Patti Smith is set to celebrate the 50th anniversary of her pioneering debut album, Horses, with a new reissue featuring demos, outtakes, and other rarities. The expanded edition is out on October 10th via Legacy Recordings, and pre-orders are now available.
Available in either 2xLP or 2xCD packaging, the reissue features the original John Cale-produced album newly remastered directly from the original 1/4-inch master tapes. It also includes Smith’s 1975 RCA demo tape alongside four previously unreleased songs: “Distant Fingers,” “The Hunter Gets Captured by The Game,” and “Snowball.” Stream the latter track below.
Accompanied by longtime guitarist and co-writer Lenny Kaye, Smith reminisces on “Snowball” with lyrics like, “Your face, that I used to see/ Places that we used to be/ There’s time to hold me, dear/ Memories, coming loud and clear.”
