This new page lists mono Various Artist compilation LPs that contain one or more Bob Dylan mono album tracks. 1970 is the latest date for an entry on this page so far. These albums do not contain rarities or obscurities and are not eligible for the Searching For A Gem list. Nevertheless, the interest value or scarcity of these items means they're worth listing here - as far as I know some are not included on any other Internet site. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans of many of these elusive albums.Mono singles up to 1976 have their own pages, see the links above.
This page is still incomplete - more information on mono compilation LPs with tracks by Bob Dylan is required.
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!

R-0049M Positively 4th Street - alternate mono mix, longer
than standard single release Larry Crum now informs me that he's checked the version of this track on the mono Disco Teen '66 compilation and it is the same as the mono 7" single and not R-00049M as listed previously. Similarly, Carsten Baumann informs me that he's checked the version on the stereo version of this 1966 album against the version now included on the remastered Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits (US release), and they are the same. This means the original single version is now to be found on CD only on Biograph. Thanks also to David Goldsmith for confirmation. The stereo Disco Teen '66 version, R-0049, has ceased to be a rarity, and has been moved to the new Released Rarities page. The mono version of R-0049, R-0049M, remains a rarity and is still listed for 1965 and 1966.

About Bob, the pompous liner notes by Nigel Hunter say: "Bob Dylan, of course, is the arch priest of modern folkdom. His songs, with their insidious melodies and their acidulous, astringent lyrics, probe deep into the nub of many matters nowadays, piercing the political smokescreens and ignoring the routine red herrings utilised to distract people's attention and awareness of what is actually happening or threatening to happen. Even when Bob adopts the form of the love song in preference to comment on the cataclysmic nuclear clouds overhanging the world or the ideological idiots riding hopefully on such perilous cumulus, he still strikes a ringing note of truth in the midst of the phantasmagoria of human relationships and feelings."

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.
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.
For the stereo release of this album, CBS
SPR 22, see International
Stereo Releases (Various Artist Compilations) -1960s. The stereo
record has a slightly different inner sleeve and labels with the
"STEREO" logo. There must be a great deal more of these mono albums including
a Dylan
performance - more information and scans
required! For 1970s mono Various Artist Compilations with a Dylan track, see
