There must be hundreds of these albums from round the world! If you have any entries to add to the list or additions/corrections to existing entries, please let me know!
Please note I cannot value your Dylan rarities - see the Mission page for reasons why. Contact the dealers on my Trading page for assistance!
This is a separate multi-year list by release date of commercially-released Various Artist stereo compilation albums released in 1993 that have been referred to me but do not qualify for my Searching For A Gem list because they contain only Bob Dylan performances which are available on officially released Dylan albums. Nevertheless, their interest value or scarcity means they're worth listing here - as far as I know some are not included on any other Internet site. Promo-only Various Artist compilation albums with Dylan tracks and Radio Station Albums are included here also. Other International Albums and Compilations are now here:

Columbia/Sony Music 1-981.799 (Brazil) - front scan by Sergio Mariano Romay |
This compilation including Like A Rolling Stone from Highway 61 Revisited on Side 1 was produced by Sony Music Produtos Especiais [Sony Music Special Products]. Full marks to Sergio Mariano Romay for noticing that the front picture is taken from the photo on the front of Neil Young's 1983 Reprise album Freedom! This is ironic since Neil is not represented on the album. |

scan by Sergio Mariano Romay
The record has orange Columbia labels. Unusually for a Brazilian record label, there is no C.G.C. (tax) number printed on the record labels to the left of the centre hole ("C.G.C." means in Portuguese "Cadastro Geral de Contribuinte [General Taxpayer Registration]"). The copyright number in brackets after Like A Rolling Stone on the Side 1 label is the same that is printed on the Side 1 label of the earlier Brazilian compilation Bob Dylan The Legend, see 1983. Like A Rolling Stone is code "60559063" and the same number appears on both record labels.
The release year of this compilation is absent from the sleeve (front and rear) and also from the record labels. However, it is present in the faintly handwritten matrix numbers on both sides: Side 1 - 1-981 799 A XSLP - 2094 (P) 1993, Side 2 - 1-981 799 B XSLP - 2095 (P) 1993.
