Earlier this week, while I was filling in some holes/upgrading my Dylan collection when I just stumbled on this Wikipedia page that listed the songs missing from Side Tracks, the 2CD/3LP set that was issued with 2012's Complete Album Collection's Missing Songs. I thought this would be quick and simple, but when dealing with The Bard's discography, it's never that simple. The first attempt had only the added songs from the Wiki page, and 1978's Renaldo and Clara 12" promo. Looking deeper, that wasn't going to cut it.
This version, though, comes much closer to doing the intended job. So the idea here is to collect ALL of the Bard's commercially released recordings through 2012 that has never made it onto an LP/CD, and put it together in a way that is interesting, instructive, and listenable. Mix variations, single edits, session work, duets on other artist's records, and, most importantly, anything that had to do with the Bootleg series was not part of this project.
This is part one, now 60 tracks and divided out to four CDs, all tagged with original covers. I haven't given it all a spin yet, but the lineup looks both playable and relatively complete. Virtually all is @320.
BTW, "**" means this is a track not originally included on Side Tracks.
One more thing - I'm not anywhere near an expert on Bob. There could be some oversights. Should you notice any (that fit within the parameters above), please let me know!

And now here's the live co-compilation to the 60 track version of Side Tracks (Deluxe). In keeping with the original parameters, only officially released but uncollected on Bob's LPs/CDs are included. Taken together this should be virtually all anyone would need to complete their Dylan collection and should also be enjoyable.
All but very few tracks are 320, but all are tagged with original art. If I missed something important (looking at you Suds!) please let me know. "Discs" four and five compile all of his 1996-00 live single B-sides, making for a nice collection by itself. Enjoy!

Hi, I only just found your fine blog today, a big thanks for this massive collection of Bob.
Super blog! I found it a couple of days ago and immediately took a boggle-eyed shufti at your Bob Dylan's Sidetracks collection. I could barely believe what you'd put together - but hearing is believing. Huge thanks, I'm enjoying the Concert for Bangla Desh as I type.
One question, if I may ask, is where does the "Troubled, But I Don't Know Why" come from? I don't think it's from Newport - I can identify the other three Newport tracks as being from the 2 Vanguard LPs ("The Evening Concerts Volume 1" & "Newport Broadsides") but there's no sign of a Newport "Troubled" version that I can find, anywhere online. I'm wondering if it's from Joan Baez's Vanguard "Rare, Live and Classic" box set (the same as found on the "Even Harder To Find" CD)? Which would mean that it would be from Forest Hills, Aug 17th 1963?
Whatever, it sounds great and I love what you've done with this collection.
Thanks again,
Simon M
Thank you for your great job in bringing these material so fabulous and also by share with everyone. May you live many years enjoying it.
Please add Yandex to Sidetracks 3-4.
Zippyshare is not working.
Thank you!
@ Anon Link appears to be working but Yandex has been added. Good luck!
Yandex is working fine.
Thank you so much for the immediate help,
BlackFrank.
The Dylan posts are just outstanding. Shame they're not FLAC, but outstanding all the same. Mnay thanks for your hard work and dedication. -M.
Thank you very much for your reworkings of Side Tracks! It helps a lot since so much was left out of the original, especially since you included the live stuff too.
Thanks a lot! Could you pls add Yandex to the live links: zipps does not work in some countries...
Kind regards - Carlos
@ Anon, Yandex added for Side Tracks Live. Thanx for pointing it out
Fantastic collection, thanks for sharing, a big job to compile! I did notice one omission, which is Return to Me, a Dean Martin cover recorded for The Sopranos in 2001. I believe it is available on the Pepper and Eggs CD.
This is fantastic - came for the Kate Bush, stayed for the Dylan! Just a heads up that the 1999 Chimes Of Freedom on the 4th disc (#56) is full of glitches, and the odd skip. There're a couple of live tracks which're the same to a lesser extent, but it's a minor issue compared to the convenience of having this all in one place!
Only the zippy link for 3-5 is working. Can you add a new link for the rest of the set?
Yes please for re-ups of Live discs 1 & 2
Fantastic!
All Zippyshare links work except for discs 1-2 in the second collection. Please repair the links so we can enjoy both sets!
Thank you!
Hi there, this looks amazing but Zippyshare seems blocked and Yandex not there anymore. Any chance you could reup the Yandex link?
Hello. Would you please re-up these two collections? Both look awesome. Thanks very much.
Thank you for all your work on this wonderful blog. Sadly none of the links on this page are working. If you get a chance and would be so kind... Thanks!
I would love to know how/where I can purchase the deluxe expanded BF edition of Side Tracks sehli@msn.com
I'd like to add to the chorus of voices asking for these to be re-upped.
A re-up of this would be so appreciated.
Another fan begging for a re-up. Thanks!
