Material Wealth: Allen's Voice in Poem and Songs 1956-1996

In 1994, Rhino Records released the 4-CD boxset 'Holy Soul Jelly Roll: Songs & Poems 1949-1993', assembled by the late great Hal Willner that gathered together an unprecedented and definitive collection of Allen Ginsberg's poems and singing. Long out of print, this single disc both draws from and adds to Ginsberg's incredible body of recorded work. 'Material Wealth' (an audio soundtrack to the book of the same name) compactly explains to people that this is who the heck Allen Ginsberg was. A lifetime of Ginsberg's love, spirituality, passion, politics, culture, art in poem and song. These classic, yet rare, and some previously unreleased poems and songs are a bible of bop prosody from one of the Holy Trinity of the Beat Generation.
