The highpoint of Sympathy’s release is the added bonus tracks - the experimental poems and songs from the seven-inch that accompanied the original LP. While Pierce handles all of his guitars for the first time, his studio band includes drummer Andy Anderson who just departed from The Cure and John MacKinzie who was between Wham! sessions. Craig Leon, whose production credits by this point included such classics as the first albums of both The Ramones and Suicide, does some pretty slick work. Recorded in London in 1985, this is Pierce’s most poppy and new wavey record. In addition to The Gun Club’s Mother Juno, Sympathy for the Record Industry just re-released Jeffrey Lee Pierce’s first solo album, Wildweed.
