I don't think I ever saw or heard of this album until you posted it.  I found this track on YouTube, and I immediately recognized the opening lines, which were sampled by the United Future Organization.

This one always fascinated me, Jon Hendricks was great at reciting, as on his own "Evolution of the Blues" project:

I have a Decca original.  I distinctly remember buying it at Stereo Jack's in Cambridge in the late 1990s.  @Stereojack, do you still post here?

Jack regularly posts on facebook.

Any opinions about this box set?

Bought tickets for a performance of Howl accompanied by the Gary Crosby Trio next month

This one is OK, though the text is kind of "rural Americana" rather than any kind of social message.

I have this LP, but cannot find any audio or video to post.

The money cuts are by Brother Dimitrios, who is a parody of a beat poet.  Very funny stuff.  One of the poems starts like this:

There are but three poems:

Birth.

The everyday.

APOCALYPSE!

The discogs page you linked to had a video link (as they often do, right margin). It be excellent! And on the Satori label to boot!

Also, you recently posted a Where the Boys Are clip Dialectic Jazz that had some funny speechifying.

My copy of this was a gift from David Wade who wrote on the back "For Chuck Nessa - My hero - David, 20 Nov, 1968 - I.U." (Indiana University)

I'll raise you the opening scene from Roger Corman's Bucket of Blood, which recycles Fred Katz's score to Little Shop of Horrors.

Personally I could never get that into them, but the Haki R. Madhubuti (Don L. Lee) albums certainly fit the bill. Forgot to mention these upthread:

https://www.discogs.com/release/1274063-Haki-R-Madhubuti-Nation-Medasi

I thought Rise Vision Comin was the better of the two. Ended up trading them years ago, alas.

Joe McPhee's poetry is awesome. I will have to pick up a copy of that CD.

[T.D.]

Having read Joseph Jarman's book published by Blank Forms, I should have mentioned him...

Going to see Joe McPhee in a spoken word concert this weekend, but don't know what is on the program.

[clifford_thornton]

Yes, that performance is awesome -- a real classic. I saw him read as part of Equal Interest in at least one Vision Festival, IIRC.

[clifford_thornton]

Yeah, that's a fun one -- haven't dug it out in ages.

I'm a big fan of this one, however for some reason or another I got rid of it at one point and it's not so easy to replace for the amount I bought it for the first time:
