AUTHOR: HEYLIN, CLINTON

Title: Bob Dylan: The Recording Sessions 1960-1994

New York: St. Martin's Press, Dec 1995 1st ed.

Description: 233 p., ill. & [8] B/W plates, 24 cm.

Notes: A detailed examination of all Dylan studio recording sessions, organized chronologically, with separate chapters for each official release (album or film). The dust jacket claims the book "contains every song that Bob Dylan has ever recorded and every session he's done, beginning in an apartment in Minnesota in 1960 and concluding in the Sony studios in New York in 1994." Though some have complained about Heylin's opinionated writing style, the book does reveal quite a lot of new material, as he had access to the Sony archives in New York. An appendix listing bootleg CDs containing studio material includes Heylin's rating of each CD on a five-star system. Two handy alphabetic indexes of songs (Dylan's own and covers) make it easy to locate the sessions for any particular song.
