No 1. Indies Detective Agency

While dragging through a folder of backups that's moved from computer to computer over the last decade, Jim found an image labeled "dylan_ideas.tif", and when we opened it, we saw this...

old Bob Dylan PR materials?

Here's what our advanced data mining tells us: It dates to the early '60s and is PR material, and searches of ancient mailboxes for mentions of Dylan produced only this unrelated gem.The first question is if it came from a relatively recent boxed set, or if it was an original document that somehow found a lap to fall into.Either way, it was scanned and forgotten. Anyone seen it before? Context? Are there any stories attached to this?

UPDATE: DMC says:

I found it! It's in the booklet (page 20) of the Bootleg Series Vol. 1-3 (rare and unreleased 1961 - 1991). It has the same picture as above, and is described as "Columbia Records' 1965 marketing suggestions."
