R-0240-2 Wade In The Water (traditional) - from the "Minnesota Hotel Tape", Minneapolis, MN, 22 Dec 1961, previously released on Bakhålls Litterära Röster (The Ambush's Literary Voices), compilation CD given away with an issue of the literary magazine "Bakhåll", Sweden (see 1994). A short excerpt was also included in the Highway 61 Interactive CD-ROM (see 1995)

I Was Young When I Left Home from the same source was released on a bonus disc released with the Limited Edition of  "Love And Theft" in Sep 2001, see below.

R-0467 Handsome Molly (traditional) - Gaslight Club, New York, Oct 1962, previously unreleased
This performance has since been released on Bob Dylan Live At The Gaslight 1962, Starbucks/Hear Music/Sony Music Custom Marketing Group (USA), see 2005.

R-0294-2 To Ramona - unidentified performance misdated as The Oval, City Hall, Sheffield, England, 30 Apr 1965 (same as BDC60, see Online Performances (bobdylan.com) ), previously released on the 2000 DVD release of D.A. Pennebaker's 1965 film Don't Look Back, see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 1. This date of 30 Apr 1965 is definitely incorrect, as the genuine performance from Sheffield was already circulating among collectors.

R-0066-5 Grand Coulee Dam - with The Band, New York City, 21 Jan 1968, previously released on  the 1972 Tribute to Woody Guthrie album (Columbia/Warner Bros), see 1972

R-0205-4 Dead Man, Dead Man - New Orleans, LA, 10 Nov 1981, previously released on 1989 Everything Is Broken Columbia singles (see 1989), and on the Japanese Mr. D's Collection #3 limited edition CD (see 1993)

R-0267-6 Cold Irons Bound - El Rey Theater, Los Angeles, 16 Dec 1997 - same as BDC7 (see Online Performances (bobdylan.com) ), previously released on  the European Columbia Love Sick singles, also on a bonus disc included with the Australian tour limited edition of Time Out Of Mind, 1998 (for both see 1998)

R-0269-4 Born In Time - New Jersey Center for the Performing Arts, Newark, NJ, 1 Feb 1998 - same as BDC21 (see Online Performances (bobdylan.com) ), previously released on  the European Columbia Love Sick singles, also on a bonus disc included with the Australian tour limited edition of Time Out Of Mind (for both see 1998)

R-0468 Country Pie - Portsmouth, England, 24 Sep 2000, previously unreleased

R-0469 Things Have Changed - Portsmouth, England, 25 Sep 2000, previously unreleased (not 24 Sep 2000 as reported by some - Bob didn't play it on the first night!)

The album also included:

R-0137-4 It Ain't Me, Babe - with the Rolling Thunder Revue, Harvard Square Theatre, Cambridge, MA, 20 Nov 1975, previously released on  the 1978 Columbia promo 12" single 4 Songs From "Renaldo & Clara" (see 1978), also released on the 1993 Japanese promo CD Mr. D's Collection # 3 (see 1993) and 1995 European Unplugged Dignity CD singles (see 1995). Finally released in the USA in Nov 2002 on The Bootleg Series Vol. 5 - Bob Dylan Live 1975: The Rolling Thunder Revue, see 2002

Don Handy considers that this performance is different from the Harvard performance which is on The Bootleg Series Vol. 5 - Bob Dylan Live 1975: The Rolling Thunder Revue, and he suggest it actually comes from The Forum, Montreal, Canada, 4 Dec 1975. Both Glen Dundas and Olof Björner confirm the 20 Nov 1975 date, not 4 Dec 1975.

The other five live tracks on this album are from currently available Columbia live albums: I Don't Believe You (from The Bootleg Series Vol. 4: Live 1966); Knockin' On Heaven's Door (from Before The Flood); Shelter From The Storm (from Hard Rain); Slow Train (from Dylan And The Dead); Dignity (from MTV Unplugged).

R-0250-3 Shelter From The Storm - alternate version from Jerry Maguire film soundtrack (see 1996) and The Best Of Bob Dylan (see 1997)

R-0299 Things Have Changed - from The Wonder Boys soundtrack album as well as Columbia  compilations and singles, 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-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 track is the same version as on the Columbia Disco Teen 66 compilation (see 1966), not the original single, which appears on Masterpieces (see 1978) and Biograph (see 1985). Carsten Baumann informs me that he's checked the version on this 1966 album against 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 is now to be found on CD only on Biograph  (it's also on the non-US release The Best Of Bob Dylan Vol. 2, see 2000). 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.

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 guitar and added new backing. Also on The Best Of Bob Dylan Vol. 2, see 2000.
Now no longer a rarity since it is included in Dylan (2007) on the bobdylan.com albums page.

Thanks to David Goldsmith for reminding me about the omission of R-0250 from this entry. Despite first reports, this album did not contain the bonus live CD included with the limited UK 2000 release of The Best Of Bob Dylan Vol. 2. However, David says "It is interesting that the jewel case contains a tray for a third disc which makes me wonder if there had been at one stage an intention to include the bonus disc from Vol. 2".

The original release of this set (the limited edition) was contained in an old-style double-width jewel case which has space for the third disc. The CDs have their original designs, and show the original catalogue numbers on the discs (Columbia 487924 2 and Columbia 498361 9 respectively). The catalogue number on the front insert spine and rear insert of the set is Columbia 5020172000. The set was later released in a slim jewel case, obviously no longer a limited edition and with no room for the third disc. It had a uniform CD label design, and the inserts and both CDs have the catalogue number Columbia 5020172000 on them).

Columbia 5020172000 (Australia) - front (second release in slim double jewel case)

The song appears both in audio and video form on this Enhanced CD, which is playable in a PC. Bob doesn't appear in the video. There is also an acoustic version of Rise, but that does not include the Dylan loop. The screen shot of the video menu for some reason shows the window containing the song list as solid black.

R-0464 Return To Me [Ritorna A Me] (Danny DiMinno/Carmen Lombardo) - cover of the Dean Martin 1958 hit (not 1962 as reported in "Billboard"), recorded specially for the TV series (regular stereo version)
This track was one of the 42 rarities included for download with the Aug 2006 Apple iTunes Bob Dylan Collection, see Online Performances (Other).

R-0696 Return To Me [Ritorna A Me] (Danny Di Minno/Carmen Lombardo) - SACD stereo version (see below)

The first North American recording of this song appears to be by band leader Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians (Carmen Lombardo was Guy Lombardo's cousin), although it doesn't appear to be available on any current Guy Lombardo CD. Bob's version (on CD2, track 6), with the last verse in Italian, was recorded in New York City on 17 Dec 2000 with Larry Campbell and Tony Garnier from Bob's band plus Brian Mitchell on accordion and Shawn Pelton on drums (thanks to Joy Munsey and Olav Langum for the information). Return To Me has also been recorded by Connie Francis, Mantovani, Marty Robbins and Chris Isaac amongst many others. For interest, a couple of previous albums featuring this song are shown below.

Thanks to Øyvind Svele for the information that there is also a "acetate" sampler of this album with 25 songs on a single CD-R, including Return To Me. This has a plain white sleeve with the title and tracklisting - no artwork. More details including a scan will be added when available.

These are songs from Season 3 of the drama series. The first Sopranos soundtrack album from 1999 contained Gotta Serve Somebody, the regular album track from Slow Train Coming, see International Compilations: Various Artist Albums 1996-99.

For the DVD/VHS boxed set The Sopranos - The Complete Third Series, containing the episode in which a different edit of Return To Me appears, see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 1.

Thanks to Bill Hester for details of the Australian release and to Jack from Canada for scans of the Canadian release, which has a different sticker from the US release.

Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans of the US Super Audio CD (SACD) release which comes in a slipcase. This set can be played only by a small number of high-end DVD players (usually from Sony) or stand-alone SACD players. The material is in SACD stereo only, not 5.1 surround sound. This gives rise to a new rarity (R-0696).

The 2004 Golden Stars 3CD set Music You Heard On The Sopranos (below) does not have any Dylan content.

R-0267-7 Cold Irons Bound - El Rey Theater, Los Angeles, 16 Dec 1997 - same as BDC7 (see Online Performances (bobdylan.com) ), previously released on  the European Columbia Love Sick singles, also on a bonus disc included with the Australian tour limited edition of Time Out Of Mind, 1998 (for both see 1998), and on the Japanese live compilation Bob Dylan Live 1961-2000: Thirty-Nine Years Of Great Concert Performances, see above

Here this performance is again misdated as 20 Dec 1997, as on the Million Miles and Rare Rock Tracks promo CDs - see 1999 for both. Although Bob did perform Cold Irons Bound on 20 Dec 1997, that performance has never been officially released. Keith Owen tells me that this version is in much better sound quality than on the Japanese album!

The four other tracks on this 6-track CD were: The Times They Are A-Changin', Subterranean Homesick Blues, Tangled Up In Blue and Everything is Broken (regular album versions).

30,000 copies were produced which had to be claimed from UK HMV outlets with the coupon from the 26 May 2001 issue of "The Daily Telegraph".

"The Daily Telegraph" has also given away a Johnny Cash CD called Johnny Cash: 70th Birthday Sampler (Columbia XPCD 2643), which includes the duet of Girl From The North Country with Bob from Nashville Skyline, and a cover of It Ain't Me, Babe. This is listed in International Albums (Other Artist's Compilations).

Thanks to Jim Linwood and Keith Owen for scans.

Thanks to Pepe from Spain for the information about this variant of the May 2001 Things Have Changed Live & Unreleased USA red promo CD (CSK 16726, see here) with completely different packaging.

The graphic design of the CD card sleeve may be familiar to Bob Dylan fans - it's similar to that used on the covers of two books by Clinton Heylin about the bootleg recording industry. Bob Dylan is, of course, the most bootlegged artist in recorded music history!

This set of the three US Greatest Hits albums contains the May 2001 Live & Rare "blue promo CD" (can someone confirm the catalogue number - CSK 16720?). The bonus disc comes in a new card sleeve with the design of the slipcase as shown left. The cover of the slipcase also has a sticker with US mid-year tour dates.

In the scan to the left the black CD is the bonus disc. The booklet is inside the left-hand pocket.

Thanks to Bill Hester and Christopher Dunn for information on the Australian Limited Edition, where the digipak has a glossy surface unlike than the matt surface of the US and UK digipaks (which explains why the scans look so different).

Thanks to James Dodds for the information that there was no Limited Edition in Japan. The regular edition of "Love And Theft" came with a sticker inviting purchasers to send off a postcard to Sony Japan for the chance to win one of 2000 copies of the bonus disc or other "Dylan goods". This bonus disc did not actually arrive at the homes of the lucky winners until March 2002, see 2002.

R-0250-4 Shelter From The Storm - alternate version from Jerry Maguire film soundtrack (see 1996) and The Best Of Bob Dylan (see 1997)

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-0049      Positively 4th Street - slightly longer at 4:10 than the version from the original Greatest Hits (USA, 1967)/More Greatest Hits (UK, 1971), which is 3:56

This track is the same version as on the Columbia Disco Teen 66 compilation (see 1966), not the original single, which appears on Masterpieces (see 1978) and Biograph (see 1985). Carsten Baumann informs me that he's checked the version on this 1966 album against 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 is now to be found on CD only on Biograph  (it's also on the non-US release The Best Of Bob Dylan Vol. 2, see 2000). Thanks also to David Goldsmith for confirmation. R-0049 has ceased to be a rarity, and has been moved to the new Released Rarities 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 guitar and added new backing. Also on The Best Of Bob Dylan Vol. 2, see 2000.
Now no longer a rarity since it is included in Dylan (2007) on the bobdylan.com albums page.

The CD jewel case has a information strip similar to a Japanese obi folded over the top, shown below.

R-0516 Roll On John (Traditional) - performed by Bob during an interview with Cynthia Gooding for the "Folksinger's Choice" WBAI radio programme, New York City, recorded 13 Jan 1962, broadcast 11 Mar 1962, the track includes some chat with Cynthia Gooding.

The interview is notorious for the outrageous lies Bob tells the admiring Cynthia about his early life! (These dates are speculative, some say the programme was never actually broadcast.)

The CD is described as featuring "classic salt-of-the-earth" tracks like Oh Babe, It Ain't No Lie by Elisabeth Cotten; I Can't Be Satisfied by Muddy Waters (1959); Man of Constant Sorrow by Roscoe Holcomb (1961) and John Henry by Bill Monroe (1962). All these songs have been covered by Bob. A live performance by Bob of  Oh Babe, It Ain't No Lie from the Stadtpark, Hamburg, Germany 12 Jun 1998 was made available on bobdylan.com in Nov 1998 (see Online Performances (bobdylan.com) ) For more details of There Is No Eye see the Smithsonian web-site

Jean-Pol Hiernaux informs me that many of the tracks on the Smithsonian Folkways site are now downloadable. However, R-0516 is not included.

Thanks to Jack from Canada for scans of the CD, which comes in a digipak with a booklet, both illustrated with John Cohen's photographs.

This is a longer version (4:39) of R-0264, released on a CD included with Ronnie's book of paintings Ron Wood On Canvas: Every Picture Tells A Story, see 1998. This version has a longer intro and has been overdubbed by Scotty Moore, D. J. Fontana and Ian Jennings in addition to the original performers of Ronnie and Bob, Ian McLagan and Willie Weeks.
