Patti Smith's first single!!

Patti Smith released a cover of the song as the A-side of her first single, "Hey Joe" b/w "Piss Factory", in 1974. The arrangement of Smith's version is based on a recording by blues guitarist Roy Buchanan[citation needed] that was released the previous year (and dedicated to Hendrix). Smith's version is unique in that she includes a brief and salacious monologue about fugitive heiress Patty Hearst and her kidnapping and participation with the Symbionese Liberation Army. Smith's version portrays Patty Hearst as Joe with a "gun in her hand".

"Piss Factory" is a protopunk song written by Patti Smith and Richard Sohl, and released as a B-side on Smith's debut single "Hey Joe" in 1974. In 1989, Dave Marsh placed the song on the list of The 1001 Greatest Singles Ever Made.

• Due to the mail theft epidemic in the Italian post office system, all packages destined for Italy now must use Priority Mail service. Priority Mail includes package tracking and insurance and the packages are much less likely to get "lost" this way. We won't make any exceptions to this policy; we've already lost hundreds of dollars due to numerous packages magically disappearing in Italy.
