Radio Ethiopia

VINYL FORMAT. 80 gram reissue, originally released in 1976. The follow-up to the acclaimed Horses, this album had a lukewarm reception upon its initial release, but has over time become recognized as one of Patti Smith's most challenging, defining moments, as the band expanded their sonic palette into noisier territory with more straight-ahead rock songs, and Smith's highly individual songwriting continually evolving with raw intensity and integrity. Songs like "Ain't It Strange," "Pissing In A River," and the title track seal the deal for making this album one of Smith's most honest and essential.
