THE LONESOME ORGAN GRINDER, UK

    Editor Phill Townsend. Started in September 1984 till July 1986.
    This newsletter's aim was at the beginning to fill the gaps between the meetings of a group of Dylan fans in Birmingham (UK). It was approximately bi-monthly and issues #1-4 were only available to members of that Birmingham Dylan Group.
    Issue #5 and #6 were published together with ISIS. For example, ISIS #5 was: THE LONESOME ORGAN GRINDER #5 (3 pages), then ISIS #5 (6 pages) and THE WICKED MESSENGER #239-247 (9 pages), all stapled together.
This continued through issues #6 and #7 of THE LONESOME ORGAN GRINDER, but issue #7 (July 1986) was the final one.
    The title is the first line of the song I Want You: The guilty undertaker sighs, The lonesome organ grinder cries...

    Thank you to Peter Oudejans, Tracy Barker and ISIS #210, where you can read the whole story of both the newsletter and the Birmingham meetings.
