Patti Smithin ensimmäinen levy julkaistiin uudelleen. Tupla-levyssä on mukana kaikenlaista herkkua:
 
Thirty years ago, a young poet released one of the most exciting debut albums of all time. Patti Smith meshed high art with three chord rock and roll to create an ambitious, unconventional and thrilling album that would anticipate punk by a year or two: Horses. Produced by ex-Velvet Underground John Cale, this revolutionary rock and roll masterpiece continues its unparalleled influence on rock music, style and culture to this day, with artists such as Michael Stipe citing its powerful effect on their own work. DISC 1: Contains the original 1975 recording DISC 2: Contains a live recording featuring original members of the band, recorded June 25, 2005 at the Royal Festival Hall, London.
 
This Legacy edition of Horses is packed in a beautiful fold-out digipak with deluxe booklet featuring rare archival photograph, ephemera, lyrics and documentation of the 2005 concert as well as Paul William's provocative essay on "Gloria" ansd Lester Bangs' 1975 essay for Cream Magazine.

Onkos kukaan testannut? Pakkohankinta tuo on jo pelkästään liven takia. Siinä soittaa nimittäin kitaraa Tom Verlaine.
