‘The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 – The Cutting Edge 1965-1966’ è una compilation di album di registrazioni di Bob Dylan, risalenti agli anni 1965 e 1966 e mai realizzate prima di adesso. Provengono dagli album ‘Bringing It All Back Home’, ‘Highway 61 Revisited‘ e ‘Blonde on Blonde‘.
Ci sono tre diverse versioni di questa pubblicazione: un ‘best of’ con due dischi; un sei dischi ‘deluxe’ e un 18 dischi di sole 5mila copie che, però, è disponibile esclusivamente sul sito di Bob Dylan.
Registrazioni dal vivo che completano la visione sull’arte di Bob Dylan e rappresentano quel pezzetto di puzzle che ancora poteva mancare alla discografia di questo grande artista.
