Was really looking forward to getting this unfortunately was very disappointed when I got it. I expected so much more. Horrible sound quality. Had to return for a refund.

Patti Smith at her best. Recieved two of my favorite albums by Patti Smith today. Had both of these records years ago and sadly lost in a move. I've always loved this woman and they sound just as good as they did in high school. Easter is my all time favorite record by her and her great band at the time. Thank you so much for the people at Amazon for making them so affordable for me. Being retired and on a fixed income that's important.

Patti Smith is still one of the best. I have seen her a few times back in 1980's. This is a very good album. And if you aren't old enough and never did see her, listen to this. She is a Punk, poet, a female Dylan .. GREAT ALBUM

This is not an album for some. Ironically, it may appeal to millennials as it had to Boomers because of the poetic quality of its lyrics. Take for instance, this verse from 'Land': '

The boy was in the hallway drinking a glass of tea
From the other end of the hallway a rhythm was generating
Another boy was sliding up the hallway
He merged perfectly with the hallway,
He merged perfectly, the mirror in the hallway

The instrumentation is marked by nice drum rolls and rhythmic guitars that sound mesmerising behind Smith's hypnotic voice.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute masterpiece!
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2015

Downloaded this several weeks ago and haven't stopped listening to it! Listened to the album well over 30 times and it's an absolutely joy to behold from start to finish. Smith's performance ranges from sultry and smoky, to sounding like she's possessed, in some kind of shamanic trance. Some songs are more straightforward, but some songs break down into the more abstract and avant garde...a psychedelic sea of sounds and words. The more I listen to the album, the more I hear the influence of the Velvet Underground and the album was actually produced by former VU member, John Cale. Can totally see where bands like Sonic Youth, the Meat Puppets, Husker Du, (just to name a few), came from. For anyone interested in early punk rock as it evolved in New York in the mid 1970's, or anyone interested in the history of rock and roll in general, Patti Smith's "Horses" is a must own!

5.0 out of 5 stars Worthy Celebration of a Landmark Album
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2012

I did not come across this album until several years after it had been released and was thrilled to find it. The remastered version of the "Horses" album was a pleasure in itself, but the true gem here is the live 2005 Lonodon concert at which Smith and her band performed that magnificent 1975 work in its entirety. The sound engineering here is superlative, especially for a live performance - the sound is crisp and clear; there are only a few points at which the mix is a bit off. I find these performances astounding, perhaps definitive. I've never heard a more compelling rendition of "Gloria." The band is tight, Smith's articulation and phrasing, joined to driving energy make this perfromance unforgettable. Likewise, the haunting poetic dimension of "Birdland" really comes through, and the frenetic force behind "Free Money" makes this rendition very compelling. "Land" is unsurprisingly, a tour de force. I find nothing self-indulgent in the live disc, as another reviewer complained. This concert performance of a ground-breaking album is a testament to Smith's talents as an artist and performer of enduring significance.

A classic NYC punk scene album! Best album ever made by a female artist, enough said, and being a woman in love with rock myself I listen to plenty. Patti is beyond a rockstar or even an artist, she is a poet of the soul. Everyone should listen to this album at least once in thier lives. As for the actual item, it was shipped in a timely fashion and is in perfect condition, I bought this years ago and am just now writing a review, I play this CD a LOT and it still does not skip.

5.0 out of 5 stars No horse play on this seminal? Debut album by Patti Smith.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 2, 2023
Verified Purchase
Patti Smith released her debut album Horses in 1975.
It has often received so much adulation and praise from the music press (of its day) and music industry at large; as being the best debut solo album of all time.and for once (on the whole) I tend to agree with them.
Patti Smith - with her highly original voice and style,made an album of (two) cover versions ie. Gloria (Them ft Van Morrison),and the three part suite of; Land: Horses,Land of a thousand dances (much covered),La mer (de).
Despite the album having an extremely art rock,nouvelle air of Chicness about it - it's also very varied in musical styles.
T2: Rendo beach - is very Jamaican reggae and tropical in texture.Free money - heads back to the USA and with its piano intro,has leanings of Bruce Springsteen (future asssociate) about it.
Original Album closer: Elegie - is a reflective end to a quite different album by Patti Smith.produced by John Cale of The Velvet underground fame - the two certainly have a lot in common with each other - musically!
Final track on disc one is; a very fiesty,full of attitude and angry version of The Who's rebellious anthem - My generation.this sounds live with audience applause at the end - but we're not done yet - continue to listen to disc 2 of this 2005 'Legacy edition' re-issue of Horses.

This leads me neatly to err...disc 2 of said package.
It's a live rendition - recorded at the Royal festival hall,London in 2005 (30 years after original album release) - of the whole Horses album; and as in common with most live renditions,is faithful to the original album but better when performed without the constraints of a closed-in studio environment (sounds clichéd but true).
Ending with that same? Rendition of My generation - this is a longer and 'sweary and edgy' version of said song.PS is at her most angriest,rebellious and gives one hell of a rant against 'the system' and authority at large.
This 2005 thirtieth anniversary 'legacy edition' of Horses by Patti Smith - is,on the whole - an excellent package including; slipcase,fold out package,booklet crammed full of info - sleeve notes,full lyrics,credits,b & w photos of main starlet,Patti Smith (of course),band personel for both studio and live versions including; Lenny Kaye,Tom Verlaine and Flea of Red hot chilli peppers (live version).

I am probably the type of person who doesn't fully appreciate what art rock etc chic and credibility is all about.and this is reflected in Patti Smith's sleeve notes for this reissue project - I find them beyond pretentious,even incoherent.continuing with notes by Paul Williams - not much better,and by the time I got round to the disc 2 ramblings by Sandy Pearlman- i'd given up long since.
Iv'e never 'got' most forms of art rock (with the exception of 10cc,perhaps) - and that's why at the end of this review - I'm sat here with my head in my hands at the (written) pretentiousness of it all!
Having said that; I give full credit to Patti Smith (and gang) for creating a very classy sounding debut album - made even better with this remastered update - before the beginning of anything punk/new wave had even been unleashed onto an unsuspecting public at large - highly recommended all the same.
