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

This is a separate multi-year list by release date of commercially-released Various Artist stereo compilation albums released between 1996 and 1999 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.
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:
