Às vésperas do Reveillon, no dia 28/12, A Sony lançou quase que secretamente um disco quádruplo intitulado “The 50th Anniversary Collection”. O álbum trás uma compilação de gravações e versões ao vivo feitas por Bob Dylan entre 1962 e 1963.
Muitos podem pensar que a Sony quis nos presentear com esse lançamento, mas a preocupação da gravadora é outro: esse disco tem como objetivo renovar os direitos fonográficos dessas gravações, evitando que os registros se tornem domínio público e possam ser usados livremente.
A distribuição se resumiu em algumas lojas da Inglaterra, França, Alemanha e Suécia e em pouquíssimas quantidades.
Dois CDs são só de faixas de estúdio e outros dois discos compilam apresentações ao vivo de Bob Dylan.
O site Exystence deu mais detalhes jurídicos sobre a estratégia da gravadora e ainda disponibilizou o disco para download.
