Full article:

Jac Holzman (founder, Elektra Records) : I went there in 1962 because I smelled that something was about to happen. LA was a backwater at that time, and I opened a small office out there. But I realised that I'd done it too early. Dylan brought me back to New York. I didn't think we could afford to miss another one of those.
