Easter [180-gram] Vinyl
Patti Smith’s Easter arrives on 180-gram vinyl with all the fire, poetry, and razor-wire conviction that made her one of rock’s most uncompromising voices.
Released in 1978, the album marked a pivotal moment in Smith’s career - balancing the raw downtown spirit of punk with broader rock ambition and lyrical mysticism. Backed by the Patti Smith Group and produced by Jimmy Iovine, Easter sharpened her sound without dulling the edges, letting literary intensity and primal energy coexist beautifully.
Because the Night remains the undeniable centerpiece, co-written with Bruce Springsteen and charged with romantic urgency, but the album runs far deeper than its breakout hit. Till Victory opens with swaggering momentum, Ghost Dance drifts into hypnotic spiritual terrain, while Rock N Roll Nigger closes the set in gloriously confrontational form. Tracks like Privilege (Set Me Free) and Easter showcase Smith’s ability to turn rebellion into something strangely elegant.
This 180-gram pressing gives the album the weight it deserves - sonically and culturally. Easter captures Patti Smith at the exact point where punk, poetry, and classic rock collided into something timeless, fearless, and still a little dangerous. Some records age gracefully. This one still kicks the door open.
