Thanks to Ιamonn Σ Cathαin for information about 50th Anniversary Collection 1969, a very limited 2CD set in a fold-out card sleeve.

R-2154
One Too Many Mornings Take 2 with Johnny Cash,
Columbia Studio A, Nashville, TN, 18 Feb 1969 (4:01)
This was previously reported to be the take used with Bob's singing
replaced by the Avett Brothers for the compilation Chimes Of Freedom (R-0899,
see
2012). However, Steve Perrin states categorically that it
is not. He says: "This
is not the take used for the Avett Brothers track. On this particular take, Cash
sings the word commence in the first verse. On the Avett Brothers version,
Cash sings, As the night begins to fall. The original Dylan-Cash take, used as
the basis for the Avett Brothers overdubbed version, remains unreleased,
although it is available on bootlegs."
Martin Andrzejewki thinks this track (listed as Take 2) is most likely the same track that had already appeared on The Bootleg Series Vol. 15 - Travelin' Thru 1967-1969, CD2, track 3 (listed as Take 3)! Steve Perrin again says: "
Martin is correct: 50th AC D2T01 (Take 2) is the exact same performance as BS15 D2T03 (Take 3). It cuts off abruptly, before Cash starts to speak, but its definitely the same performance."R-2155 I Still Miss Someone (Johnny Cash/Roy Cash Jr.) Takes 1 & 3 with Johnny Cash, Columbia Studio A, Nashville, TN, 18 Feb 1969 (0:58)
R-2156
I Still Miss Someone (Johnny Cash/Roy Cash Jr.) Take 4 with Johnny Cash,
Columbia Studio A, Nashville, TN, 18 Feb 1969 (2:21)
Steve Perrin again says:
"This
track
is the exact same performance as Disc 2, track 6 of
The Bootleg Series Vol. 15 - Travelin' Thru 1967-1969.
Columbia has messed up again here with another superfluous duplication."
I have therefore removed R-2156 from the Rarities list.

R-2164
Guess Things Happen That Way Take 6 with Johnny Cash,
Columbia Studio A, Nashville, TN, 18 Feb 1969 (1:44)
Although this is very similar to Take 3 on
The Bootleg Series Vol. 15 - Travelin' Thru 1967-1969 (1:46),
which has a little more drumming at the end, Steve Perrin says
they are definitely different performances.
R-2165 Waiting for A Train Take 1 with
Johnny Cash,
Columbia Studio A, Nashville, TN, 18 Feb 1969 (0:55)
Sonny Boy McFitzson: "This is exactly the same as the leading 55sec of
Jimmie
Rodgers Medley No. 2 (Take 2) from
The Bootleg Series Vol. 15 - Travelin' Thru 1967-1969!".

Fred F. Carter, Norman Blake, Charlie Daniels: guitars
Bob Wilson: piano

Charlie McCoy: bass
Kenneth Buttrey: drums
Delores Edgin and Dottie Dillard: background vocals
* Running was thought to possibly be the 1956 country song Running Away by Floyd Tillman - it's now revealed to be a previously unreleased song by Bob (although apparently it is based on the Tillman song)! It was recorded for Self Portrait but not used, then planned to appear on the 1973 Dylan album, but finally dropped. It also didn't make The Bootleg Series Vol. 10 - Another Self Portrait (1969-1971) in 2013, or The Bootleg Series Vol. 15 - Travelin' Thru 1967-1969 in Nov 2019!
R-2166 Running -
Columbia Studio A, Nashville, TN, 26 Apr 1969 (2:27)
Sonny Boy McFitzson: "This one seems to be based upon the Floyd Tillman song, but
the chord structures and
lyrics were intentionally re-written by Bob as was often the case with a song
for Self Portrait."

Sonny Boy McFitzson: "CD2, tracks 14-17 - These tracks have slight wows & flutters and crackles, not master quality. The damages could be easily fixed but weren't just because they were rejected from the commercial tracklisting."
All songs written by Bob Dylan except I Still Miss Someone by Johnny Cash and Roy Cash, Jr.; Matchbox by Carl Perkins; Big River and I Walk the Line by Johnny Cash; Ring of Fire by June Carter and Merle Kilgore; Guess Things Happen That Way by Jack Clement; Waiting for a Train by Jimmie Rodgers; Take a Message to Mary by Felice Bryant and Boudleaux Bryant; Blue Moon by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart.
