Searching For A Gem: Acknowledgments

Revised: 30 July, 2010.

This web-site would not be possible without all the people who have contributed entries, pictures, comments and corrections. Despite the size of this site, it's still like a jigsaw puzzle with hundreds of pieces missing - every new item for inclusion is very gratefully received.

	Special thanks go to Hans Seegers for his ongoing provision of huge amounts of information and scans of unique rarities. Also for his patience in sorting out previous errors! Thanks also to Jeani Hoftijzer and the late Wim van der Mark from the Netherlands for the extensive Dylan discography site "Inside The Museums", which has provided much vital information and corrections to existing entries. Sadly, this resource is no longer available. Thanks to Rod MacBeath for his series of seven articles "Looking Up Dylan's Sleeves" in "The Telegraph" issues 50-56. These articles answer so many queries to this web-site that I would like to see them published as a book that I could recommend to readers. Thanks to Alan Hoaksey for the information provided by his ongoing series of discographical lists in his section "The Dime Store" in "The Bridge" magazine .
Thanks to Sam C. Visser for all the information provided by his web-site "Rebel With A Cause" featuring Dylan 7" picture sleeves. Sadly Sam died on 28 Feb 2005 at far too young an age. My condolences to his family and friends. This resource too is no longer available. Two other contributors no longer with us are Pete Baker and Martin Barrack, both of whom died in 2008. Thanks to Peter Gilmer from Australia for a huge bundle of Dylan rarities from his extensive collection, some of which were new to the site. Thanks to Dr Hanns Peter Bushoff of BMG Germany (now Sony BMG) for his sterling work in re-releasing obscure and rarely-heard cover versions of Dylan songs, especially the unreleased songs, and for providing complimentary copies of his CDs and other material. Also thanks to Roger Ford and Jeff Friedman for their discographies inside Robert Shelton's "No Direction Home: The Live & Music of Bob Dylan" (New English Library, 1987) and Bob Spitz's "Dylan; A Biography" (Michael Joseph, 1989).
	Thanks to Tim Dunn for his help with Dylan copyrights, for copies of his books, and for information from US "Goldmine" magazines. Buy the latest edition of Tim's book "The Bob Dylan Copyright Files 1962-2007" from amazon.com and all other Internet bookshops.
	Various issues of the UK "Record Collector" magazine, edited by Peter Doggett, have also proved very useful for supplying and verifying information for these pages . Thanks also to Jason Draper and Ian Shirley from "Record Collector". Thanks to David Burgess for supplying several articles from back issues from the 1980s onwards. Thanks also to David for providing scans and for the loan of the book "Bob Dylan: An Illustrated Discography" by Stuart Hoggard and Jim Shields.
	Thanks also to Derek and Tracy Barker of "Isis" magazine, and Ian Woodward, author of "The Wicked Messenger" diary, both sources of much information for these pages. A new arrival is Derek's book "The Songs He Didn't Write: Bob Dylan Under The Influence" (Chrome Dreams, 2008), which will be used to check the correct authorship of songs attributed to Bob in the "Starlight In The East - Bob Dylan's Unreleased Songs" section.
	It's also worth mentioning "The Bob Dylan Album File & Complete Discography" by Brian Hinton, a book which contains two very flattering references to this web-site, in the introduction on page 7 and in the section on " Websites and Fanzines" on page 449!
