NEW MORNING, Finland

   NEW MORNING was a Bob Dylan newsletter, privately publicated by Harri Huhtanen from 1994 to 2001, A4 size.

   Here are details by Harri Huhtanen:
   "NEW MORNING was a newsletter that I started in 1994. Internet was not common in Finland then and many of my friends didn't even have a computer. I collected current Dylan information and news, printed these newsletters with my home laserprinter and sent them via ordinary mail to my friends and subscribers everywhere in Finland.
    There were about 20-30 copies per issue, sent 10-15 times per year depending what was happening in the Dylan world.
     By 2001 almost everyone had a good Internet connection, so I stopped writing NEW MORNING by the issue 199b.
I had written Dylan news over 500 pages by then."

 

first issue (23 April 1994)

final issue (22 April 2001)

   The NEW MORNING issues were later bound together in 9 volumes:
   In 1996, after the Pori concert, Harri Huhtanen got emails from people all over Finland who had read his Dylan articles in RARE magazine and wanted to joint the NEW MORNING posting list. They didn't have the early issues and wanted them also, so he decided to collect them to books.
    There were only about 10 copies of each book; they were signed and sent to the new subscribers.
