R-0273 Dignity - original Oh Mercy
out-take from the Touched By An Angel soundtrack album, also see 1998
Now no longer a rarity since it is included in The Essential Bob Dylan
(2000) on the bobdylan.com albums page.
R-0552 Waitin' For You - from the Divine Secrets Of The Ya-Ya Sisterhood soundtrack album, see 2002
Jean-Pol Hiernaux has what must be a test pressing dated "10/18/02" (18 Oct 2002). This was from before the site was open to the public. It has only a card containing information about the Custom Mix CD facility, no jewel case inserts. The CD contains R-0271, R-0273 and R-0552 as above.

More rarities appeared, including two exclusive tracks! With God On Our Side (live)
was confirmed to be the MTV Unplugged version. R-0268 Cocaine Blues (Traditional) - live, El Rey Theater, Los Angeles, 16 Dec 1997 (A), from 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. The Sony Custom Mix web-site misdated this performance as from 20 Dec 1997, the 1998 releases date it correctly - see Cold Irons Bound below for a second misdating. Bob did indeed perform Cocaine Blues on 20 Dec 1997 but that performance has never been officially released. |

R-0267 Cold Irons Bound - live, El Rey Theater, Los Angeles, 16 Dec 1997 (A) - same as BDC7 (see above), from the European Columbia Love Sick singles, also on a bonus disc included with the 1998 Australian tour limited edition of Time Out Of Mind (see 1998), and several 1999 promo releases, see 1999. Now also available on the 2001 Japanese live compilation Bob Dylan Live 1961-2000: Thirty Nine Years Of Great Concert Performances, see 2001.
The Sony Custom Mix web-site repeated the mistake on several of the releases that the performance is from 20 Dec 1997. Bob did indeed perform Cold Irons Bound on 20 Dec 1997 but that performance has never been officially released. The Sony Custom Mix web-site also introduced a new mistake by misdating Cocaine Blues, see above.
R-0205 Dead Man, Dead Man - live, Saenger Performing Arts Center, New Orleans, LA, 10 Nov 1981, B-side of Everything Is Broken Columbia single (see 1989). Later released on the 1993 Japanese promo CD Mr. D's Collection # 3 (see 1993), and now also available on the 2001 Japanese live compilation Bob Dylan Live 1961-2000: Thirty Nine Years Of Great Concert Performances (see 2001).
R-0084 George Jackson - "Big Band" version, A-side of 1971 Columbia single (see 1971),
lyrics on bobdylan.com
here
Also see
1971 for all subsequent appearances on LP or
CD.
R-0085 George Jackson - Acoustic version, B-side of 1971 Columbia single (see 1971), also available on the 1974 Japanese limited release LP Mr D's Collection #1 (see 1974), and the 1993 Japanese limited release CD Mr D's Collection #3 (see 1993). This version was not released on commercial CD until it was included on a bonus disc with the Dutch release of The Essential Bob Dylan, 2003.
The Sony Custom Mix web-site said George Jackson was the solo acoustic version (R-0085, as confirmed by the online excerpt), but it was actually the "big band" version (R-0084) until the end of April 2003, when it was replaced by the correct track. However, I heard at the end of May 2003 that the latest Custom CDs were again including R-0084. This was very confusing for customers! Amy Dickerson tells me she ordered a CD containing the acoustic version but received the "big band" version - she complained and was sent a replacement with the acoustic version.
R-0435 Highlands - live, Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, Santa Cruz, CA, 16 Mar 2000 (A), from the bonus CD released with the limited edition of The Best Of Bob Dylan Vol. 2, 2000.
R-0606 I Threw It All Away (2:48) - this is a new out-take, previously
officially unreleased, although not new to collectors. Wrongly described as a 1969 studio outtake from the Nashville
Skyline
sessions, it was recorded with
George Harrison during the New Morning sessions at Columbia Studios, New
York, 1 May 1970. Seven other tracks from this session (R-0419 - R-0425) turned
up on the market in 1986 on Columbia acetates, now known as The Gelston Acetates
(see 1986), and If Not For You released on The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3
in 1991 is also from this session. An alternate take of the song also
appeared on The Bootleg Series, Vol. 10 - Another Self Portrait 1969-1971,
Aug 2013, but not the same one as it does this time come from the 1969
Nashville Skyline sessions! This alternate take is the take that reappeared
on
"The Bootleg Series Vol. 15 - Travelin' Thru 1967-1969 in 2019.
Thanks to Larry Crum for pointing out that track 8 of CD2 of The 50th
Anniversary Collection 1970 (R-2280, see
2020)
is the same take as appeared on the Sony Custom Mix CD site in Apr 2003. The mix
is different and it does not include about 14 seconds of talk and guitar strums
which are at the beginning of the Custom Mix CD track.
R-0279 Million Miles - live, Broome County Arena, Binghamton, NY, 19 Feb 1999 (A), from the Columbia promo CD Million Miles: Live Recordings 1997-1999, see 1999.
R-0202 Pretty Boy Floyd (Woody Guthrie) - from the 1988 Columbia Woody Guthrie/Lead Belly tribute album Folkways: A Vision Shared (see 1988), also on the 1993 Japanese promo CD Mr. D's Collection # 3 (see 1993). For the 1989 video and DVD release, see VHS & DVD 1980s.
R-0130 Rita May - Desire out-take, recorded Jul 1975, B-side of 1976 single Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again from the Hard Rain album (also released in France as the A-side), see 1976, lyrics on bobdylan.com here. Some say this sounds like an alternate version, but it's possible it's been remastered.
R-0443 Make You Feel My Love - live, Pauley Pavilion, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA, 21 May 1998 (A), from the European Things Have Changed CD single, May 2000 (see 2000), same as BDC26 from bobdylan.com, Jun 1998 (see above).
R-0552 Waitin' For You - from the soundtrack of the 2002 film Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood, see 2002.
This is described as a new out-take, previously unreleased, but it is in fact exactly the same take as on the soundtrack album!
Apr 2003: (Apple iTunes Online Music Store )
These tracks were available as an "Exclusive" 4-track download single from the US iTunes store only from 24 Apr 2003.

R-0655 Diamond Joe (Traditional) -
edited version of the performance from
the then unreleased soundtrack of the movie Masked And Anonymous (R-0612, see
2003, VHS & DVD 2000s Part 2
and above) Although it's the same take and mix, this version is 10 seconds shorter than the Masked And Anonymous version (2:22 instead of 2:32) because the start of the intro is missing. Thanks to Paul S. Levine and Jean-Pol Hiernaux for information. Note this is a different song from the one on Good As I Been To You, see International Albums (Regular), thanks to Gil Walker for pointing this out. Thanks to Derek Barker for information in "Isis 180" that although the song is associated with fiddler Benjamin F. "Tex" Logan and has been copyrighted by him, it is in fact traditional.
R-0613 Everything Is Broken - alternate take with different lyrics
from the version on Oh Mercy (not an alternate mix as described) |
Spanish Harlem Incident, live from New York Philharmonic Hall, 31 Oct 1964, released on The Bootleg Series Vol. 6
R-0614 Hero Blues - live from New York
Town Hall, 12 Apr 1963, not the 1963 studio version which surfaced in 1980 as a
Columbia acetate, see 1980
This has now been released on the Columbia/Legacy/Sony Music Europe 6LP limited edition 50th Anniversary Collection 1963, Dec
2013.
As this is a limited release, R-0614 is still a rarity. Thanks to Justin Brooks
for information this occurrence has an intro missing from the 50th Anniversary Collection 1963
version, but I am leaving both
occurrences as R--0614.
May 2003: (Custom Mix CD site )
R-0606 was removed and replaced by:
R-0271 Roving Gambler (Traditional) - live, El Rey Theater, Los Angeles, 17 Dec 1997 (A), from the European Columbia Love Sick singles, also on a bonus disc included with the Australian tour limited edition of Time Out Of Mind, both 1998

Exactly 30 years after its release in January 1975, we present the full story of Bob Dylan's Blood On The Tracks." You can listen to the five replaced tracks from Blood On The Tracks at "Uncut"'s web-site here. Thanks to Fred Muller for spotting this.

Williams) - out-take from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, recorded Columbia

Harald Sigvartsen now informs me it is available from iTunes Norway, so I assume this single is now generally available.

live at Carnegie Hall, New York, 26 Oct 1963, from the limited edition
six-track CD Bob Dylan Live At Carnegie Hall
1963, Sony Music (USA/Japan),
2005 This track was available from the iTunes store in the USA only. Thanks to Jack from Canada for information. Thanks to Paul S. Levine for information that this track was also available in Dec 2005 from iTunes: R-0544 Man Of Peace - recorded with the Grateful Dead during rehearsals at Club Front, San Rafael, CA, 9 Jun 1987, from the Grateful Dead Records/Arista album Postcards Of The Hanging: The Grateful Dead Play The Music Of Bob Dylan, 2002 |
"Live Folk Masters: Blowin' In The Wind [Digitally Reworked]" - Five Track Download Only EP, Apple iTunes Music Store (no catalogue number) (European stores), 14 Dec 2005 (removed 8 Jan 2006):
Picture from iTunes UK web-site |
The tracks are: A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall (6:45); Bob Dylan's Dream (3:39); Boots Of Spanish Leather (4:40); John Brown (4:40); Blowin' In The Wind (2:39). Bob Stacy has identified these tracks as all previously officially unreleased, recorded for Studs Terkel's Wax Museum, Radio WFMT, Chicago, IL, 26 Apr 1963. The programme included Farewell as the first song (see my Starlight In The East "F" page), and then the songs as listed, but with Who Killed Davey Moore? between John Brown and Blowin' In The Wind. However, these songs were originally performed solo, here they have been buried under a vile cacophony of electronic instrumentation - strongly not recommended! This is a great shame, as the original solo acoustic versions represent an important historical document - this is the first public performance of Boots Of Spanish Leather. |
These tracks have been created by CARINCO AG, which is a Swiss company, very present on the German market, and has released a lot of cheap CDs and especially musical DVDs (anthologies of blues, country, folk, jazz, etc.). There is a contract between CARINCO AG and DIGITAL MUSICWORKS INTERNATIONAL INC (DMI) and during 2005, especially November and December, CARINCO AG and DMI have released various collections (all “TM”) of downloadable EPs or LPs on iTunes: “Blues Masters”, “Rock Masters”, “Jazz Masters”, “Soul Masters”, “Folk Masters”, “Classical Masters”, and “Classical Vocal Masters”. In the collection “Live Folk Masters”, Bob Dylan is currently the only artist.
Thanks to Jean-Pol Hiernaux and Bob Stacy for information. This EP was downloadable from the 17 European iTunes music stores, but not the US, Canadian, Australian and Japanese stores. I have checked through a friend with Bob Dylan's office, and they say the tracks are from bootlegs, reworked and released without permission. The Studs Terkel material has not been authorised for release by Bob or Columbia, and I'm sure the 1966 material (see below) is illegal also. I am only listing this material for reference, and it was removed from iTunes on 8 Jan 2006. I hope that Bob's office and Columbia will be spurred to release this show officially so it can be heard as intended!
"Live Folk Masters: Visions Of Johanna" - 13 Track Download Only Album, Apple iTunes Music Store (no catalogue number) (European stores), 14 Dec 2005 (removed 13 Jan 2006):
15 Aug 2006: Thanks to "rbn" for informing me that both the "Blowin' In The Wind" and "Visions Of Johanna" Live Folk Masters offerings are available for download from the RealNetworks Rhapsody site. I assume that Bob's management will eventually intervene to have them removed.
2006
Feb 2006 ongoing (Wolfgang's Vault):
Thanks to Artur Jarosinski and Harold Lepidus for information about this site, which can be found here: . This is a site primarily selling memorabilia, much from the archives of legendary rock promoter Bill Graham (of the Fillmore East and West), whose actual first name was Wolfgang. The site also has an online streaming feature which plays live performances from Bill Graham's collection, including many with Bob. I have not given these R-numbers because they are only featured for a short period and are not downloadable.
