Patti Smith Announces 50th Anniversary Reissue of Horses, Unveils “Snowball”

Patti Smith Announces 50th Anniversary Reissue of Horses, Unveils "Snowball"

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.”
