Story & Background
Bob Dylan's debut album, recorded in just three sessions for a total of about six hours of studio time in November 1961, cost Columbia Records the paltry sum of approximately $400. Despite the unwavering confidence of his producer and discoverer, John Hammond – the same man who launched Billie Holiday and later Springsteen – the record was initially a resounding commercial flop. It sold barely 2,500 copies in its first year, earning it the mocking nickname of "Hammond's Folly" (Hammond's Folly) in the label's offices. Indeed, the management seriously questioned Hammond's foresight in signing such an unpolished and commercially "difficult" young man. Yet, what seemed like a lost gamble proved to be the cornerstone of one of the most influential careers in music history, making even a 1969 reissue, like this one, a fundamental piece of history today that testifies to his ascent after such an uncertain start.
