The other tracks on the EP are Handy Dandy from Under The Red Sky, Man In The Long Black Coat from Oh Mercy and Knockin' On Heaven's Door from Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid - all the regular album versions. Of course, Big Yellow Taxi is not a "Dylan Original" composition, although it can certainly be said to be a "Dylan Original" performance! J

The reverse of the front insert is blank, and the rear insert has details of Bob's concert dates at the SECC, Glasgow, and the Hammersmith Odeon, London, in Feb 1991. It also has details of nine older Dylan albums just released on CD in 1991 - these include Dylan (A Fool Such As I) (again see 1973), although as far as I know it was never actually released in the UK. The CD itself has the Columbia logo and "PROMO CD" vertically just to the left of the centre hole.

Thanks to Erik Grobet for placing this entry correctly in 1991.

Hervé from France has this EP in a limited edition box together with The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3. Hans Seegers says this item, though very attractive, is actually unofficial.

R-0204 Series Of Dreams - alternate take with several lyric differences from the versions on The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3 and Greatest Hits Vol. 3
This version of Series Of Dreams also has a clear start, not the cross-fade - see below.

The other four tracks on the sampler CD are the versions from the boxed set: Mama, You been On My Mind; If You Gotta Go, Go Now; Tangled Up In Blue; Foot Of Pride.

This promo CD was also included in a Columbia Records exclusive 4CD limited edition box set which had the 3CDs of The Bootleg Series plus this sampler, together with a numbered certificate limited to 1300 copies for Europe only, plus a booklet, in a blue wooden presentation box with illustrated lid. The set shown is #0694. The box was made in the UK. For more details of the regular CD set, see below.

Thanks to Hans Seegers for scans of the promo CD single. Thanks to Hervé from France for the box photos.

R-0203-3 Series Of Dreams - 4:49 edit of version on The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3

The 12" single version is reported to be the full Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3 version (5:52, without the cross-fade) - more information required! Alan Hoaksey also reports a promo 12" version - more details required! The B-side of the 7" single was Seven Curses. Ralph Austin reports a rumoured 4-track CD single, CBS 656707-5, but it seems not to have been released. Peter Good has a European copy of the 2-track CD single CBS 656707-2, made in Austria - scans required.

Onno Mastenbroek reports that the Series Of Dreams promotional video had a different edit, not the same as this - any further information?

Thanks to Hans Seegers for scans of the promotional and regular releases of the Australian 2-track CD single.
 

Columbia COL 656707-7 (NL) - A-side (R-0203)

Many expert ears have listened to this track and failed to identify the Dylan song (which is not specified in the copyright registration)! However, in  "The Bob Dylan Copyright Files Supplement 1", a June 2001 addition to his book "The Bob Dylan Copyright Files", Tim Dunn identified the song, based on his knowledge of SESAC work numbers, as I'll Be Your Baby Tonight from John Wesley Harding.

Thanks to Jack from Canada for the scans.

This track from Roger's self-titled 1973 Columbia album (see 1973) is also on the 1977 Japanese promo LP Mr. D's Collection # 1 (see 1977). The US and UK artwork is virtually identical, although the US CD has a distinctive design whilst the UK CD has a generic design.

According to Rob van Estrik this release is remastered and thus recommended over the version on the original album.

Thanks to Hans Seegers for scans of the US CD.
