NOTES : lovely & complete original copy of the extremely rare recalled DOT LABEL pressing. rarely offered anywhere, and this is the nicest copy yet offered on ebay, with private sale copies know to go for nearly twice this price… according to goldmine magazine, POETRY FOR THE BEAT GENERATION by jack kerouac and steve allen – recorded but never released on dot records in 1959 – is one of the ten rarest albums in recording history. the story goes that kerouac and allen, who had invited kerouac to appear on his late night talk show, taped the record in one improvised session at dot studios in new york, the label where allen enjoyed success making MOR cocktail jazz lps with producer bob thiele. before the session – kerouac reciting over allen’s improvised piano – could be released, however, dot chief randy wood killed the project, reportedly saying that he wouldn't allow his own children to hear it. incensed, steve allen and bob thiele stormed out of dot to launch hanover records, where their first release was a repackaged POETRY FOR THE BEAT GENERATION. a small number of the suppressed dot original, however, variously estimated between 25 and 75 copies, survived, and this album features unique cover art, a cool sketch, slightly reminiscent of david stone martin, of a beatnik coffee-house scene. a legitimate rarity, especially in this condition.
