It includes rare Columbia Records outtakes, recordings made at club dates, in tiny informal gatherings, in friends’ apartments, and at jam sessions in long-gone musicians’ hangouts.
The 8CD Deluxe set features 139 tracks – 48 never-before released performances, as well as 38 super-rare cuts plus a hardcover book with extensive liner notes by Sean Wilentz and over 100 rare photographs.
The last two discs of the set consist of the unreleased complete recording of Dylan’s 1963 landmark show at Carnegie Hall, mixed from original tapes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does my order ship from?
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
When will I receive my order?
Delivery time depends on your shipping address and chosen postal service. Australian orders typically arrive within 5 days, while international orders take 14-28 days. You'll receive a notification with tracking details (if applicable) once your order ships.
Please note that during high-demand periods or when postal services experience unexpected delays, orders may take longer to arrive. These delays are beyond our control, and we cannot guarantee specific delivery timeframes.
Vinyl orders may require 3-5 business days for dispatch from our warehouse.
I purchased a pre-order item, when will I receive it?
Pre-order products will not ship from our warehouse until the release date specified on the product page.
If you've purchased a pre-order item along with other products, your entire order will ship only when all products are available. We cannot split orders or ship items separately.
Will I be charged bank fees if buying from outside of Australia?
All items are charged in Australian Dollars (AUD). If you complete an order using a non-Australian issued credit card, your bank may convert the order total into your local currency and charge additional fees to do so.
This charge and the conversion rate comes directly from your bank and is out of our control. Please check these details with your bank before placing your order.
