Bob Dylan didn't know documentary filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker when the singer-songwriter's manager, Albert Grossman, asked Pennebaker to accompany them on an early 1965 tour of England and film everything he saw.

And D.A. Pennebaker didn't know much about Dylan or his music, other than hearing Peter, Paul & Mary's version of “Blowin' in the Wind” and reading a review in Time magazine that said Dylan wasn't a very good folksinger.

But together Dylan and Pennebaker made Don't Look Back , which was released in 1967 and became one of the most influential films ever made about folk rock music and musicians.

Not only does this new DVD deluxe edition box set include a digitally remastered version of the original film, it comes with the 1968 companion book; a flip-book of photos from the movie's famous opening credits (where Dylan holds up cardboard cards with excerpts from the lyrics to “Subterranean Homesick Blues”); two alternate versions of these opening credits and five uncut audio tracks.

Most important, the DVD presents a new one-hour film, Bob Dylan 65 Revisited , consisting of Pennebaker's outtakes from the original movie.
