New Morning: Bob Dylan 1970 Copyright Extension Release To Get Wider Release, 3CD Set Due in February

December 18, 2020 By Sam Stone 4 Comments

BobDylan 1970Collection

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

In a move that will no doubt excite Bob Dylan aficionados everywhere, on February 26, Legacy Recordings will release Bob Dylan: 1970 in a new, more widely available limited edition set with revised artwork and fresh liner notes by Michael Simmons.  The collection includes all the songs from this year's quietly announced copyright extension release.

It's an interesting move on the part of Legacy and Dylan's team.  Fans of the artist have come to expect micro-batches of 50 year old recordings to sneak out every December, pressed up for copyright protection reasons.  But these have typically been released in hard-to-find formats, scattered across record shops in Europe, or - as was the case this year and last - announced to little fanfare with every copy sold out in a nano-second.  (There have been exceptions to this practice, though, including the excellent Cutting Edge Bootleg Series box set  in a variety of formats, the 1966 tour box set, and last year's Travelin' Thru Bootleg Series collection.)

Crucially, this means the long-sought-after session with George Harrison from May 1, 1970 will now be made available, alongside 45 other outtake tracks recorded between March and August of that year. This includes an alternate take of "Went To See the Gyspy," which has been released as an instant-grat single - listen to it below!

Badlands Record Store in the U.K. (the usual retailer of choice for the ultra-limited releases) had the scoop on this slightly wider-release edition of Bob Dylan: 1970 and the set is available to order there.  You can also pre-order it at Your Local Record Shop, or use the Amazon links below, which will go live soon.  It's due February 26, 2021!

Sam Stone

Sam Stone has been obsessed with catalog music ever since his folks gave him a Contours best-of collection for his fourth birthday. He quickly began to learn all he could about rock and roll history and beyond, a passion that continues to this day. Sam followed his love for music to the classroom, earning a B.A. from Towson University in Electronic Media and Film, concentrating on radio and audio production, as well as an M.A. in Audio Arts from Syracuse University. He has put his knowledge and skills to work at prominent reissue labels and is excited to bring his perspectives on catalog music to a broader audience. When he’s not writing for The Second Disc, Sam can be found researching about music, talking about Joni Mitchell’s career, and adding another box set to his Amazon wish list.

    I'm weirdly more excited about the "Another Self Portrait Part 2" aspect of this release than the Harrison stuff, which I don't remember being all that great. Still, there will finally be justice for whichever of these takes of "Tomorrow Is a Long Time" has been circulation for years.

    A standalone CD release of the DYLAN album from 1973 would really wrap up this whole period very nicely.

      Meant to add that it's interesting this isn't coming out under the Bootleg Series umbrella. Presumably that's a good way to lower people's expectations.

      The 1973 "Dylan" album was released separately by Sony Music in Japan.

    This is probably my favorite Dylan album but this tracklisting doesn't look that inspiring to me for some reason. Hopefully it will be available on streaming so I can hear it before I buy it.
