R-0102-4 Big Yellow Taxi (Joni Mitchell) - from the now deleted album Dylan, see 1973
The other tracks on the EP are Handy Dandy from Under The Red Sky, Man In The Long Black Coat from Oh Mercy and Knockin' On Heaven's Door from Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid - all the regular album versions. Of course, Big Yellow Taxi is not a "Dylan Original" composition, although it can certainly be said to be a "Dylan Original" performance! The reverse of the front insert is blank, and the rear insert has details of Bob's concert dates at the SECC, Glasgow, and the Hammersmith Odeon, London, in Feb 1991. It also has details of nine older Dylan albums just released on CD in 1991 - these include Dylan (A Fool Such As I) (again see 1973), although as far as I know it was never actually released in the UK on CD. The CD itself has the Columbia logo and "PROMO CD" vertically just to the left of the centre hole.
This CD single was made in the UK by PDO, and my copy today is very badly discoloured, although it still plays perfectly. My copy of Unbelievable also has this "bronzing" discolouration, common to discs made by PDO in the UK between 1988 and 1993, although again it still plays perfectly. For other UK CDs made by PDO between 1989 and 1993, see International Singles: Singles & EPs 1987-89, International Singles: Singles & EPs 1990-1999 and International Releases (Dylan-Only Compilations) 1990s.
Thanks to Erik Grobet for placing this entry correctly in 1991. Hervé from France has this EP in a limited edition box together with The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3. Hans Seegers says this item, though very attractive, is actually unofficial.
"Special Audio Buyway featuring excerpts from Bob Dylan/The Rolling Stones" - in-store promotional cassette, Columbia 47382 (USA), Jan 1991:
 Columbia 47382 (USA) - outside of cassette insert, scan by Gerd Rundel |
R-0535 Excerpts of songs from The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3 on promo cassette - the songs are as listed on the insert (below left) except for an unlisted excerpt from Suze (The Cough Song) This cassette has Bob Dylan with tracks from The Bootleg Series (Rare & Unreleased) 1961-1991 and the Rolling Stones with tracks from Flashpoint. Commentary is by DJ Kid Leo, formerly of Radio WMMS, Cleveland, OH, but by then a Columbia Records employee. There is no interview material. This is not, as previously reported, a projected radio broadcast, but an in-store promotional item prepared by Kid Leo on behalf of Columbia Records - apparently there were several similar Columbia "Special Audio Buyway" tapes. Thanks to Anthony Pignataro for finding this item on eBay and to Gerd Rundel for scans. Anthony's copy has the same insert but a plain white cassette with no text (not shown), Gerd's is as shown with a transparent smoked grey cassette case and white text. Thanks to Tim Dunn for the correcting the previous entry, and for the information that "Kid Leo" is now Vice President of Special Products and Artist Development at Columbia Records under his real name of Lawrence James Travagliante. |

R-0203 Series Of Dreams - edit of track from The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3 (4:52 - second verse missing, but with a clear start, not the cross-fade on The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3) Thanks to John Harju for reminding me that the Bootleg Series version fades in as the previous track, "When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky", fades out. This doesn't happen on the Greatest Hits 3 version. For all the officially-released versions of Series Of Dreams, see below. The other 11 tracks on the sampler CD and cassette are the versions from the boxed set. The cassette has a clear plastic case with white text, there are no paper labels. Thanks to Manuel García Jara for information and scans. |

Comments by Steve Perrin:
"I was recently inspired to listen to the 5 Tracks from the Bootleg Series Volumes 1-3 European promo CD, and read your 1991 entry, where you state that the version of “Series of Dreams” on this disc is a, “... full-length alternate take with lyric differences ....” There are certainly lyric differences in the second verse, but I’m convinced that the rest of the song is the exact same basic take as on the box set, save for the clean start.
| The promo version has these lines
in the second verse: Thinking of a
series of dreams |
Whereas the box set version has
the lines: Thinking of a series of
dreams |
The published lyrics are:
Thinking of a series of dreams |
Note that the promo version has the correct rhyming scheme (drag/bag), whereas the box set version does not (drag/eyes). The line ending with ”eyes” was supposed to rhyme with “fly“, as per one of the circulating bootleg vocal takes. Aside from these two lines, the versions are identical, phrasing and all. It is my conclusion that these two lines were punched in from an alternate vocal take, and whoever did so either didn’t notice, or didn’t care, that the rhyming scheme was ruined as a result. Of course, the line ending with “direction” goes on to rhyme with “connection”, which is pleasing to the ear, and possibly the reason why this vocal punch-in was completed in the first place."
This promo CD was also included in a Columbia Records exclusive 4CD limited edition box set which had the 3CDs of The Bootleg Series plus this sampler, together with a numbered certificate limited to 1300 copies for Europe only, plus a booklet, in a blue wooden presentation box with illustrated lid. The set shown is #0694. The box was made in the UK. For more details of the regular CD set, see below.
Thanks to Hans Seegers for scans of the promo CD single. Thanks to Hervé from France for the box photos and to Steve Perrin for information,.

R-0203-3 Series Of Dreams - 4:49 edit of version on The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3 (5:52)
Onno Mastenbroek reports that the Series Of Dreams promotional video had a different edit, not the same as this - any further information?
The 12" single version is reported to be the full Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3 version (5:52, without the cross-fade) - more information required! Alan Hoaksey also reports a promo 12" version - more details required also! The B-side of the 7" single and the second track on the 2-track CD singles was Seven Curses. Ralph Austin reports a rumoured 4-track CD single, CBS 656707-5, but it seems not to have been released. I have also had reports of a UK single CBS 656707-7 but I have not found it so far. My copy was made in Holland.
Thanks to Tom Willems for a "Sony Music Presents" promo letter sent out with the Dutch single from Holland to German addresses.
Thanks to Hans Seegers, Peter Good and Brian Clarke for information and scans.

R-0212 Series Of Dreams - edit (5:37) This final track is
5:37 on the UK CD version of this boxed set (in the 12"
LP-sized box), but 5:52 with a longer fadeout on the cassette and
vinyl version. I'm informed by Tracy Zank that the US
"long box" format of the set has this track at 5:52. Thanks to Derek Davies for confirming that the track on his copy plays at 5:37, even though it is listed as 5:52 on the CD3 rear insert and CD3 itself. |

The 1994 single album Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. 3 has the 5:54 version (see 1994 for the CD-Plus release), as has the jewel-case 1997 UK reissue of The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3. For details of these, see International Albums (Regular). The regular CD singles, Columbia 656 707-2 (Australia) and CBS 656 707-5 (Austria for Europe) and the 12" single have the regular full-length version, but without the cross-fade start, as now on Greatest Hits Vol. 3 (see International Singles 1990s.
To summarise, there are three officially released takes of Series Of Dreams (two from 1991 and an alternate take that appeared in 2008). The first take occurs in six versions!
1 The regular US album version which occurs in five variants as follows:
1A 5:52 with cross-fade start on the US CD and other releases (not a rarity)
1B 5:52 with slow fade-in on Columbia Canada promo CD Radio Sampler Vol. 26, 1991 (R-1982)
1C Version on the 1991 UK CD version of The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3, 5:37 edit of (1A) with cross-fade start (R-0212)
1D The 12" and commercial CD single version, 5:54, (1A) without cross-fade start (not a rarity because it was released on Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. 3 in 1994)
1E The first promo CD and 7" single version, 4:49-4:52 edit of the album version (1A) with second verse missing and without cross-fade start (R-0203)
1F The promotional video edit of (1A) (4:22) (R-0676 - appeared on a Brazilian DVD in 2004, see Questionable Video)
2 The second promo CD version from the European 5-track CD sampler above, full-length alternate take with lyric differences, also without cross-fade start (R-0204, 5:52, see Steve Perrin's comments above)
3 The second full-length alternate take (6:27) from The Bootleg Series Vol. 8 - Tell Tale Signs: Rare And Unreleased 1989-2006, released in 2008
There are also two more unreleased alternate takes that circulate amongst Dylan collectors, one of which matches the published lyrics (which none of the officially released takes do) and a so-called "fast" version. This is how I understand the situation, if anyone has any further information, please let me know.
Thanks to Peter van der Kerk and Michel Pomarede for information and to Hans Seegers, David Burgess, Derek Davies and Steve Perrin for further information and scans about the 3CD release with the free T-shirt.

Many expert ears have listened to this track and failed to identify the Dylan song (which is not specified in the copyright registration)! However, in "The Bob Dylan Copyright Files Supplement 1", a June 2001 addition to his book "The Bob Dylan Copyright Files", Tim Dunn identified the song, based on his knowledge of SESAC work numbers, as I'll Be Your Baby Tonight from John Wesley Harding.

Bob plays harmonica and gets a name check in the lyrics ("Mister D") This track from Roger's self-titled 1973 Columbia album (see 1973) is also on the 1977 Japanese promo LP Mr. D's Collection # 1 (see 1977). The US and European artwork is virtually identical, although the US CD has a distinctive design whilst the European CD has a generic design. According to Rob van Estrik this version of R-0095 is remastered and thus recommended over the version on the original 1973 album. |

The CD is silver with red text and scans badly. It was made in Canada! This was because there was at the time no CD manufacturing plant in Argentina, and discs were imported from the USA or Canada.
