An original program for the 1964 Newport Folk Festival, in Newport, R.I. Though Bob Dylan appeared three different times during this Festival, it wasn’t until the next year, when he “went electric” at Newport, that he became a true star. This 50 page program is filled with great essays, photos, biographies of every act who […]
A scarce postcard/handbill to promote Bob Dylan’s first solo concert, at New York’s Town Hall on April 12, 1963.

An extremely rare first edition of Bob Dylan’s acclaimed memoir Chronicles, Volume One, signed by Dylan just one month after the book’s release. This is one of only a handful of genuine signed copies of Chronicles we’ve seen, and the only one where we can date the signature to just after the book’s issue. Authentic […]
An exceptionally rare factory sealed stereo first pressing of Bob Dylan’s 1966 masterpiece Blonde on Blonde, in stone mint condition. This perfect example has it all: square corners, tight, fully intact shrink wrap with breath holes, and the sought after ‘hype sticker.’ There is a bit of age-related staining to the sticker only, but the […]

Four one-sided 12” acetates of an alternate sequence of Bob Dylan’s 197o album Self Portrait, owned by Dylan and used by him during the making of the LP.

A very unusual Japanese Columbia Records promotional poster issued in 2016 suggesting (via psychedelic writing) “You must listen to Dylan when it is the age that he is the same as you.” In other words, fans should listen to the records Dylan made when he was the same age that they now are. The poster […]

In excellent condition. 8″ […]
A rare concert poster from the spring 1976 leg of Bob Dylan’s legendary Rolling Thunder Review tour. Two nearly identical versions of this poster were produced; this is identified as coming from the second leg as it adds Roger McGuinn and Kinky Friedman to the lineup, deleting Ramblin’ Jack Eliott. Both posters were ‘tour blanks’, […]
A handbill advertising arguably the most important shows in Bob Dylan’s long career; his two-week stand opening for The Greenbriar Boys at Gerde’s Folk City in Greenwich Village.
