Patti Smith
πŸ“€ Horses
#PunkRock #ArtPunk #GarageRock

50 years ago Patti Smith from Chicago, #USA released her debut studio album.

Smith was living in New York since 1969 and she already had a name in the city as a poet, songwriter, visual artist and performer.

When Horses came out it was an immediate huge success and Patti Smith became the most influential member of the New York City–based punk movement and one of the most influential female artists internationally.

The opener "Gloria" (part one: "In Excelsis Deo" / part two: "Gloria (Version)" is a fantastic rendition of #Them / #VanMorrison classic.

πŸ“Œ1985

CCCP - Fedeli Alla Linea
πŸ“€ Ortodossia II
πŸ“€ Compagni, Cittadini, Fratelli, Partigiani
#PunkRock #PostPunk #ArtPunk #AlternativeRock

40 years ago in undocumented dates, CCCP from #ReggioEmilia, #Italy, released their their debut studio albums, 2 EPs.

Both were published through the indipendent label Attack Punk Records from Bologna and became soon sought after rarities, until Virgin Records re-printed and published them as a Compilation in 1988.

Since their beginnings, the band opted for a drum machine instead of a real drummer.
Danilo Fatur and Annarella are credited as they are in fact the band's theatrical performers.
All songs in here became #CCCP signatures and live standards, some were re-recorded and included in their 1986 debut full-length.

Crazy, Seminal ❀️‍πŸ”₯

In these albums:
#GiovanniLindoFerretti - vocals
#MassimoZamboni - guitar
#UmbertoNegri - bass
#DaniloFatur - "Artista del popolo"
#Annarella - "Benemerita Soubrette"
