SMITH LOOKS BACK ON "LAND"

PATTI SMITH will release the two-disc "Land 1975-2002," her first ever career-spanning retrospective, on March 19th.

The first disc will feature singles and album tracks chosen by fans during Smith's last club tour and via the Internet, while the second disc will include previously unreleased demos and alternate takes, live tracks, poetry and a cover of PRINCE's "When Doves Cry."

The set also includes liner notes penned by SUSAN SONTAG. Smith will make additional rare material available on her new Web site, http://www.pattismithland.com, which will launch in March.
