Springtime in New York: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 16 (1980-1985) is a compilation album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. It is the 14th installment in the ongoing Bootleg Series and was released on September 17, 2021, through Legacy Records.[1] Like previous installments in the series, the album comes in a two-CD standard edition and a five-disc deluxe edition.[2][3] In addition to the CD releases, a 2-LP and 4-LP were released, with the latter coming from Third Man Records.[4]

Springtime in New York contains rehearsals and outtakes from the sessions for Shot of Love (1981), Infidels (1983), and Empire Burlesque (1985). The set received positive reviews from critics, with praise being directed at the performances and stripped-back arrangements. The album reached number 40 in the US and number 6 in the UK.
