Bob Dylan and Columbia Records announced they will be releasing Springtime in New York: The Bootleg Series, VOL. 16, a collection of recordings, and outtakes by Bob Dylan, Friday, Sept. 17.
This release of The Bootleg Series was recorded between 1980-85 and contains 57 audio tracks, 54 of which are previously unreleased on any format. The recordings come from Dylan when he was working on his albums Infidels, Empire Burlesque, and Shot of love.
The box set highlights, “an often-forgotten rich vein in Dylan’s vast and complex catalog, shining fresh light on the provocative new musical directions Dylan was taking as a songwriter,” according to a press release.
Springtime in New York: The Bootleg Series, VOL. 16 will come as a deluxe 5-CD package.
“Too Late,” a folky early version of “Foot of Pride” off Infidels has been released in advance of the set.
