Description

Produced by Todd Rundgren, Wave represents the fourth studio album by Patti Smith and the final record to officially bill the legendary Patti Smith Group. Moving into a highly polished, melodic late-70s art-rock and new-wave landscape, the production value on this original analog pressing is incredibly warm and punchy. 
This release is famous for the hit singles "Dancing Barefoot" and "Frederick" (dedicated to her future husband, Fred "Sonic" Smith), alongside a fierce cover of the Byrds' "So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star." Because this copy remains factory sealed, the original double-sided insert featuring lyrics, credits, and portrait photography is preserved inside in untouched condition. 
Label: Arista Records Catalog Number: AB-4221 Format: 12" Vinyl, 33 ⅓ RPM, LP, Album, Stereo Country: US Pressing Release Year: 1979 Genre: Rock / New Wave / Punk / Art Rock 
Item Condition
Vinyl: MINT (M). Factory sealed and never opened. Flawless, unplayed, and perfectly preserved in its static-free environment since leaving the pressing plant in 1979.
Jacket: VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) / STILL SEALED. The original factory shrink-wrap is 100% complete and tight around the sleeve layout. Vintage no-barcode cover. Features a clean, standard distributor cut-out mark (saw-cut/clipped edge) indicating its classic deletion archive history. Jacket graphics are bright and free from ring wear, with sharp text along the unbroken spine.
