Vinyl NM. Cover VG.

Radio Ethiopia is the follow up to Smith's widely acclaimed debut Horses.  In interviews surrounding the album's release, Smith explained that she chose producer Jack Douglas in hopes of making the album a commercial success. But the record turned out to be one of Patti Smith's most experimental pieces of music she has ever produced in her ingenious career.  What this album does is, take the complexity and experimentation of the vocal poetry of "Horses" and infuses it into the sound. The record comes with a 4 page insert written by Mrs. smith herself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patti_Smith
