Old fold lines with subsequent rubbing to paper stock, ragged pinholes at corners, uneven dampstaining. Overall a Good only example of this extremely rare poster with heavy signs of use either at a record shop or (equally likely) a dorm room. Promotional poster to Patti Smith's first solo album "Horses," released at the end of 1975. The album, recorded at Electric Lady Studios and produced by the former Velvet Underground member John Cale, was one of the earliest releases under the Arista Records label. Arista, founded in 1974 by Clive Davis, quickly established itself as a force in the 1970s music scene, signing Barry Manilow, Aretha Franklin, Patti Smith, and Dionne Warwick all in quick succession. "Horses," while not a runaway hit, was an instant classic, respectably reaching no. 47 on the Billboard 200 with songs like "Gloria," "Redondo Beach," and "Free Money." We find no copies of this poster in the trade, auction records, or OCLC as of September, 2025, though we do locate an example at MoMA, attributing the design to Bob Heimall.
