Bob's 60th birthday falling in 2001 is probably why this is a very long page! This yearly page now contains only the main Rarities List! 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 -

It was also given away in a card sleeve as a bonus CD with promo copies of Bob Dylan: The Original Mono Recordings, see 2010. The promo cassette shown has the same catalogue number as the CD release. As far as I know there was no corresponding commercial cassette release. |

- Gaslight Café, New York, Oct 1962, previously unreleased
This performance has since been released on Bob Dylan Live At The Gaslight 1962,

2005. More performances from the Gaslight Café in 1962
have been released on The 50th Anniversary Collection, Sony Music Europe,

R-0294-2 To Ramona - unidentified performance misdated as The

Online Performances (bobdylan.com) ),
previously released on the 2000 DVD release of D.A. Pennebaker's 1965 film Don't
Look Back, see
VHS & DVD 2000s Part
1. This date of 30 Apr 1965 is definitely
incorrect, as the genuine performance from Sheffield was already circulating
among collectors. This performance, still wrongly identified,
has now been released on The 50th Anniversary Collection 1965, Sony Music
USA,
Dec 2015, and now can be positively
identified as being from
City Hall, Newcastle,
6 May 1965!
R-0066-5 The Grand Coulee Dam

Band, New York City, 21 Jan 1968,
previously released on the 1972 Tribute to Woody Guthrie

Sick singles, also on a bonus disc included with the Australian tour
limited edition of Time Out Of Mind, 1998 (for both see 1998)
R-0269-4 Born In Time
- New Jersey Center
for the Performing Arts, Newark, NJ, 1 Feb 1998 - same as BDC21
(see
Online Performances (bobdylan.com) ),
previously released on the European
Columbia Love Sick singles, also on a bonus disc included with the Australian
tour limited edition of Time Out Of Mind (for both see 1998)
R-0468 Country Pie
- Portsmouth, Hampshire, England, 24 Sep
2000, previously unreleased
R-0469 Things Have Changed
- Portsmouth, Hampshire, England, 25 Sep 2000, previously unreleased (not 24 Sep 2000 as
reported by some - Bob didn't play it on the first night!)
This performance is also on the Columbia US "blue" and "red" promo CD singles
Things Have Changed Live & Unreleased, the Columbia UK promo CD The Voice
Of Every Generation, the European and Canadian promo CD singles Live &
Rare (for all of these see below and
2002), on the Columbia UK compilation Brit

2002) and on the revised release of the
Japanese 2CD compilation Dylan Ga Rock (see
2010).
R-0137-4 It Ain't Me, Babe
- with the
Rolling Thunder Revue, Harvard
Square Theatre, Cambridge, MA, 20 Nov 1975, previously released on the 1978 Columbia promo 12"
single 4 Songs From "Renaldo & Clara"
(see 1978), also released on the
1993 Japanese promo CD Mr. D's Collection # 3 (see 1993)
and 1995 European Unplugged Dignity CD singles (see 1995). The version released in Nov 2002 on The
Bootleg Series Vol. 5 - Bob Dylan Live 1975: The Rolling Thunder Revue, is a
remix, so R-0137 remains a rarity. Thanks to Larry Crum for pointing this out.
Don Handy considers that this performance is different from the Harvard performance which is on The Bootleg Series Vol. 5 - Bob Dylan Live 1975: The Rolling Thunder Revue, and he suggest it actually comes from The Forum, Montreal, Canada, 4 Dec 1975. Both Glen Dundas and Olof Björner confirm the 20 Nov 1975 date, not 4 Dec 1975.

The other five live tracks on this album are from currently available Columbia live albums: I Don't Believe You (from The Bootleg Series Vol. 4: Live 1966); Knockin' On Heaven's Door (from Before The Flood); Shelter From The Storm (from Hard Rain); Slow Train (from Dylan And The Dead); Dignity (from MTV Unplugged). |

Wil Gielen has an unused and complete guest ticket for the Dylan concert at Kosei Nenkin Kaikan Dai Hall, Osaka, Japan, 6 Mar 2001 (one week after the album's release on 28 Feb 2001). The guests were given a free copy of the CD. this one is still sealed and the clear cellophane sleeve has a green "Guest" pass sticker.
Thanks to Wil Gielen and Keith Schweiger for information and scans of the promo cassette and sealed promo CD. Thanks to Simon Topping and Gerd Rundel for scans of a Columbia UK promo CD-R of this album, mastered at Whitfield Street Mastering Studios, London. This was sent by Columbia UK to selected retailers to advertise the availability of the album on import in the UK from 5 Mar 2001. The album is in a card sleeve with a flyer showing the promo version of the album sleeve without the added text (see above). Wil Gielen's Japanese record store counter display shown is on thick card and has a fold-out stand to hold it upright. The date of "2000.02.28" is wrong, it should be "2001.02.28" (28 Feb 2001).

R-0049 Positively 4th Street
- slightly longer at 4:10 than the version from the
original Greatest Hits 1/More Greatest Hits, which is 3:56
This track is the same version as on the Columbia Disco Teen 66 compilation (see 1966), not the original single, which appears on Masterpieces (see 1978) and Biograph (see 1985). Carsten Baumann informs me that he's checked the version on this 1966 album against 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 is now to be found on CD only on Biograph (it's also on the non-US release The Best Of Bob Dylan Vol. 2, see 2000). 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 version on the 2010 release The Best Of The Original Mono Recordings is only 3:51, see The Best Of The Original Mono Recordings (2010).
R-0273 Dignity
- original Oh Mercy out-take produced by
Daniel Lanois from Touched By An Angel: The Album - see 1998, not the 1994 Brendan O'Brien remixed
version for Greatest Hits Vol. 3, which retained only
Bob's vocal and guitar and added new backing. Also on The Best Of Bob Dylan Vol. 2,
see 2000.
Now no longer a rarity since it is included in Dylan
(2007) on the bobdylan.com albums page.
Thanks to David Goldsmith for reminding me about the omission of R-0250 from this entry. Despite first reports, this album did not contain the bonus live CD included with the limited UK 2000 release of The Best Of Bob Dylan Vol. 2. However, David says "It is interesting that the jewel case contains a tray for a third disc which makes me wonder if there had been at one stage an intention to include the bonus disc from Vol. 2".
The original release of this set (the limited edition) was contained in an old-style double-width jewel case which has space for the third disc. The CDs have their original designs, and show the original catalogue numbers on the discs (Columbia 487924 2 and Columbia 498361 9 respectively). The catalogue number on the front insert spine and rear insert of the set is Columbia 5020172000. Paul Shenton has a copy imported into the UK by HMV with an "HMV IMPORT" front sticker as well as the Australian gold sticker,. The set was later released in a slim jewel case, obviously no longer a limited edition and with no room for the third disc. It had a uniform CD label design, and the inserts and both CDs have the catalogue number Columbia 5020172000 on them).
Gerd Rundel's copy also comes in a double-width jewel case with the Australian gold sticker like Bill Hester's copy. However, the CDs are the second release versions. The set comes with a twelve-page booklet and an advertisement flyer.
Thanks to "Les Memory" for the information that The Best Of Bob Dylan and The Best Of Bob Dylan Vol. 2 (with the bonus disc) had already been released in Australia. Thanks to Jack from Canada, Bill Hester, Paul Shenton and Gerd Rundel for information and pictures.

set was made in Australia.

There is also an acoustic version of Rise, but that does not include the Dylan loop. The screen shot of the video menu for some reason shows the window containing the song list as solid black.

The Band - "Rock Of Ages" - remastered reissue 2CD set with bonus tracks, Capitol 72435-30181-2-2 (USA), 7 May 2001:
 Capitol 72435-30181-2-2 (USA) - 2001 CD release with sticker (my copy) |
This album was recorded live at The Band's New Year's Eve concert at the Academy of Music in Brooklyn,
New York City, 31 Dec 1971/1 Jan 1972. Bob joined The Band on stage after midnight for four
numbers which were not included in the original 1972 release of Rock Of Ages -
Down In The Flood (R-0476) was planned for inclusion, but left off at the time for legal
reasons. The first CD release of this album (Capitol CDP 7 46617 2)
was on one 72 min CD and deleted one track (Genetic
Method) from the original double LP, although the last release (CDP 93595 2) was
split over 2 CDs and reinstated it. This new 2CD set release puts the whole of the
original double album including Genetic Method on CD1 (which clocks in at just
under 80 mins) and adds 10
bonus tracks from the concert on CD2, including the four performances with Bob.

As the version on The Basement Tapes features The Band alone with Levon Helm on vocals, this is the first officially released performance of the

R-0479 Like A Rolling Stone
For Live At The Academy Of Music: The Rock Of Ages Concerts, a Capitol Records US expanded 4CD/1DVD set which includes the four Dylan tracks with two different mixes of each, see 2013. There is also a 2CD set with the New Year's Eve concert with R-0476 - R-0479.

Harry Belafonte - "3 Originals" - compilation 3CD set, BMG/Ariola Express 74321 77952 2 (Germany), 3 May 2001:
R-0001-25 Midnight Special
(Huddie Ledbetter "Lead Belly") - Bob plays harmonica on the
title track of Harry Belafonte's 1962 The Midnight Special album (stereo
version)
Despite the title, this 3CD set actually contains four Harry Belafonte albums: Oh Lord, What A Mornin' (1960), Golden Records Vol. 1 (1960), Jump Up Calypso (1961) and The Midnight Special (1962). The last two albums were released on a single 2 Gether On 1 CD in 1995. Since Golden Records Vol. 1 is a compilation, two of the three CDs can hardly be classed as "originals"! The three CDs are in separate jewel cases inside an outer slipcase. The three rear inserts do not have barcodes. For the original 2 Gether On 1 release (which does have a barcode on the rear insert) see 1995.
For details of the original The Midnight Special album, see 1962. Here the album is on CD3, tracks 42-51 of this 51-track set. The Midnight Special was eventually released on CD in the USA by Wounded Bird Records/Sony Music in 2009, see 1962 (as it's a re-release of the original album).

The first North American recording of this song appears to be in 1958 by band leader Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians (composer/translator Carmen Lombardo was Guy Lombardo's younger brother). Bob's version (on CD2, track 6), with the last verse in Italian, was recorded in New York City on 17 Dec 2000 with Larry Campbell and Tony Garnier from Bob's band plus Brian Mitchell on accordion and Shawn Pelton on drums (thanks to Joy Munsey and Olav Langum for the information). Return To Me has also been recorded by Dean Martin (birth name Dino Paul Crocetti), Connie Francis (birth name Concetta Rosa Maria Franconero) and Mantovani amongst many others. For interest, a couple of previous albums featuring this song are shown above.
The 2CD release has a long folded front insert.
Thanks to Øyvind Svele for the information that there is also a "acetate" sampler of this album with 25 songs on a single CD-R, including Return To Me. This has a plain white sleeve with the title and tracklisting - no artwork. More details including a scan will be added when available.
For the DVD/VHS boxed set The Sopranos - The Complete Third Series, containing the episode in which a different edit of Return To Me appears, see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 1.
These are songs from Season 3 of the drama series. The first Sopranos soundtrack album from 1999 contained Gotta Serve Somebody, the regular album track from Slow Train Coming, see International Album Releases (Various Artist Compilations) 1999.
The 2004 Golden Stars 3CD set Music You Heard On The Sopranos does not have any Dylan content.

The four other tracks on this 6-track CD were: The Times They Are A-Changin', Subterranean Homesick Blues, Tangled Up In Blue and Everything is Broken (regular album versions).
30,000 copies were produced which had to be claimed from UK HMV outlets with the coupon from the 26 May 2001 issue of "The Daily Telegraph".

Thanks to Pepe from Spain for the information about this variant of the May 2001 Things Have Changed Live & Unreleased USA red promo CD (CSK 16726, see here) with completely different packaging.
The graphic design of the CD card sleeve may be familiar to Bob Dylan fans - it's similar to that used on the covers of two books by Clinton Heylin about the bootleg recording industry. Bob Dylan is, of course, the most bootlegged artist in recorded music history!
This CD is also available in a very rare French version produced for the French FM radio station "Nostalgie" to mark Bob's 60th birthday. It has the same catalogue number, SAMPCM 10106 2. The unique colour picture sleeve is actually a full-size sticker stuck over the cover of the Spanish/Dutch cardboard sleeve! The CD itself is the same as the Spanish and Dutch releases. Thanks to Anthony Pignataro for spotting this on eBay and to Hans Seegers for further information!
In Holland "Love And Theft" came with the insert shown above advertising the free Live & Rare CD with The Essential Bob Dylan. The wording says that this is just a temporary offer. Thanks to Hans Seegers for the information. John Gaylor's copy of the Dutch Live & Rare CD single has an insert advertising The Essential Bob Dylan (see 2003) and the follow-up CD single Live & Rare 2 (see 2002).
