The Best of the Cutting Edge

 



2025 Charity Shop Purchases #39 - Bob Dylan 1965-1966  The Best of the Cutting Edge  - The Bootleg Series Vol 12

I hit gold in the Sue Ryder shop in Newton Stewart. So much so that I have forgiven them for not winning their lottery that week.

I'm beginnig to amass a respectable collection of The Bootleg Series primarily from Charity Shops.Bob Dylan 1965-1966  The Best of the Cutting Edge - The Bootleg Series Vol12 takes my total up to 5 four of which have been charity jobs. A bargain for £1.25

As the title suggests it is mix of alternate takes, rehersals  and demos of songs from these two years. This was when Bob was at his absolute best  and includes versions of most, if not all, of the songs from my favourite Dylan album Highway 61 Revisited. (I've just checked and only versions of From a Buick Six and Ballad of a Thin Man are missing).

It is terrific stuff. Spoiler alert  - there might be something similar along shortly.


Bob Dylan - Queen Jane Approximately - Take 5 alternate take

Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited - Take 3 alternate take

Bob Dylan - Desolation Row - Take 1 alternate take
