Patti Smith - Horses (50th Anniversary) 2LP

50th Anniversary Edition Double LP!

Remastered Direct from the Original Master Tapes!

Includes Previously Unreleased Outtakes & Rarities!

Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 26/500!

Celebrate 50 years of Patti Smith's debut studio album with the release of Horses (50th Anniversary). The 2-LP set features the iconic album remastered direct from the original master tapes, and previously unreleased outtakes and rarities — including Patti Smith's 1975 RCA audition tape.

It isn't hard to make the case for Patti Smith as a punk rock progenitor based on her debut album, which anticipated the new wave by a year or so: the simple, crudely played rock & roll, featuring Lenny Kaye's rudimentary guitar work, the anarchic spirit of Smith's vocals, and the emotional and imaginative nature of her lyrics — all prefigure the coming movement as it evolved on both sides of the Atlantic.

-William Ruhlmann, AllMusic, 5/5
