A great opportunity for Dylan collectors! This is the FIRST TIME this special UK film release promo poster has appeared in our auction! American film maker D.A. Pennebaker produced the documentary film “Don’t Look Back” utilizing footage from Bob Dylan’s legendary 1965-66 world tour. The movie was originally released in 1967 and contained the story behind Dylan’s transition from folk / acoustic “protest songs” to heavier electric rock. 


Dylan’s shift in musical style created a widely discussed subsequent backlash from fans & critics. In recent years some footage from Pennebaker’s “Don’t Look Back” film was included in Martin Scorsese's comprehensive Dylan documentary "No Direction Home".


This original poster for the UK re-release of the “Don’t Look Back” movie was produced in 1970 by designers Alan Aldridge and Harry Willock. British artist Alan Aldridge is known in the poster world for creating memorable images for The Beatles. He was given the nickname "The Man with the Kaleidoscope Eyes" after the verse in the song "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds". This beautiful & colorful poster seldom turns up in public auctions and we are pleased to offer an example that is free of any tears or pinholes!
