"This stunning collection of Schatzberg's most famous sessions is a must for any serious Dylan collector. Before the days of digital photography and airbrush, these exquisite reproductions bring out texture and detail like never seen before. Their powerful simplicity, beauty and humour is sure to dazzle fans and novices alike."

Todd Haynes / Writer, Director "I'm Not There: Suppositions On A Film Concerning Dylan".

'JERRY SCHATZBERG IS A MASTER OF IMAGE MAKING. HIS SKILL AS A FILM MAKER IS UNQUESTIONABLE. HIS PHOTOGRAPHS HAVE A TIMELESS QUALITY: NOT ONE HAS DATED, AND YET SOME OF THESE IMAGES ARE SO ICONIC IT SEEMS THEY HAVE ALWAYS EXISTED.

The decision to use the shot he did on the cover of Blonde on Blonde was one of pure art and extremely brave. Few photographers would allow such an image to be used, even now. From the outtakes, we can see that all the other shots on the roll of film are technically stronger but, with hindsight, do not have the same impact.

For most photographers, that one photo would be enough, but Jerry has an unbelievable and largely unseen archive: actors, musicians, politicians, royalty, catwalk models, and the man in the street. All Jerry's subjects demand equal attention. With many photographs, the subject matter often compensates for the art; here we have the very best of both.'
