3CD releases: Columbia/Legacy/Sony Music 19439856412 (USA/Canada), 26 Feb 2021; Columbia/Legacy/Sony Music 19439856412 (Europe), 26 Feb 2021; Sony Music SICP 31421~3 (Japan), 26 Feb 2021. This set was previously released on 4 Dec 2020 in Europe only as 50th Anniversary Collection 1970 (see 2020). It will still apparently be a limited release so the 74 tracks it contains remain rarities and the contents of this page are also listed in 2021. |

The front photo was used for several European single releases of Watching The River Flow in 1971 and for the rear of the booklet with both 3LP and 3CD versions of The Bootleg Series Vol. 15 - Travelin' Thru 1967-1969 in 2019.
Thanks to Sonny Boy McFitzson for pointing out that 25 Feb 2021 would have been George Harrison's 78th birthday, something not mentioned in the release's booklet. Also, the font used for this release is called Napoli Serial.
3CD Tracklist (songs in red were not previously on a regular Dylan album):
CD1:
CD2:
CD3:
Thanks to Éamonn Ó Catháin for pointing out this new set is slightly different from 50th Anniversary Collection 1970: Day Of The Locust -Take 2, formerly CD2, track 24, wrongly dated 1 Jun 1970, is now CD3, track 23 and correctly dated 12 Aug 1970. This now agrees with Michael Krogsgaard's dating. The new set also corrects a mistake whereby two tracks, CD3, tracks 21 and 22, were repeated as CD3, tracks 1 and 2. The two missing tracks from 2 Jun 1970 are now included correctly as CD3, tracks 1 and 2. These are listed in 2021 as R-2300 and R-2301.
Thanks to Sonny Boy McFitzson, Éamonn Ó Catháin and Arie de Reus for information.
