Columbia Records have announced details of Bob Dylan‘s The Cutting Edge 1965-1966: The Bootleg Series Nov. 12. The deluxe six-CD anthology will be released by Columbia Records/Legacy Recordings on November 6, and features previously unheard songs, outtakes, rehearsal tracks and alternate versions from the sessions for Bringing It all Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde On Blonde. All the recordings have been mixed from the original studio tracking tapes. The set includes an annotated book featuring rare and previously unseen photographs, memorabilia and new essays written by Bill Flanagan and Sean Wilentz.

An “ultra deluxe” 18-CD edition (available exclusively through BobDylan.com) includes every note recorded in the studio during the sessions. It will be limited to 5,000 copies worldwide, and has been mixed from the original studio tracking tapes, eliminating vestiges of the 1960s studio processing. Dylan’s original nine mono 45 RPM singles from the period are also included, packaged in newly created picture sleeves, along with rare hotel room recordings from London’s Savoy Hotel (May 4, 1965), the North British Station Hotel in Glasgow (May 13, 1966) and a Denver, Colorado hotel (March 12, 1966) as well as a strip of original film cels from Don’t Look Back.

Meanwhile a condensed version of the set will be released as The Best Of The Cutting Edge 1965-1966, in 2-CD and 3-LP sets.
