal and live tapes of original bassist Kendra Smith – just before she exited the band. A straight release of the original album, remixed and remastered is also available on vinyl. Full Medicine Show reissue details here.

Like many other psychologically complex albums upon their release, Lou’s Berlin, Neil’s On the Beach, Big Star Third, John Lennon’s solo debut Plastic Ono Band, The Who’s Quadrophenia, Dylan’s Blood On The Tracks – it takes a while, sometimes a long while to let it marinate into the psyche of the listener. The Medicine Show has arrived – long overdue.

For those who have read Steve Wynn’s recent memoir I Wouldn’t Say It If It Wasn’t True (Jawbone Press, 2024) – you know about the ‘breakdown’ he suffered while recording this album. The load was heavy, his dreams beyond control; major label debut, intense record producer, novella songs, friction between band members. Yet, the band emerged with a maverick result. This box set proves it.
