Info:

Wave Turned Out To Be The Last Album The Patti Smith Group Would Record, As It Was Also Last Album Smith Would Record Before A Nine Year Hiatus. The Godmother Of Punk Decided To Focus On Her Family Life And Moved To Michigan, But Not Before Leaving Us With Gems Like The Sexually Mysterious >dancing Barefoot< (dedicated To Her Husband To Be Fred Sonic Smith) And Her Amazing, Biting Version Of >so You Want To Be (a Rock N Roll Star)<. Produced By Todd Rundgren, This Is Her Most Pop-oriented Album, And Many At The Time Could Not Appreciate Her More Accessible Sound. Nevertheless, Wave, Her Spoken Word Tribute To Pope John Paul I (who Reigned For Only 33 Days) Is As Touching And Harrowing Now As When It Came Out In 1979. Available On Vinyl For The First Time Since Its Original Release!<br />pressing On 180 Grams Audiophile Vinyl, Includes 4 Page Insert.
