MTV Unplugged (1995)

This page is part of a new section of original releases by release date of international commercially-released regular stereo Dylan albums. They do not contain rarities or obscurities and are not eligible for the Searching For A Gem list. 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 releases of regular albums are now listed here and not in the yearly Promo sections.

This page is still incomplete - more entries required. For releases of this album in Columbia multi-packs, see International Album Releases (Regular) - Multi-Packs.

The Bootleg Series Vol. 4: Live 1966 (1998)

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!

Revised 06 May, 2008.

US release, Columbia CK 68556, 27 Sep 1997

For an Australian Tour 1998 Limited Edition with a bonus disc, see 1998.

This title was one of the fifteen Dylan albums scheduled for release in late 2003 as a hybrid CD/SACD, probably not only in stereo but also in 5.1 surround sound. It was removed from the final schedule and the hybrid SACD version remains unreleased.

The remix of Love Sick on the Mar 2004 Limited Edition US Dylan compilation Victoria's Secret Exclusive: Lovesick (see 2004) is slightly longer and has a much cleaner sound than on the original Time Out Of Mind album, and it's possible it comes from the as yet unreleased remixed/remastered 2003 album.

The version of Not Dark Yet on the Aug 2006 Limited Edition US CD single of Rollin' And Tumblin' (see 2006) also appears to be remastered, and may be from this version of the album too.

Daniel Lanois said of the Time Out Of Mind sessions that Bob left his (Daniel's) favourite tracks off the album - these out-takes have been rumoured for a long time:

Mississippi – original version, now released in 2001 on "Love And Theft" in a new recording

Girl From The Red River Shore - reported out-take of what might be a traditional song

Not Dark Yet – a reputedly stunning out-take version, better than the released take

Highlands – a version reputed to last for 27 minutes!

Vinyl and Tape Releases

"Time Out Of Mind" - cassette release, Columbia COL 486936 4 (Holland for Europe), 26 Sep 1997:

Columbia COL 486936 4 (Holland for Europe) - inside of cassette insert (pictures 3 and 4) (my copy bought in UK)

Columbia COL 486936 4 (Holland for Europe) - outside of cassette insert (pictures 1 and 2)

The eleven songs were divided up with seven on the A-side and four including Highlands on the B-side. The cassette itself is clear plastic with white text and made in Holland.

Picture 2 appears to be from around 1974, since two pictures from the same session are now used in the Sep 2003 hybrid SACD edition of Blood On The Tracks.
