Page "Bob Dylan (album)" Paragraph 20

The album did not initially sell well either, and Dylan was for a time known as " Hammond's Folly " in record company circles.

Mitch Miller, Columbia's chief of A & R at the time, said US sales totaled about 2500 copies.

Bob Dylan remains Dylan's only release not to chart at all in the US, though it eventually reached # 13 in the UK charts in 1965.

Despite the album's poor performance, financially it was not disastrous because the album was very cheap to record.
