The latest in a long series of Bob Dylan bootleg collections was just announced by Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings. Bob Dylan fans can look forward to The Cutting Edge 1965-1966: The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 on November 6.

Available in two versions – a 2-CD/3-LP “best-of” option or a deluxe 6-CD edition – the sets draw from the sessions behind Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde On Blonde.

An “ultra deluxe,” 18-CD limited edition (5,000 copies worldwide) of the set will also be available exclusively on BobDylan.com.
