First Dylan tape up for auction
Sep 28, 2006, 1:33 GMT
Los Angeles - The first known recording of Bob Dylan is up for sale by an old school friend of the folk-rock master.
The tape was made in 1959 when Dylan was still in school and recorded four songs on an old tape recorder in the bedroom of his high school buddy Ric Kangas.
The tape is appraised at some 25,000 dollars and will go under the hammer as part of an auction of music memorabilia October 6 and 7 at Heritage Auction Galleries, a spokesman for the company told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa, Wednesday.
Kangas held on to the tape for over 40 years before he bought an old tape recorder at a garage sale that enabled him to listen to the old recording again. The music was featured on the soundtrack of No Direction Home, the recent documentary about Bob Dylan by Martin Scorsese.
