‘Extremely rare’ Bob Dylan lyrics set to go under the hammer

  • An "extremely rare" working draft of lyrics for Bob Dylan's song "I'm Not There" is set to go under the hammer, with an estimated value of £20,000 to £40,000.
  • The page of draft lyrics was recently discovered inside a first-edition paperback of Allen Ginsberg’s Ankor Wat.
  • The book was once owned by Sally Grossman, the wife of Dylan’s first manager, Albert Grossman, and a close friend of the singer.
  • Dylan wrote and recorded "I'm Not There" in 1967, but it was not officially released until it appeared on the soundtrack for the 2007 film of the same name.
  • The auction also includes other significant music memorabilia, such as a guitar used by Slash and a leather jacket worn by George Michael.
