Como se rumoreaba, la nueva entrega de la “Bootleg Series” de Bob Dylan estará dedicada al periodo 1965-1966, en el que se grabaron “Bringing It All Back Home”, “Highway 61 Revisited” y “Blonde on Blonde”. “The Cutting Edge 1965-1966: The Bootleg Series Vol. 12” será publicado el 6 de noviembre. Estará disponible en tres formatos: un doble CD, una caja de seis CDs, y una caja de dieciocho CDs.
Contiene maquetas, tomas alternativas y descartes, como una versión eléctrica de ‘Mr. Tambourine Man’ grabada meses antes de que los Byrds lanzasen la suya, o varios cortes de “Blonde on Blonde” grabados con miembros de The Band antes de que Dylan decidiese utilizar a músicos de Nashville.
