His protest songs made him the figurehead of the anti-establishment 
movement that defined America during the 1960s. But yesterday Bob Dylan 
was facing accusations of selling out after it emerged the singer had 
agreed an exclusive deal to sell some of his rarest tracks at Starbucks, 
the coffee shop chain targeted by anti-globalisation protesters as a 
symbol of American cultural dominance.

Bob Dylan: Live at the Gaslight 1962 features the much sought-after 
material recorded at the Gaslight Cafe in Manhattan's Greenwich Village, 
a focal point of the folk revival in the early 1960s. Tracks include 
rare versions of A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall and Don't Think Twice It's 
Alright, as well as folk standards Barbara Allen and The Cuckoo.
