Once a month the family record club would meet to sell, buy and trade their records.   Here’s mom offering what she insists is a “rare” J.T. Adams lp on the original Word records label.   Bill just laughs.   Besides he says “the White Sisters lp you sold me last   time was NOT VG++!”

“Horses is a great record not only because Patti Smith stands alone, but because her uniqueness is lent resonance by the past.” (Maria’s review of Horses in Scene Magazine)
