This yearly page now contains only the main Rarities List! Because "The Essential Bob Dylan" (2000) has been added to the bobdylan.com Albums Page, all items containing this year's new song Things Have Changed are no longer rarities, and have been moved to the corresponding pages in International Stereo Releases or International Promotional Releases. Promotional Items (Albums and Singles) are now here. All Honourable Mentions are now here.

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!

R-0359 Rise (Bob Dylan/Gabrielle/F. Unger-Hamilton/Ollie Dagois) - a looped sample from the start of the version of Knockin' On Heaven's Door from the Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid soundtrack is used throughout this song, which was #1 in the UK singles chart for several weeks from 30 Jan 2000.

This sample was used with Bob's full agreement, and he is reported to have been so pleased with the result that he waived 50% of his royalties!

Thanks to Ole Lien and Jack from Canada for scans and special thanks to Peter Gilmer for the album.

Columbia Australia single track CD-R - scan by John Gaylor
Both CD-Rs contain:

R-0299 Things Have Changed - from the 2000 Wonder Boys soundtrack album, see International Album Releases (Various Artist Compilations) 2000s Part 1, lyrics on bobdylan.com
Now no longer a rarity since it is included in The Essential Bob Dylan (2000) on the bobdylan.com albums page

The 2-track CD-R also contains:

R-0450    Things Have Changed - radio edit, 3:37 compared to album version at 5:10

The one-track CD-R is silver - the colours are refractions from the copier. The 2-track CD-R comes in a generic card sleeve with an insert listing the contents. The rear of the card sleeve is plain yellow apart from the URL "www.sonymusic.com.au". Thanks to Hans Seegers for the information that the 2-track CD-R has the catalogue number COL 87.

Cruzados - " Unreleased Early Recordings" - privately produced CD (no catalogue number) (USA), Feb 2000:
Although this CD is not an "official" CD in the sense that it was not issued by a record company, it is arguably also not a bootleg as some have reported. The CD was privately produced by the band themselves and can only be obtained from the Cruzados' official web-site

Cruzados2.jpg (28461 bytes)
Picture from Cruzados web-site

R-0452 Rising Sun (Hufsteter/Larriva/Marsico/Quintana) - Bob plays harmonica for the Cruzados (then the Plugz), 1984 (edited version, 4:40)
A re-recorded version of this song without Bob was released on the first Cruzados album just called Cruzados (Arista, 1985).

The Cruzados were previously known as the Plugz, and accompanied Bob on the NBC TV show "Late Nite With David Letterman" in New York on 22 Mar 1984 for three songs: Don't Start Me Talkin' (the Sonny Boy Williamson blues number), Jokerman and Licence To Kill. A three track EP called Bob Dylan & The Plugz circulated after that, and this EP is definitely a bootleg!

R-0473, a longer version of R-0452 (5:42), was included on a cast-iron official release, the BMG Germany 2CD compilation May Your Song Always Be Sung: The Songs Of Bob Dylan Vol. 3, see 2003. This version, timed at 4:39, appears in the 2005 film Camp Burlesque (see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 3) and its 2007 US Bird Song Records soundtrack album, see 2007.


John Oszajca - "From There To Here" - CD: Interscope Records 0694903472 (USA); promo CD single: Interscope Records INTR 10054-2 (USA), 2 May 2000:


Interscope Records 0694903472 (USA) - picture from amazon.com
R-0604 Where's Bob Dylan When You Need Him? (John Oszajca/Bob Dylan) - this song by John Oszajca features a sample from License To Kill from Infidels - the first line "Man thinks 'cause he rules the earth he can do with it as he please".

Thanks to Ole Lien for pointing out this item, to Tim Dunn for further information, and to Jack from Canada for scans. Ole also has a one-track promo CD single, INTR 10054-2, with just this song on it, shown on right. The CD single is in a standard jewel case without a front insert.

"Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground" - reference CD single, Warner Bros A44127 (USA), 8 May 2000:


Warner Bros A44127 (USA) - front of card sleeve, scan by Hans Seegers
R-0156-4 Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground (Willie Nelson) - Infidels out-take, B-side of single

This reference CD single comes in both a card sleeve with the reverse plain and a jewel case with just a front insert, again plain on the reverse. The version in the jewel case does not have a catalogue number. The title of this song is shown incorrectly as "Angels  Flying...". For original releases of this single, see 1983 (some of those got the title wrong, too!). It has never appeared on CD, and is described here as "From Vinyl Source". The CD is dated 5 May 2000.

This single was made for use in the film "Vanilla Sky" (released in 2001). Sadly this song was not used in the film, and 4th Time Around, the live version from The Bootleg Series Vol. 4: Live 1966, The "Royal Albert Hall" Concert, was used instead.

For the audio soundtrack album, see International Compilations: Various Artist Albums 2000-01.

For the film release, see Video and DVD: Films with Dylan Album Tracks.

Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans.

"The Best Of Bob Dylan Vol. 2" - compilation CD, Columbia 498361-2 (Limited Edition with Bonus Disc 498361-9), (Europe/Australia)/Sony TVK-24076 (Canada), May 2000:
All older tracks on this album have been digitally remastered using SBM - the version of Changing Of The Guards included is the extended version from the 1999 remastered Street-Legal. As the album without the Limited Edition bonus disk no longer contains any rarities, full details are in International Releases (Dylan-only Compilations) 2000s.


Columbia 498361 9 (UK) - front including sticker (my copy)

R-0299 Things Have Changed from The Wonder Boys soundtrack, lyrics on bobdylan.com
Now no longer a rarity since it is included in The Essential Bob Dylan (2000) on the bobdylan.com albums page.

R-0273 Dignity - original Oh Mercy out-take produced by Daniel Lanois from the Touched By An Angel OST - see 1998, not the 1994 Brendan O'Brien remixed version for Greatest Hits Vol. 3, which retained only Bob's vocal and piano and added new backing
Now no longer a rarity since it is included in Dylan (2007) on the bobdylan.com albums page.

R-0049 Positively 4th Street - slightly longer at 4:10 than the version from the original Greatest Hits 1/More Greatest Hits, which is 3:56

This is the version from the 1966 Columbia Disco Teen 66 compilation, not the original single, which appears on Masterpieces (see 1978) and Biograph. Carsten Baumann informs me that he's checked the version on the stereo release of Disco Teen '66 against this and the version now included on the remastered Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits (US release), and they are the same. This would mean it replaces the single version which now can be purchased only on Biograph. Thanks also to David Goldsmith for confirmation. This stereo version of R-0049 has ceased to be a rarity, and has been moved to the new Released Rarities page! The mono version of R-0049 (not giving them separate R-numbers was a mistake on my part) remains a rarity, and is still listed for 1965 and 1966.

The following two tracks were issued on a limited edition bonus CD single given away with The Best Of Bob Dylan Vol. 2 in the UK (and also Australia) in May, 2000:

R-0435    Highlands (live, previously unreleased) - from Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, Santa Cruz, CA, 16 Mar 2000 (A)

R-0436    Blowin' In The Wind (live, previously unreleased) - again from Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, Santa Cruz, CA, 16 Mar 2000 (A)
This date has been obtained from fan sources, not from Columbia, I can personally confirm it's correct as I've been contacted by the taper. A US radio station reported this performance was from Nampa, ID, 20 Mar 2000 - this cannot be correct, Bob plays harmonica here and he didn't in Nampa!

Thanks to "Les Memory" for the information that this album with the bonus disc was also released in Australia.

R-0435 appeared on the Sony Music Bob Dylan Custom Mix CD web-site, Apr 2003, see Online Performances (Other).

"The Very Best Of Bob Dylan" - 2CD set, Columbia COL 498540 2 (Sweden), May 2000:

The front cover picture is the original of the one used for The Best Of Bob Dylan Vol. 2 above. The Swedish notes are by Lennart Persson.

Now no longer a rarity since it is included in The Essential Bob Dylan (2000) on the bobdylan.com albums page.

The other 29 tracks are current album versions, the version of Changin' Of The Guards is this time the original 1978 Street-Legal version (today only found on CD on Greatest Hits Vol. 3).
