Original released on LP Columbia CL 1779 (mono)
(US 1962, March 19)
After heaing the young Dylan playing harmonica at a recording session with Carolyn Hester, John Hammond signed the 20-year-old to Columbia, got him straight into the studio and captured a typical coffee-house set. It was recorded in two three-hour sessions at Columbia Studio A on 20 and 22 November 1961 at a cost of $402 using just two mikes - one on Dylan's guitar and the other recording his vocal and harmonica. Many hardcore fans will only listen to the record in mono: the stereo separation of this album is brutal, with vocal and guitar each occupying a virtual exclusion zone. This new CD remaster (from the box "The Original Mono Recordings") adds a whole extra sense of presence. The front cover is a reversed-image photograph by Don Hunstein of an extremely youthful and quizzical Dylan in sheepskin jacket and trademark cap, holding his acoustic guitar in both hands. The US album has a small black and white photograph of Dylan on the back cover that was omitted from the UK version. The back cover text is identical. Stacey Williams is a pseudonym for Robert Shelton.
