Description

Immerse yourself in the seminal sounds of Horses, the groundbreaking debut album by Patti Smith. Released on December 13, 1975, by Arista Records, Horses is a cornerstone of the American punk rock movement, fusing raw rock and roll with Smith’s Beat poetry-infused lyrics. Produced by John Cale of The Velvet Underground, the album captures the essence of New York’s burgeoning punk scene and has since been hailed as one of the most influential albums in rock history.

Despite its lack of mainstream airplay and absence of a hit single, Horses achieved modest commercial success, reaching the top 50 on the US Billboard 200. Over the years, it has earned widespread critical acclaim, influencing a generation of punk, post-punk, and alternative rock artists, including Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Smiths, R.E.M., and PJ Harvey. This 120-gram vinyl pressing offers an authentic listening experience of an album that continues to resonate with listeners and artists alike, solidifying its place as one of the greatest albums of all time. Whether you’re exploring it for the first time or revisiting its timeless energy, Horses is an essential addition to any vinyl collection.
