Significant longplayers from the past
17 April 2025
Imperishable legend BOB DYLAN (now aged 83) topped the UK Charts with his
2nd LP THE FREEWHEELIN’ BOB DYLAN today 60 years ago, on 17 April 1965.
Except for 2 songs Dylan‘s debut album featured performances of traditional folk tunes. Here on his 2nd one 11 out of the 13 songs were penned by himself. Some of them, such as ‘Girl from the North Country’, ‘Masters of War’, ‘A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall’ and ‘Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right’, became timeless classics.
In the US the LP peaked at #22, but went platinum over the years.
The cover features a photograph of Dylan with his then Italian girlfriend
Suze Rotolo. It was taken in the West Village, New York City, close to the flat
where the couple lived at the time.
