Artist:  Patti Smith Group 

Title:  Because the Night

Date:  1978

Label:  Flashback Records

 

Notes:  Although the picture sleeve for this record has since disappeared I had to include it just for the novelty of hearing Ms. Smith and friends do a collaboration with "The Boss" himself. It's the late 70's, primordial proto punk music is stirring within the bowels of New York and London and here is Patti doing, not only Springsteen, but a cover of a Byrds tune and it's produced by Todd Rundgren to boot. Both sides are played for all they're worth and the vocals, guitars, and rhythm section sound right on the money. A very nice flea market find for a quarter.
