This is a separate multi-year list by release date of commercially-released Various Artist stereo compilation albums released between 1970 and 1979 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.
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.
See the Promotional Albums pages of International Promotional Releases for promo-only Various Artist compilation albums with Dylan tracks. Other International Compilations are now here:
There must be hundreds of these albums from round the world! This page is still incomplete. 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!
