Summary Dylan gave the lyrics to the founder of the legendary Folklore Center in Greenwich Village.
NEW YORK (AP) - The lyrics of two early unrecorded Bob Dylan songs have failed to find a buyer at a New York auction.
The typed lyrics including handwritten annotations were offered Thursday at Christie s.
The original 1962 "Talkin Folklore Center" manuscript was expected to fetch $40,000 to $60,000. The "Go Away You Bomb" lyrics from 1963 were estimated to bring $30,000 to $50,000.
Dylan gave the lyrics to the founder of the legendary Folklore Center in Greenwich Village. Izzy Young produced Dylan s first important concert in New York at the Carnegie Chapter Hall.
Dylan wrote "Talkin" after Young requested a song about the Folklore Center store.
"Go Away You Bomb" was written for an unpublished book Young was compiling of anti-nuclear songs.
The consignor must now decide what to do with the lyrics.
