A.J. Weberman, back in the day.

Bob Dylan talking via phone to A.J. Weberman on Jan 6th & 9th, 1971.

You can listen or download over at the ubuweb site.

I found this comment on ubuweb about the recordings of interest:

The material shows amazing insight into Dylan as a human being, a family man and an artist.

Here’s the full info about these recordings as posted on ubuweb:

These are the telephone tapes made by A.J. Weberman of two phone calls (Jan 6th & 9th, 1971) to Bob Dylan regarding an article published by Weberman concerning Bob Dylan. Weberman became infamous for going through Dylan’s trash and selling the garbage he found. I obtained this copy of these recordings from a generation-counting private collector in Ireland 15 years ago and, at the time, I was told they were sourced from a reel to reel copy made from Weberman’s cassettes, rather than from the Folkways LP edition. The material shows amazing insight into Dylan as a human being, a family man and an artist. I decided not to try to clean up the material using DSP since the previous trader left it as he got it.”
