Home / Punk & New Wave / Horses
A visionary fusion of poetry and punk, raw and incantatory from the opening line. Fearless and influential. One of the great debut albums. Released in 1975, it's an early landmark for Patti Smith.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
