Dylan Rarities – Part One – The ‘60s

Dylan Rarities – Part One – The ‘60s, the cover feature of the new (February) issue of Record Collector is the first of a three-part article by Evan Marshall on Dylan's rare, officially released tracks. Part 1 focuses on the 1960s, Part 2 will be the 70s/80s and Part 3 will be the 90s/00s.

It’s an eight page discographical labour of love – well written and beautifully illustrated with sumptuous cover artwork.

Author Marshall credits long-time Dylan rarities discographer Alan Fraser, whose unmissable website, Searching for a Gem, has been doing the same job for the last ten years.

The February issue of Record Collector also carries an enjoyable five page quote-heavy feature on John Wesley Harding by Harvey Kubernik.

So, if you’re a Bob collector, Record Collector February 2008 is a must-buy.

Thanks to Dylan discographer Evan Marshall:

“Thought you might like to know that the current issue of Record Collector features Dylan on the cover and inside is the first of a three part article by myself on Dylan's rare officially released tracks.

“Part 1 focuses on the 1960s, Part 2 will be the 70s/80s and Part 3 will be the 90s/00s.

“So, time to update that list of Dylan covers again! It seems that all the major magazines now seem to feature him once a year.”

(Looks like a must-have to me – Gerry Smith)
