Info:
An 18CD Collector's Edition of The Cutting Edge 1965-1966: The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 will be available exclusively on bobdylan.com. Limited to a worldwide pressing of only 5,000 copies, this 18CD edition will include every note recorded during the 1965-1966 sessions, every alternate take and alternate lyric. All previously unreleased recordings have been mixed, utilizing the original studio tracking tapes as the source, eliminating unwanted 1960s-era studio processing and artifice. The 18CD edition includes Dylan's original nine mono 45 RPM singles released during the time period, packaged in newly created picture sleeves featuring global images from the era. The limited edition includes rare hotel room recordings from the Savoy Hotel in London (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."

Ultimate Classic Rock:
The next installment of the Bob Dylan's heralded Bootleg Series will focus on the development of his electric sound in two crucial years during the '60s.

The Cutting Edge 1965-1966: The Bootleg Series Vol. 12, due on Nov. 6, includes early demos, alternative versions and outtakes from a period that saw Dylan release Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde. Those sessions produced signature tracks including "Like a Rolling Stone," "Subterranean Homesick Blues" and "Visions of Johanna."

"At the beginning, most songs were fairly shapeless," Dylan sideman Al Kooper says in the new issue of Rolling Stone, which will be available Friday. "Only little by little did they come together."

Expected highlights include Bob Dylan's early attempt at a plugged-in version of "Mr. Tambourine Man," months prior to the Byrds crafted a breakout hit with it. A take on "Visions of Johanna" includes alternate lyrics. And the whirlwind sessions for "Like a Rolling Stone" are comprehensively explored.

There are also early Blonde on Blonde tracks featuring future members of the Band, recorded before Dylan changed direction and decided to use a group of Nashville musicians. Those sessions differed greatly from the more loosely organized Highway 61 Revisited, said Kooper, who unexpectedly found himself sitting in on organ for "Like a Rolling Stone."

The Cutting Edge 1965-1966: The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 will be available in three different editions: an economical two-disc size, an expanded six-disc version and a massive 18-disc package, which includes, among other things, sessions for "Like a Rolling Stone."
Two snips can be heard here.
