Wine & Roses @ 40

The Dream Syndicate's "History Kinda Pales When It And You Are Aligned - The Days Of Wine & Roses : 40th Anniversary Edition" are 54 songs from the original line up, including 10 hard to find rarities and 31 never released recordings.

An exceptional early 80's guitar powered gem, remastered in full and includes a wealth of unreleased material. This newly expanded 4 CD collection includes tracks from main protagonist Steve Wynn’s earlier combo 15 Minutes, the debut EP, astounding cover renditions (Johnny Cash, Janis Joplin, The Who and more), recordings of the band’s 1st ever rehearsal, along with several visceral live concerts from the pre album era.

Celebrating the album’s 40th anniversary, this beautifully house bookback edition also includes 30 pages of liner notes by band historian Pat Thomas, new interviews with Kendra Smith, engineer Paul Cutler and producer Chris D, rare photos, gig posters, and more.

Central to the hugely influential Paisley Underground scene of the early 1980s that spawned Green On Red, The Bangles, Long Ryders and Rain Parade. With a nod to the Velvet Underground, Quicksilver Messenger Service and Dylan, packed into an incendiary slow burn punk fuse, "The Days Of Wine And Roses" is a glorious, upbeat sprawl, everything that rock‘n’roll should be.
