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. 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!

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
| R-0452 Rising Sun (Hufsteter/Larriva/Marsico/Quintana) - Bob plays harmonica for the
Cruzados (then the Plugz), 1984 (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-0452 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. It also appears on the 2007 US Bird Song Records soundtrack album for the 2005 film Camp Burlesque, see 2007, but is not in the film itself (included in VHS & DVD 2000s Part 3 for completeness). |

Harold Lepidus informs me the video/DVD of the film also contains Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You, see VHS & DVD: Films with Dylan Album Tracks 2000s Part 1.
Thanks to Hans Seegers, Olav Langum and Stuart Moore for scans.
John Oszajca - "From There To Here" - CD: Interscope Records 0694903472 (USA); promo CD single: Interscope Records INTR 10054-2 (USA), 2 May 2000:
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 Guerreiro 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.

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. |
![]() Warner Bros A44127 (USA) - CD scan by Hans Seegers |
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 2001 audio soundtrack album, see International Album Releases (Various Artist Compilations) 2001.

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.

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 Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits (USA)/More Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits
(UK), 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
(1985).
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, R-0049M, 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 and to Bill Hester for the scans. The Limited Edition with the bonus disc wasn't released in Japan.
R-0435 appeared on the Sony Music Bob Dylan Custom Mix CD web-site, Apr 2003, see Online Performances (Other).
"The Best Of Bob Dylan Vol. 2: 5 Songs" - promo CD

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).
Jack Guerreiro's copy of COL 498540 2 has the same artwork but a slightly different CD design with a white vertical stripe instead of yellow.
It has a "MADE IN HOLLAND" sticker on the back of the jewel case, but Hans Seegers assures me this is incorrect.

Footsteps] R-0083-3 The Ballad Of Donald White These performances were originally attributed to "Blind Boy Grunt", but they are now credited to Bob Dylan. R-0458-2
Paths Of Victory Jean-Pol Hiernaux informs me that much of the Broadside/Folkways music is now downloadable from the Smithsonian Folkways site. However, none of the tracks by Blind Boy Grunt are included! Thanks to Thierry van Reeth for further information. |
