This is a separate multi-year list by release date of commercially-released Various Artist stereo compilation albums released in 2015 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!

This stereo vinyl compilation for Record Store Day, 18 Apr 2015, includes Please Mrs. Henry by Bob Dylan and The Band from The Basement Tapes, probably the 2014 restored version from The Bootleg Series Vol. 11 - The Basement Tapes Raw/Complete.

It also contains a cover of You Ain't Goin' Nowhere by The Byrds. The record has Dogfish Head/Legacy labels and comes in a plain white inner sleeve with rounded corners.
My copy has a Record Store Day front sticker and also a £24.99 price sticker from Badlands, Cheltenham. Tim Dunn has a promo CD version of this album, Dogfish Head/Legacy 88875070412, with text "FOR PROMOTIONAL USE ONLY - NOT FOR SALE" on the rear below the track listing.

(Europe)/Sony
Music CDSM637
(South Africa), 2015:
Amazon dates this release as 8 Jan 2016, but
the rear insert and CDs are dated 2015.
Bob's contribution to this 4CD set of electric guitar-driven tracks in the "Ultimate" series is Buckets Of Rain from Blood On The Tracks, track 3 on CD3, a somewhat strange selection, considering the compiler could have instead chosen one of many Dylan tracks with blistering guitar work by Mike Bloomfield or Robbie Robertson. CD3 also contains a cover of Down In The Flood by The Derek Trucks Band. Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds, track 7 on CD1, is also included, certainly because of Roger McGuinn's 12-string guitar. The European release was made in Germany and comes in a four-panel digipak, the South African set comes in a double-width jewel case.

"Salut Les Copains [Hello Friends/Hi Buddies]" was a French music magazine that was very influential in the 1960s and 1970s, and which contributed to the popularity of Johnny Hallyday and other contemporary French artists. It was renamed "Salut!" in 1994 but folded in 2006. The name lives on as a series of CD compilations released in France by Universal, of which this is one. As well as Various Artist compilations such as Hits 1966-1969, other artists who have "Salut Les Copains" compilations are Eddy Mitchell and Patricia Carli.

Compilations with Out of Copyright Tracks
Sony let the copyright to the 1962 releases of Bob Dylan and Bob's first single Mixed Up Confusion expire in 2012. This has led to many budget record labels releasing unauthorised editions of Bob Dylan or including tracks from the album on compilations without authorisation. These are now listed separately from the other Various Artists Compilations. Sony has of course rectified this situation by renewing the copyrights of the albums from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan onwards, and with the limited edition 50th Anniversary Collection releases from 1962 onwards.
