Howl and Other Poems LP

This is Ginsberg's voice cracking the room open, the same poem that got the Six Gallery crowd howling back in 1955 now caught on tape. Fantasy Records spliced a January 1959 Sherman Hotel benefit reading with studio sessions and pressed it that year; the Library of Congress locked it into the National Recording Registry in 2006. Craft's reissue lands on green-blend vinyl, the 1959 artwork intact.
