This is the July 30, 1966 issue of THE SATURDAY EVENING POST, which features the cover story “BOB DYLAN: REBEL KING OF ROCK ‘N’ ROLL.” This issue is in very good condition for a magazine of this age. The cover contains a few scratches and nicks around the edges, but the inside pages are in very good condition.
BOB DYLAN - A rare biographical article by Jules Siegel, which records his career in the early days as a folk singer to his transition into folk-rock. “According to a recent poll, college students call him the most important contemporary poet in America.” At the age of 25 “He is even more popular in England and Europe than in America.” The writer gives an unbiased report that records the ups and downs of his career, up to that year, 1966. The successes and failures, the people he was close to, the critical reviews, and his ultimate success as a songwriter and singer. (See cover picture, and portrait by Daniel Kramer)
