Revised 09 March, 2010.
This is a separate multi-year list by release date of commercially-released Various Artist stereo compilation albums released between 1962 and 1969 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 including radio station albums are now included here also.
To eliminate cross-references there are now no links to other pages in this list, please use the links at the top and bottom of the page.
1962
Various Artists - "Zenith Presents... All Star Hootenanny"
- stereo compilation vinyl LP, Columbia Special Products CSP 149 (USA), 1962:
There was also a mono album CLP 149, listed on the Various Artist
Compilations page of Mono Album Releases.
 CSP 149 (USA) - front cover scan by Hans Seegers featuring "Bobby Dylan" |
Zenith was a manufacturer of audio equipment at the time, and sponsored this album. This is not the same album as the later Columbia All Star Hootenanny (CL 2122/CS 8922, USA, Nov 1964, see below and 1964). |

 CSP 149 (USA) - side 2 label scan by Hans Seegers (non-Dylan) |
Here Bob is represented by Freight Train Blues, Pretty Peggy-O and Corrina, Corrina, the regular album versions from Bob Dylan. The other artists are Pete Seeger, Orriel Smith and the Clancy Brothers with Tommy Makem.
Thanks to Gord Pugh and Hans Seegers for information and scans. Thanks also to Gord Pugh for scanning the sleeve notes. Relating to Bob they say: "Bob Dylan is a fast-rising young man who has crossed and re-crossed the country, learning songs and writing them himself. Possessor of a compelling vocal style, Bob is heard to especial advantage on Freight Train Blues, Pretty Peggy-O and Corrina, Corrina." Confusingly, Bob is named as "Bobby" Dylan on the front cover and on the label!
For a 1966 Zenith sponsored compilation album with a rarity, Zenith Salutes... The Teen Sound, see 1966. For a 1966 Zenith sponsored compilation album with two album tracks, Zenith Salutes... The Folk Singers, see below.

The promo release has white labels with a stamped date "40 12". This means Dec 1965, as Wil Gielen explains: The white labels have a very small date (40 - 12) hand-stamped on each side - the “40” is the Japanese year "Showa 40" (40th year of the reign of the Emperor Showa) which corresponds to 1965 in the 'western' calendar. The "12" on the label is for December. It's interesting that even now Japan uses its own system for calendar years, and each ends when the Emperor dies, and starts again when the new Emperor is announced. The current Emperor was crowned in 1988 and so that was "year zero" for his era (the Heisei era), and now we are in year "Heisei 20". This is used on newspapers, official documents, application forms, birthdays etc (but not on CD release dates) more often than our "Western" 2008 year. It's very confusing for non-Japanese, because you need also to know the era and the year to identify the correct year.
Thanks to Hanns Peter Bushoff for initial information and to Hans Seegers and Wil Gielen for further information and scans.

R-0049 Positively 4th St - alternate stereo mix, longer
than standard single release
Carsten Baumann informs me that he's checked the version on this 1966 album (also on the 1965 Witmark tape, see 1965) 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. The stereo version, R-0049, is therefore no longer a rarity. The mono version, R-0672, remains a rarity, and is still listed for 1965 and 1966. John Goodwin has a copy of this album with Side 2 labels on both sides. the record is however pressed correctly and does play Positively 4th Street. For the previous release in this series, Disco Teen '65, which contains Subterranean Homesick Blues, see above. For the mono release of this album, see the Various Artist Compilations page of Mono Album Releases. |

Various Artists - "The Rock Machine Turns You On" - sampler vinyl LP, CBS SPR 22 (UK), 1968:
|
CBS SPR 22 (UK) - front (my copy) |
This was the first "sampler" album to be produced by CBS that was sold commercially in the UK as a general release (previous releases like the ones above had been limited editions). It was extremely successful, both in its own right and in terms of generating sales for the featured albums, all of which were newly released at the time. The front has a fabulous Victorian-style illustration of a "rock machine" by Milton Glaser! (For Milton Glaser's famous 1967 Dylan poster see Part 1). Bob's contribution is I'll Be Your Baby Tonight from John Wesley Harding. Other artists included are Leonard Cohen, Simon & Garfunkel, The Byrds, Blood, Sweat and Tears featuring Al Kooper, and The Electric Flag featuring Mike Bloomfield. This stereo release is housed in the mono PR 22 sleeve with a white Stereo/arrows logo sticker. The generic CBS UK paper inner sleeve has a cut-out for the record label and has the theme "The Sound Of Entertainment". Current CBS albums are illustrated on the front, including the 1967 UK version of Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, and all Bob's UK albums are listed on the back amongst albums from others. The record has orange CBS labels with the "STEREO" logo to the left of the centre CBS logo. For the mono release of this album, CBS PR 22, see Mono LPs - Various Artists Compilations. The mono release has a slightly different inner sleeve and labels without the "STEREO" logo. |

Bob's contribution to these three incarnations of the same LP with different titles is Highway 61 Revisited on Side 2.
The West German and Israeli albums have the same catalogue number and on the rear sleeve the familiar words "The Rock Machine Turns You On". The Israeli album has the additional text "From The Underground" on the front sleeve. The West German and South African records are on distinctive "psychedelic" multicoloured vinyl, but all three records have orange CBS labels. The South African release uses a variant of the UK Rock Machine sleeve with the Milton Glaser picture, and has three squares cut out to show the coloured vinyl. All three rear sleeves show pictures of other contemporary CBS releases.
Thanks to Hans Seegers and Patrick Helfrich for information and scans.
