Carolyn Hester and Bob Dylan in 1961
Quite a while ago I told ya about the famous Midnight special sessions by Harry Belafonte and Bob Dylan. I told ya also about Bob Dylan's first ever official recording with Carolyn Hester. Last week I got a comment over there.
Time to 'complete' things.
Bob Dylan time line 1961
After performing at the Cafe Wha? on his first night in town, Bob continues to play in Village coffeehouses using the name Bob Dylan. Before long he receives his first paid gig at NYU's Student Center, then as the support act for John Lee Hooker at Gerde's Folk City. He performs at Carnegie Hall to a sparse audience of 53 people, mostly friends. He plays harmonica on Harry Belafonte's album Midnight Special. While playing harmonica at a session for Carolyn Hester at Columbia Records, Dylan impresses producer John Hammond, who signs him to a five-year contract. His debut recording, entitled Bob Dylan, contains two original songs and an assortment of blues and traditional covers.

The price of this album ? Not really expensive. An example I found on the internet.
CAROLYN HESTER Self-titled Columbia CS8796, 1962. ex-/ex+ $45.00
Orig 6-Eyes label stereo with orig Columbia insert. With BOB DYLAN, harmonica - his second time on wax, and the session where he was discovered by John Hammond! Bruce Langhorne & Bill Lee also accompany. In beautiful condition - looks unplayed! I would have given it a m-; but just in case... A bit of edgeware and small back cover tear.
A priceless mp3 sample can be found in the comments.

Being a fan of 60s Dylan, I've heard of CH for a long time, but this is the first time I've actually been able to hear her.
to be brief, she's well worth the wait - up there with Baez & Collins.
Big thanks for coming up with this one, Jean.
Best wishes for the New Year, and, most importantly, keep on blogging!
Cheers.

I downloaded the archive file but it wants a password to un-zip it.
Can you please tell me the password?
Thanks!

Thanks ever so much, I've loved this album since I was a child and the quality of yours is far superior to my vinyl rip.

Thanks so much. My record is way too scratchy. A pleasure to hear it again.

Thanks so much!!! Carolyn Hester's version of Dink's Song is basically my favorite and it's one that I've had some trouble finding in whole.
