Purpose of use

Burroughs, a Beat writer specifically released this recording along with the printed version of the book as part of his multimedia experiments. He is known for these and part of Burroughs's artistic explorations at the time was to experiment with the power of recordings.[3][4] This recording is, therefore, part of the original work and this clip allows Wikipedia to present part of it to the reader.

Replaceable?

As a recording of the text spoken by the original author, who died in 1997, this is irreplaceable.
