Bob Dylan Sings, and Talks, on These Tapes From 62 Years Ago (The New York Times) [8]
"“Handwritten on the boxes are ‘Bob Dylan 1, 2 and 3.’ I’m going, What’s this? He goes, ‘I’m not entirely sure.’ He said: ‘There was a pile of boxes of tapes by the incinerator, and these were on the top — and you know how I like Bob Dylan. So I asked the engineer, What’s going on?’"
Dylan Tapes Don't Sell (NY Times) [5]
"The tapes of Bob Dylan’s first album that we wrote about in Monday’s New York Today were not sold at auction. A spokeswoman for Sony Music Entertainment, of which Columbia is now a subsidiary, noted that the tapes in question — which a sculptor who now lives in Detroit has had since the 1960s — are not unique copies and that the original reels are not lost. Sony Music’s archives has the original versions."
