This is a separate multi-year list by release date of commercially-released Various Artist stereo compilation albums released in 1987 and 1988 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. This page now includes promo-only Various Artist compilation albums and Radio Station Albums with Dylan tracks. The page is still incomplete - more entries required.
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!
