Shelter from the storm bob dylan live

Music legend Bob Dylan is seeking shelter from a storm of criticism after fans who paid $599 for a “hand-signed” copy of his new book discovered the autographs weren’t genuine.

Nine hundred copies of The Philosophy of Modern Song were sold at premium price with a Dylan signature. As it turns out, at least some of the supposedly handwritten signatures were made with an “auto-pen” device that replicates an original script.

The outrage was strong enough to prompt a statement from the Tambourine Man, who famously said nothing when he became the first musician to win a Nobel prize.

“I’ve hand-signed each and every art print over the years, and there’s never been a problem,” he wrote on Facebook. “However, in 2019 I had a bad case of vertigo and it continued into the pandemic years… With contractual deadlines looming, the idea of using an auto-pen was suggested to me, along with the assurance that this kind of thing is done ‘all the time’ in the art and literary worlds. Using a machine was an error in judgment and I want to rectify it immediately. I’m working with Simon & Schuster and my gallery partners to do just that.”

Dylan explained that the vertigo made it necessary for a team of five people to help him with signing sessions. During the pandemic, they were unable to find a safe way to do that. That’s when the auto-pen was suggested.

Publisher Simon & Schuster said it would refund people who bought the $599 versions of the book immediately.

As news of the auto-pen began blowin’ in the wind, the U.K. gallery that has sold most of Dylan’s paintings said it would offer full refunds to customers who purchased “hand-signed” items. Those prints typically sold for between $6,000 and $18,000 apiece.

Live 1962-1966 – Rare Performances From The Copyright Collections

Bob Dylan’s Live 1962 – 1966: Rare Performances from The Copyright Collections is now available digitally or as a 2-CD set.

Most of the performances on the album have been previously available only on the extremely limited edition “50th Anniversary / Copyright Extension” albums (three highly-collectible compilations–released in 2012, 2013 and 2014–of rare early Dylan recordings).

Across two discs-worth of music, Live 1962 – 1966: Rare Performances from The Copyright Collections chronicles Dylan’s transformation from groundbreaking acoustic “folk” artist to iconic force of pop culture.

The album features seminal recordings from the artist’s coffeehouse era (Gerde’s Folk City, 1962), his mythic 1963 breakout concerts at New York’s Town Hall and Carnegie Hall, a duet with Joan Baez from the historic March on Washington (August 28, 1963), definitive performances from his European and world tours of 1965 and 1966, incandescent moments from the 1964 and 1965 Newport Folk Festivals and more.
