The draft lyrics for one of Bob Dylan’s most influential early songs is going up for auction next month.
Sotheby’s said on Tuesday it expects the manuscript of A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall to fetch £150,000 to £200,000 (Dh867,522-Dh1.1 million) at a September 29 London sale.
The auction house says Dylan typed out the lyrics, and made amendments in ink, in a room above the Gaslight Folk Club in New York’s Greenwich Village in 1962. It says the revisions show the creative process behind the landmark song, which portends a revolutionary or cataclysmic change.
