This yearly page now contains only the main Rarities List! Because "The Essential Bob Dylan" (2000) has been added to the bobdylan.com Albums Page, all items containing this year's new song Things Have Changed are no longer rarities, and have been moved to the corresponding pages in International Stereo Releases. Promotional Items (Albums and Singles) are now here. All Honourable Mentions are now here.

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!

Gabrielle - "Rise" - CD releases: Go! Beat (PolyGram) 07314 549 758-2 (UK), CD release: Go! Beat/Universal 314-547-768-2 (USA), Go! Beat 549 801 2 (Australia), Jan 2000; Cassette release: Go! Beat 07314 547 768 4 (4) (Australia), 2000:


Go! Beat 07314 547 758-2 (UK) - album scan from Ole Lien

R-0359 Rise (Bob Dylan/Gabrielle/F. Unger-Hamilton/Ollie Dagois) - a looped sample from the start of the version of Knockin' On Heaven's Door from the Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid soundtrack is used throughout this song, which was #1 in the UK singles chart for several weeks from 30 Jan 2000.

This sample was used with Bob's full agreement, and he is reported to have been so pleased with the result that he waived 50% of his royalties!

Thanks to Ole Lien and Jack from Canada for scans and special thanks to Peter Gilmer for the Australian copy. The Australian CD has tiny text round the circumference of the disc saying "MADE IN AUSTRALIA", there is no country indication on the inserts. Thanks to Stuart Moore for scans of the Australian cassette release, which was made in Malaysia.

The UK promo CD single just has the album track and came in an orange card sleeve. It is dated "1999" but included here to keep all the entries together.

The US promo CD single has four tracks including the album track and two other mixes of Rise plus an acoustic version and came in a jewel case with blue inserts. The two alternate mixes of Rise and the acoustic version do not contain the Dylan sample. As this single is promoting the US album release on 15 Aug 2000, it must date from Jul/Aug 2000.

Cruzados - " Unreleased Early Recordings" - privately produced CD: (no catalogue number) (USA), Feb 2000:
Although this CD is not an "official" CD in the sense that it was not issued by a record company, it is also not a bootleg as some have reported. The CD was privately produced by the band themselves and can only be obtained from the Cruzados' official web-site


Front picture from Cruzados web-site (variant 1)

R-0452 Rising Sun (Hufsteter/Larriva/Marsico/Quintana) - Bob plays harmonica for the Cruzados (then the Plugz), Cherokee Studios, Hollywood, CA, 1983 (4:40)
A re-recorded version of this song without Bob was released on the first Cruzados album just called Cruzados (Arista
ARCD 8383 (CD)/AC 8-8383 (LP), 1985).

Peter Oudejans has a CD-R variant with different artwork. Bob is credited on the rear insert.

R-0452 was included on the BMG Germany 2CD compilation May Your Song Always Be Sung: The Songs Of Bob Dylan Vol. 3, see 2003. It also appears on the 2007 US Bird Song Records soundtrack album for the 2005 film Camp Burlesque, see 2007, but is not in the film itself (included in VHS & DVD 2000s Part 3 for completeness).

Bob Dylan & The Plugz - bootleg cassette picture from Bandcamp web-site

The Cruzados were previously known as the Plugz, and accompanied Bob on the NBC TV show "Late Nite With David Letterman" in New York on 22 Mar 1984 for three songs: Don't Start Me Talkin' (the Sonny Boy Williamson blues number), Jokerman and License To Kill. A three track EP called Bob Dylan & The Plugz circulated after that, and this EP is definitely a bootleg! License To Kill from 22 Mar 1984 is included on CD5 of the 5CD Deluxe Edition of The Bootleg Series Vol. 16 - Springtime In New York 1980-1985, 2021, as well as LP4 of the 4LP Third Man vinyl set.

Hollywood Records HR-62188-2 (USA) - front scan by Hans Seegers
R-0446 Most Of The Time - this version was reportedly remastered from the original 1989 Oh Mercy version

Oh Mercy was one of three Dylan albums that were remastered in 1997 but which were not released in the remastered CD format at the time. This track appeared to be from that master. It has now been superseded by the remastered hybrid SA-CD release of Oh Mercy.

Warner Bros A44127 (USA) - front of card sleeve, scan by Hans Seegers
R-0156-4 Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground (Willie Nelson) - Infidels out-take, B-side of single

This reference CD single comes in both a card sleeve with the reverse plain and a jewel case with just a front insert, again plain on the reverse. The version in the jewel case does not have a catalogue number. The title of this song is shown incorrectly as "Angels Flying...". For original releases of this single, see 1983 (some of those got the title wrong, too!). It has never appeared on CD, and is described here as "From Vinyl Source". The CD is dated 5 May 2000.


Warner Bros A44127 (USA) - CD scan by Hans Seegers

This single was made for use in the film "Vanilla Sky" (released in 2001). Sadly this song was not used in the film, and 4th Time Around, the live version from The Bootleg Series Vol. 4: Live 1966, The "Royal Albert Hall" Concert, was used instead.

For the 2001 audio soundtrack album, see International Album Releases (Various Artist Compilations) 2001.

The front picture was also used for The Very Best Of Bob Dylan below, and also in the 2003 SA-CD edition of Blood On The Tracks. Gerd Rundel's Limited Edition copy has an extra front sticker with German tour dates for May 2000.

R-0299 Things Have Changed from The Wonder Boys soundtrack, lyrics on bobdylan.com here
Now no longer a rarity since it is included in The Essential Bob Dylan (2000) on the bobdylan.com albums page.

R-0273 Dignity - original Oh Mercy out-take produced by Daniel Lanois from the Touched By An Angel OST - see 1998, not the 1994 Brendan O'Brien remixed version for Greatest Hits Vol. 3, which retained only Bob's vocal and piano and added new backing
Now no longer a rarity since it is included in Dylan (2007) on the bobdylan.com albums page.

R-0049 Positively 4th Street - slightly longer at 4:10 than the version from the original Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits (USA)/More Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits (UK), which is 3:56
This is the version from the 1966 Columbia Disco Teen 66 compilation, not the original single, which appears on Masterpieces (see 1978) and Biograph (1985). Carsten Baumann informs me that he's checked the version on the stereo release of Disco Teen '66 against this and the version now included on the remastered Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits (US release), and they are the same. This would mean it replaces the single version which now can be purchased only on Biograph. Thanks also to David Goldsmith for confirmation. This stereo version of R-0049 has ceased to be a rarity, and has been moved to the new Released Rarities page! The mono version of R-0049, R-0049M, remains a rarity and is still listed for 1965 and 1966.

The following two tracks were issued on a limited edition bonus CD single given away with The Best Of Bob Dylan Vol. 2 in the UK (and also Australia) in May, 2000:

R-0435    Highlands (live, previously unreleased) - from Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, Santa Cruz, CA, 16 Mar 2000 (A)

R-0435 appeared on the Sony Music Bob Dylan Custom Mix CD web-site, Apr 2003, see Online Performances (Other).

R-0436    Blowin' In The Wind (live, previously unreleased) - again from Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, Santa Cruz, CA, 16 Mar 2000 (A)
This date has been obtained from fan sources, not from Columbia, I can personally confirm it's correct as I've been contacted by the taper. A US radio station reported this performance was from Nampa, ID, 20 Mar 2000 - this cannot be correct, Bob plays harmonica here and he didn't in Nampa!

Thanks to "Les Memory" for the information that this album with the bonus disc was also released in Australia and to Gerd Rundel, Bill Hester and Jack from Canada for the scans. The Limited Edition with the bonus disc wasn't released in Japan.

R-2358 Changin' Of The Guards - exclusive remix of 1978 track from Street-Legal
I originally reported that the version of Changin' Of The Guards was the original 1978 Street-Legal version (also found on CD on Greatest Hits Vol. 3). Les Kokay thinks that this instance has been remixed uniquely for this compilation. However, Larry Crum has listened to this version and the original version on headphones and cannot hear any differences.

The other 28 tracks are current album versions. Tracklist:

CD1: Blowin’ In The Wind; Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right; A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall; The Times They Are A-Changin'; It Ain't Me, Babe; Subterranean Homesick Blues; It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue' She Belongs To Me; Mr. Tambourine Man; Positively 4th Street; Brownsville Girl; Like A Rolling Stone; I Want You; Rainy Day Women #12 & 35; Just Like A Woman; All Along The Watchtower; I'll Be Your Baby Tonight; Lay, Lady, Lay; If Not For You; I Shall Be Released.
CD2: Knockin' On Heaven's Door; Forever Young; Tangled Up In Blue; Hurricane; Changing Of The Guards (R-2358); Gotta Serve Somebody; Every Grain of Sand; Jokerman; Emotionally Yours; Silvio; Love Sick (live - R-0263); Things Have Changed (formerly R-0299).

Harald Sigvartsen points out that on the "timeline" pages the live double album Before the Flood is omitted while Dylan & the Dead is listed as having been released in 1988 (as it also is on bobdylan.com). This album was released on 9 Feb 1989, although it's possible a 1988 release date was planned but put back. Harald's second scan shows the content of the two discs of this compilation album. There is an asterisk on four of the tracks on disc one. This asterisk, as seen on the right side of the scan, refers to the following note (translated from Swedish): “alternate album title Subterranean Homesick Blues”. However, on track 7, this alternate album title is given in the listing instead of Bringing It All Back Home. There is also an error in one of the song titles, namely Changing Of the Guards, which on both the rear insert and in the booklet is called “Changing of the Guard”.

Jack from Canada's copy of COL 498540 2 has the same artwork but a slightly different CD design with a white vertical stripe instead of yellow. It has a "MADE IN HOLLAND" sticker on the back of the jewel case, but Hans Seegers assures me this is incorrect.

Thanks to Jack from Canada, Hans Seegers, Harald Sigvartsen and Gerd Rundel for information and scans.

Nine Days - "The Madding Crowd" - CD releases: 550/Epic CK 63634 (USA); 550/Epic 498026 2 (UK/Europe), May 2000:

NineDaysUSFront.jpg (28675 bytes)
550/Epic CK 63634 (USA) - front with sticker, scan by Jack from Canada
R-0459 Bob Dylan (John Hampton/Brian Desveaux) - a tribute to Bob on the debut album of this Long Island-based band which contains samples of several Dylan songs including It's All Over Now, Baby Blue from Bringing It All Back Home

The album title is a reference to the expression "far from the madding crowd" from Elegy in a Country Churchyard by Thomas Gray (1757) and the title of the Thomas Hardy novel (1874). The UK release is slightly different from the European release, which has a CD made in Austria.

R-0083-3 The Ballad Of Donald White - lyrics on bobdylan.com here, from "The Broadside Show" radio broadcast, WBAI-FM, New York, May 1962, from Broadside Ballads Vol. 6: Broadside Reunion, see 1972
R-0083 is also on Introducing Bob Dylan, Pacifica Radio Archives (USA), 2008

These performances were originally attributed to "Blind Boy Grunt", but they are now credited to Bob Dylan.

R-0458-2 Paths Of Victory - Bob is rumoured to sing backup vocals on this cover version by The Broadside Singers from Broadside Ballads Vol. 3: The Broadside Singers, 1964
Thanks to Jack from Canada for confirming this possible Dylan involvement from the Smithsonian Folkways web-site (this site listed it before they did). It's worth adding the caveat that the recording took place in New York on 29 Oct 1964 and neither Glen Dundas nor Michael Krogsgaard list a Dylan involvement in this date.

The set also includes Blowin' In The Wind by The New World Singers and A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall by Pete Seeger.

Jean-Pol Hiernaux informs me that much of the Broadside/Folkways music is now downloadable from the Smithsonian Folkways site. However, none of the tracks by Blind Boy Grunt are included! Thanks to Thierry van Reeth and Jack from Canada for further information and scans.
