This is a separate multi-year list by release date of commercially-released Various Artist stereo compilation albums released in 2012 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:

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!

Various Artists - "Chimes Of Freedom: Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International" - compilation 4CD set, Fontana 7401001 (USA), 24 Jan 2012; Fontana 7401001 (Europe/America), 30 Jan 2012:

Fontana 7401001 (USA) - front with stickers, scan by Manuel García Jara

This charity set of Dylan covers to be distributed by Fontana on behalf of Amnesty International was delayed until 24 Jan 2012, but has now been expanded to a 4CD set of 73 songs. The album will be released internationally on 30 Jan 2012. The set was not originally intended to include Bob, but now contains his original recording of Chimes Of Freedom from Another Side Of Bob Dylan as track 18 on CD4. 70 of the songs are reported newly-recorded for this set, with all the artists and engineers working on a pro bono basis. Bob also recorded a duet of Chimes Of Freedom with Joan Osborne for the soundtrack of the US TV Series The '60s, see 1999.

The anthology includes a posthumous mix of One Too Many Mornings by Johnny Cash with the Avett Brothers, recorded during the Nashville Skyline sessions at Columbia Studios, Nashville, TN, Take 1, 18 Feb 1969. This is not the version from Feb 1969 with Bob included on the Johnny Cash documentary The Man ● His World ● His Music (R-0069, see VHS & DVD 1960s), which was Take 2 from 17 Feb 1969. Bob's solo verses have been replaced by the Avett Brothers but he can still clearly be heard on the choruses. This is a rarity, so full details are in 2012. This take without the overdub was released in Dec 2019 on 50th Anniversary Collection 1969, a very limited 2CD set, so will be given a new R-number.

Thanks to Harold Lepidus for news that the Amnesty International benefit album tribute Chimes of Freedom: Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International is also to be released as a 2CD set from Starbucks. This set will include One Too Many Mornings by Johnny Cash and the Avett Brothers with Bob on background vocals, but not Bob's own version of Chimes Of Freedom.

Thanks to Harold Lepidus and Dr. Hanns Peter Bushoff for information and to Wiebke Dittmer for finding a Universal European 2CD promo on eBay (which I bought, see 2012). I assume this is the same as the Starbucks 2CD set. Thanks to Manuel García Jara and Stuart Moore for further information and scans.

Various Artists - "Listen, Whitey! The Sounds Of Black Power 1967-74" - compilation CD, Light In The Attic LITA 081 (USA), 28 Feb 2012; compilation 2LP set, Light In The Attic LITA 081 (USA), 28 Feb 2012:

Light In The Attic LITA 081 (USA) - picture from www.examiner.com

Bob's contribution to this compilation is George Jackson (Acoustic version) - B-side of 1971 Columbia/CBS singles, see 1971. As this is a rarity, full details are in 2012. Thanks to Peter Ingham for reminding me that this is the first time this performance has appeared on CD in the USA. Other artists include John Lennon and Gil Scott-Heron. Note the picture of Huey Newton, co-founder of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, holding a copy of Highway 61 Revisited on the cover! This CD has been compiled to accompany the book "Listen, Whitey! The Sights And Sounds Of Black Power 1965-75" by Pat Thomas (Fantagraphics, USA, 5 Mar 2012). Pat Thomas has also compiled the Allen Ginsberg compilations Last Words On "First Blues" (see 2016) and Material Wealth (see 2024). Thanks to Harold Lepidus, Ian Woodward and Tim Dunn for information.

Various Artists - "Mr. Tambourine Man: 21 Versions" - compilation CD, Classic Hits RADI-1181 (Germany), 24 Feb 2012:

Classic Hits RADI-1181 (Germany) - front (my copy)

Thanks to Dirk Krah for news about a German Classic Hits CD release in their "One Song Edition" series with multiple versions of Mr. Tambourine Man - like the 2010 German Classic Hits release with 20 versions of Blowin' In The Wind, this release has 21 versions of Mr. Tambourine Man including Bob live with The Byrds (wrongly listed as from Montreal, but actually from Los Angeles, 1990), from the Columbia/Legacy 4CD boxed set The Byrds, see 1990, and Bob's solo piano demo of the song (again, wrongly listed as 1961 but actually 1963), from 2010's The Bootleg Series Vol. 9 - The Witmark Demos 1962-1964. As the version with The Byrds is a rarity, full details are in 2012. Thanks to Dirk for verifying the contents of this CD. For a Sep 2010 release with 20 versions of House Of The Risin' Sun, see International Album Releases (Various Artists Compilations) 2010. Jack from Canada states that these three releases are in fact unauthorised, but they have been left here for information.

Various Artists - "I Feel Good: 70s Hits" - compilation download-only, Classic Hits RADI-1181 (Germany), 13 Mar 2012:

Picture from www.amazon.com

Bob's contribution is California, an early version of Outlaw Blues from Bringing It All Back Home with different lyrics (which appear in "Writings and Drawings" under this title, lyrics on bobdylan.com here), recorded at Columbia Studios, New York, 13 Jan 1965 California is no longer a rarity since it was released in Nov 2015 on The Best of The Cutting Edge 1965-1966: The Bootleg Series Vol. 12.

CBS CBSR029 (USA, 2009) - front of sealed copy with sticker (my copy)

This out-take from the 1960s, not the 1970s, was originally released on Grandes De La Música: Mitos* Del Rock [Great Figures Of Music: Legends of Rock], a compilation CD given away in 1995 with an issue of "Diário de Noticias [News Diary]", a Spanish newspaper. For more details see Questionable Releases. It was legally released on the CBS TV soundtrack album NCIS: The Official TV Soundtrack Vol. 2 in Nov 2009. For the DVD release, see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 4.

*The distinction between “myth” and “legend” made in English isn’t made in other European languages – they’re both types of traditional stories, but basically a “myth” is a story that was never actually true, whereas a “legend” is a story that is based on true events or people. This means an “urban legend” should actually be called an “urban myth”, while Bob’s certainly a legend and definitely not a myth!

Thanks to Tim Dunn for information.

Various Artists - "Elvis Heard Them Here First" - compilation CD, Ace Records CDCHD 1332 (UK), 26 Mar 2012:

Ace Records CDCHD 1332 (UK) - front scan by Peter Oudejans

This compilation of songs covered by Elvis Presley includes Tomorrow Is A Long Time from Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II. Elvis Presley recorded the song on 26 May 1966 during a session for his religious album How Great Thou Art. The song originally appeared as a bonus track on the Spinout movie soundtrack album. Dylan once said that Presley's cover of the song was "the one recording I treasure the most." It was used as the title track of an RCA compilation album in 1999.

Wanted Man Music WMM 33/34/35 (Europe, 1994) - bootleg 3CD set including Stealin' (my copy)

Bob's contribution to this unauthorised but quasi-legal CD release is Stealin' (Will Shade) from "The Minnesota Tapes", recorded at Bonnie Beecher's apartment, Minneapolis, MN, 22 Dec 1961. As this is officially unreleased I haven't allocated an R-number, and the album is listed in Questionable Releases. Hopefully this early material will be officially released one day! The CD comes in a jewel case inside an outer card slipcase with a booklet.

For John Lennon's Jukebox, see the 2004 page of this Various Artists Compilations list. For Bob Dylan's Jukebox from 2006 see Honourable Mentions (Dylan's Roots).

CBS/Sony 06SP 1 (Japan) - front scan by Hans Seegers (1976 7" stereo single)

US book release, picture from www.amazon.com

Thanks to Harold Lepidus for information about this Oliver Stone film from the novel by Don Winslow starring John Travolta, Taylor Kitsch and Blake Lively. Bob's contribution to the Varèse Sarabande soundtrack album is Romance In Durango from Desire. The film is a thriller about drug dealers in the USA and Mexico, so the Dylan song is highly appropriate!

Thanks to Tim Dunn for confirming that this version is timed at 5:45 in the insert notes and at 5:43 on his CD player. This is therefore the edited version (R-0519), truncating the fade-out, which appeared on a 1976 Japanese 7" single as the B-side of One More Cup of Coffee, there timed at 5:44, see 1976, so is also listed in 2012.  Romance In Durango (timed at 5:50 on my copy) segues into Black Diamond Bay on Side 2 of Desire, but has also appeared as a 5:50 stand-alone version on a CBS Spain stereo 7" single, see International 7" Singles & EPs 1977. For the film itself, see VHS & DVD 2010s.
