Electric Dylan













Some excellent images of Bob Dylan during his visit to England in the sixties. Just on the brink of going electric, he arrived in England and caused a stir with his new dark enigmatic look. This tour is documented in the film No Direction Home. It is said that Dylan at this time set the template for how a rock star should dress,especially the dark sunglasses. One reporter said "Even when he took them off it looked like he was still wearing them". A snapshot of an artist at his creative peak,very aware of the power of his image.
