(January 25, 2002 -New York, N.Y.)
Patti Smith's, Land 1975-2002, the long-anticipated first compilation of her career, is set for a March 19th in-store date, it was announced today by Antonio L.A. Reid, President and CEO, Arista Records. A double-CD package, Land 1975-2002, presents one disc of single sides and album tracks that were chosen by her fans, and a second disc consisting entirely of material previously unreleased, including demo and alternate takes, live tracks, poetry, rarities and her recording of Prince's "When Doves Cry." The collection will be graced by liner notes written by Susan Sontag, philosopher and educator, novelist and journalist, winner of last year's National Book Award for In America, as well as a 36 page booklet featuring previously unavailable photos, notes, original lyrics, artwork, and drawings from Patti Smith's archives. Additional unavailable material from Patti Smith's career will be available exclusively at her website, www.pattismithland.com, launching in March 2002.
The selections on disc one were finalized from more than 10,000 votes cast by fans during Pattis recent club and concert tours, as well as votes solicited over the Internet. The bulk of these songs originate on the 8 original albums that she has recorded for Arista: Horses (1975), Radio Ethiopia (1976), Easter (1978), Wave (1979), Dream Of Life (1988), Gone Again (1996), Peace and Noise (1997), and Gung Ho (2000).
Fans can expect Land 1975-2002's disc one to include Dancing Barefoot, Gloria, People Have the Power, Because The Night, Pissing In A River, Free Money, Summer Cannibals, Frederick, Glitter In Their Eyes, and more. The release of Patti Smiths, Land 1975-2002 will coincide with a national tour with her band featuring Lenny Kaye, Oliver Ray, Tony Shanahan, and Jay Dee Daugherty.
Patti Smith - singer and songwriter, poet and rock shaman, mother and sister, activist and humanitarian, is a primal force of social conscience and has been one of the cornerstones of Arista Records for its entire 26-year existence. Just as it is virtually impossible to separate Patti's mystique from the record company's identity, it is just as difficult to imagine the evolution of rock - especially the politically-charged factions of alternative rock - without her presence.
