Between the Covers

Softcover. Proof sheets for the lyrics for the album *Dry Dreams,* released by the Jim Carroll Band on Atco Records in 1982. Three legal-sized pages, with the printed lyrics to the 10 songs, and holograph emendations in pencil to the song "Barricade." Stapled in upper corner, previously folded in quarters with some lettering lost at the creases, else near fine. Signed by Carroll, along with a copyright symbol on the verso of the final page. *Dry Dreams* was the Jim Carroll Band's third album. Carroll had been a published poet since the 1960s and his most famous book, the memoir *The Basketball Diaries,* was published in 1978. He did not record an album until 1980, after Patti Smith encouraged him to try his hand at music. Scarce and likely unique.
