Ginsberg's Thing.

NY: Douglas Recording Corp., 1970. LP record (SD 801). A reissue of Ginsberg’s reading at the 1967 Festival of Two Worlds in Spoleto, Italy (item #90).

Sleeve notes by Vincent R. Tortora (who produced the recording) in which he mentions that “The local police stationed agents there [Spoleto] to listen for any hints of oscenita”, and how, after he was accused of violating the Italian penal code, Ginsberg “showed up at the police station carrying a bouquet of flowers and gesturing a mudra over the officer’s head to expel demons.”

Disc excellent in Very Good plus sleeve (small rubbed patch to front cover, probably from price sticker removal).
