This track also appears on the Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers MCA compilation Anthology: Through The Years, see 2000, and the Geffen compilation The Best Of Everything, see 2019.

R-0153-2 Pledge My Head To Heaven (Keith Green) - Bob plays harmonica

This Sparrow version is the original mix from So You Wanna Go Back To Egypt... (see 1980), not the "inferior" remixed version from I Only Want To See You There (R-0160, see 1983).

SPD 1146 is in an old-style double-width 2CD jewel case, SPD 1558 is in a new-style single-width 2CD jewel case. This album and its Vol. 2 companion that does not include Bob are still in print (SPD 1558). The Dutch release was made by EMI in Uden, Holland, for European distribution.

R-0190-2 The Factory (Warren Zevon) - Bob plays harmonica on the B-side of these 7" singles of the title track from the Sentimental Hygiene album

There is also a Sentimental Hygiene US promo 12" single (PR 2033) and CD single (PRCD 2033). These have just the album version and an edit of the title track and are therefore not Dylan rarities. For more US and UK singles with this track, see 1988.

CBS 460001 1 (Australia) - Side 1 with R-0191, scan by Stuart Moore

The Turkish cassette release was made in Turkey by Uzellr on behalf of CBS Records. It has a short insert and a transparent grey cassette with white CBS labels. The Usual is misspelled "The Unusual" on the outside of the insert, but is correct on the inside of the insert. However, Beau Hill's name is misspelled as "Beau Bill" on the inside of the insert.

All these CD releases are out-of-print and very hard to find today!

CDs were released in the USA, Holland (made in Austria) and Japan only. The rear sleeve of the UK LP (see above) says the album is available "on cassette and compact disc", but apparently a CD was never released in the UK. However, it may have been intended originally to release the Austrian-made CD there.

The Dutch CD uses the first design from the CBS Austrian pressing plant. The Japanese CD has a yellow/black obi.

Got My Mind Made Up from Knocked Out Loaded, the regular album version, was on the B-sides of both the 7" and 12" singles. Anthony Craig's copy of the UK 12" has a promo stamp - my copy of the commercial release is identical apart from missing the stamp.

The second song on the B-side of the 12" single is listed on the UK 12" as They Killed Him (written by Kris Kristofferson) from Knocked Out Loaded on the sleeve and label but plays Driftin' Too Far From Shore (also from Knocked Out Loaded, though actually an Empire Burlesque out-take). The sleeve and label are correct, the record was mispressed. The Dutch and Spanish 12" single have the same two tracks listed, and correctly play They Killed Him.

The front of the Dutch and Spanish 12" single (promo and commercial) has the extra words "MAXI SINGLE - 45RPM" above "BOB DYLAN".

The Precision Lacquer acetate is double-sided and dated "08/07/87". The Precision Lacquer copper master is single-sided and of Side 2 only, dated "11/16/87". Shenandoah is misspelled "Shannondoah" on all three masters. The PCM 1630 cartridge is dated "11/17/87". PCM 1630 was a high-quality professional digital audio tape format that used ¾" tape in a videotape cassette - it was superseded in the 1990s by DAT, which uses a much smaller tape cartridge. For the second version, see below. I previously had this listed as the second release, but the dates on this (16 and 17 Nov 1987) and the other master below (3 Dec 1987) now show the correct sequence.

R-0195 Let's Stick Together (Wilbert Harrison) - slightly longer fade out (3:10 - released track is 3:08)

R-0196 Got Love If You Want It (James Moore - "Slim Harpo") - this was replaced by Death Is Not The End on the final release

R-0194 Important Words (Gene Vincent/Bill Davis) - this was replaced by The Usual from the Hearts of Fire film soundtrack (see above) on the second version of the album, and was itself replaced by the new version of Had A Dream About You, Baby on the final release in May 1988 - see International Albums (Regular).

The track listing of the first promo release was:
Side 1 - Let's Stick Together (longer fade-out); When Did You Leave Heaven?; Got Love If You Want It; Ninety Miles An Hour (Down A Dead End Street); Sally Sue Brown.
Side 2 - Ugliest Girl In The World; Silvio; Important Words; Shenandoah; Rank Strangers.

The first promo cassette of this album also had this tracklisting - scans required.!"

The rumour at the time was that Down In The Groove was intended by Bob to be a double album but was cut down to a single album by Columbia. Certainly promos were released with these two alternative track listings before the final track list was decided and the album was eventually released in Jun 1988. Got Love If You Want It, Important Words and The Usual (see below) were replaced, and there are several unreleased covers from the sessions in circulation which may have been planned for inclusion on a two disc set. However, I have yet to see any physical evidence of anything other than a single album, so any "culling" must have been done before masters were created.

Thanks to Arie de Reus for the scans of the acetate, and to Keith Venturoni and Larry Crum for finding the latter two items on eBay.
