I recently found an early recording of Leonard Cohen reading his poetry on the Smithsonian Folkways website. The album, "Six Montreal Poets," was recorded in 1957 when Cohen was only 23! He reads mostly from "Let Us Compare Mythologies."

You can listen to a few samples here and browse the liner notes:

It's been available on CD and as a MP3 download for a while. I must have had my CD for a good 5 years.
