Highlights
- Two boxes containing 149 recordings made by Bob Dylan in the late 1960s and early 1970s were found in a closet in an apartment in New York's Greenwich Village that the singer of Blowing in the Wind used as a studio more than 40 years ago, the media reported.
- The discovery was made at 124 West Houston Street, where Mr Dylan rented space around the corner from his apartment, a Daily News report said.
- The boxes contained acetate records with notes on the sleeves for the albums Nashville Skyline, Self Portrait and New Morning, as well as some covers of Johnny Cash songs, including Ring of Fire and Folsom Prison Blues.
- The woman who owned the building where the studio was located died and left the Manhattan property to her brother, who found the boxes and contacted collector Jeff Gold.
- Gold confirmed the recordings' authenticity and bought the lot.
- "They are so cool," Gold told the Daily News. "These would have been made in 1969, 1970 and 1971. I live for this stuff."
- The collector is selling some of the items online, with the rare ones going for up to $7,000 each.
