An excellent new book of Joe Alper's photos from 1961 to 1965, including photos from Caffé Lena in Saratoga NY, and at Alper's home in NY, and later shots such as Dylan playing electric for the first time at Newport,.most of them never before published in any form. Individual prints of photos are also available. More information here - http://www.dylanbook.com/

Barry Feinstein Exhibition & new book - Snap Galleries, Birmingham UK

Snap Galleries is to exhibit Barry Feinstein's collection of historic Dylan photographs for the first time in the UK.

Opening on Saturday 3 May 2008 to coincide with the publication of "Real Moments", Feinstein's new hardcover book of Dylan photos, the exhibition will feature work which hasn't been shown or offered for sale before. As the official photographer on the 1966 tour, he shot the cover pic on the No Direction Home CD/DVD, of Dylan standing outside a car at Aust Ferry

The "Real Moments" book will be available at £25 from Snap Galleries, before other retailers have it in stock - Snap will also be includling its' Dylan exhibition poster for customers buying it from them.

Note - One thing I learned from Guy White at Snap is that Feinstein took the cover shot for "The Times They Are A-Changin' " in 1963,. and not Don Hunstein as often credited (our 1963 page to be updated accordingly !).

Paul Till & "Blood on the Tracks" cover - his updated website has the story on this, and other photos of Dylan.

Rowland Scherman - His back pages - Article from the Boston Globe, 3 February 2008 by Geoff Edgers

"In 1967 (sic - presumably 1966), he took what would become his most famous photo. He and his wife, Joan, went to see Dylan play at the Washington Coliseum. Scherman took a Nikon with two rolls of film and, during the show, decided to head backstage. The security guards tried to keep him away, but he shouted at them. "I'm from Life," he said, and brushed past them, close to Dylan. He got the shot quickly - the singer's thick, afro-like hair silhouetted in a halo of blue light. Columbia's art director loved the picture, and it ended up on the cover of "Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits." Scherman earned $300 and a Grammy} "

Rolling Thunder Logbook - by Sam Shepard (Da Capo Press (USA) Sanctuary (UK), large paperback, 2005)

In case you haven't seen the latest edition (2005), it has many new & previously unpublished photos by Ken Regan. The introduction says it has "a different selection of photographs", so many from the first edition are presumably not included (1977). The foreword by T-Bone Burnett is good reading too ! Should be easily available at Amazon and other outlets.
