Collection of ten Bob Dylan (and Dylan-related) albums and records from the personal collection of Barbara Hewitt, his former Hibbing classmate and sometime girlfriend. As a teen in 1958, Dylan wrote dozens of love letters to Hewitt, assuring her of his enduring love and asking for hers in return. In those letters, he imagines himself as a musician with a million record sales, sharing a stage with Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens. These albums, released between 1962 and 1969, represent the fulfillment of those dreams. The collection is highlighted by a rare original stereo pressing of Dylan's self-titled debut album, with red-and-black 'six eye' Columbia Records labels on the record.
Includes seven Bob Dylan stereo albums, complete with their sleeves and records:
Bob Dylan (Columbia, CS 8579, Stereo, 6-Eye label, XSM-55621-1E/XSM-55622-1F in runout)
The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (Columbia, CS 8786, Stereo, XSM-58719-3AC/XSM-58720-1F in runout)

One lone record from the two-disc Self Portrait (Columbia, C2X 30050, Stereo) missing its sleeve.
Plus two Dylan-related albums: Joan Baez (Vanguard, VSD 2077, Stereo); and The Immortal Songs of Bob Dylan Played by the Gotham String Quartet (Philips, PHS 600-218, Stereo).
In overall very good to fine condition, with various scuffs and scratches to discs, partial edge splits to the Highway 61 and Nashville Skyline sleeves, a tear and crease to the label on the back of the John Wesley Harding sleeve, and other general expected wear. Accompanied by a few of Hewitt's own local newspaper clippings covering Dylan's rise to fame, as well as a clipped magazine ad for The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan.
