Bob Dylan
NEW YORK, NY – Master tapes of Bob Dylan’s first album are going up for auction in New York.
Stephen Handschu says he found the three tapes after someone left them in a box in his East Village apartment years ago. Handschu tells the New York Times the open-reel tapes were recorded in 1961 and released the following year under the title “Bob Dylan.”
Dylan was a Hibbing native who lived in Fargo for a short time. He dropped out of the University of Minnesota in May 1960 and moved to New York in January of 1961.
The auction house Guernsey’s in Manhattan says the opening bid for the tapes is $200,000, but they could fetch well over $1 million.
