Patti Smith: The Coral Sea

'THE CORAL SEA' NOW AVAILABLE

Patti Smith and My Bloody Valentine's Kevin Shields are set to release a double-disc set of their live performance of The Coral Sea on July 7, 2008 on their own PASK imprint. The Coral Sea is Patti Smith's homage to her friend and photographer Robert Mapplethorpe and the title of her 1996 book. Kevin Shields accompanies her on guitars and effects and creates a haunting backdrop to the spoken prose. The recordings were made June 22nd, 2005 and September 12th, 2006 at sold-out performances at the QEH in London. The set will run almost two hours with a different stylistic approach to each performance. The UK's Guardian upon reviewing the 2005 performance gave it 5 stars and called it 'magical.'
