about

“Prayer for John Sinclair” is a track recorded by Allen Ginsberg on Halloween 1971 and donated to the Rainbow People’s Party for pressing as a 45 rpm single (coupled with “Free John Now” by the Up) on the Rainbow label and given away at the John Sinclair Freedom Rally at Crisler Arena at the University of Michigan on December 10, 1971, where the poet delivered a somewhat different version of the prayer (heard in the soundtrack to the unreleased Steve Gebhardt film called TEN FOR TWO: The John Sinclair Freedom Rally.) Three days later I was released on appeal bond from my 9-1/2-to-10-year prison sentence after serving
29 months.
