** Original copies of this rarity. Factory sealed. Few copies available ** Lenny Kaye, legendary guitarist for Patti Smith Group and compiler of the influential Nuggets garage-punk compilation, steps into the spotlight with I've Got A Right, part of John Giorno's groundbreaking Giorno Poetry Systems series that merged downtown poetry with punk rock energy.

Released through Giorno's visionary label that documented the intersection of New York's literary and musical underground, this album captures Kaye's visceral punk vision in its purest form. Recorded with minimal production and maximum intensity, it showcases Kaye's distinctive guitar work and his deep understanding of rock's primal power. From the anthemic title track to the driving rhythms throughout, I've Got A Right demonstrates why Kaye has remained a crucial figure in rock's underground. Part of the same creative ecosystem that produced Giorno's spoken word experiments and collaborations with William Burroughs and Laurie Anderson, this album bridges garage rock's past with punk's future. Essential listening for fans of Patti Smith, the Giorno Poetry Systems catalog, and anyone interested in the cross-pollination of NYC's downtown arts scene.
