This is a separate multi-year list by release date of commercially-released Various Artist stereo compilation albums released in 2006 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 are now included in this list. Other International Albums and Compilations are now here:
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!

Bob's contribution to this compilation of great records produced in association with Guinness World Records that didn't make the UK singles charts is Just Like A Woman From Blonde On Blonde. This was released as a single in the USA and Canada, mainland Europe and Australia/New Zealand, but inexplicably not in the UK. This was perhaps because it was a big 1966 UK hit for Manfred Mann, the first with Mike d'Abo on vocals after Paul Jones had left. |

1974. Bob's contribution is Knockin' On Heaven's Door from Pat Garrett &
Billy The Kid. The leading role is played by German-Catalan actor Daniel Brühl, which is possibly why there is a (sub-titled) German DVD release titled "Salvador: Kampf Um Die Freiheit [Salvador: Fight For Freedom]". As far as I know there has been no US or UK DVD release. For DVD releases of the 2006 film, see VHS & DVD: Items with Dylan Album Tracks 2000s Part 2. |
