Howl (Into the Microphone)

The Guardian reports the discovery of the earliest known tape of Allen Ginserg reading from "Howl," recorded while at Reed College in February 1956. (Via Literary Kicks, an appropriately named source in this case)

The recording will be available at Reed's multimedia site around noon EST today.
