R-0552-3 Waitin' For You - Dylan composition exclusive to the film soundtrack of Divine Secrets Of The Ya-Ya Sisterhood, see 2002

Thanks to Tim Dunn for finding this on eBay, and to Hervé for the catalogue number, also Sam C. Visser for scans. Sadly Bob's song wasn't nominated in the end for a 2003 Oscar.

R-0601 'Cross The Green Mountain - edit of original song from video (3:10)

R-0586 'Cross The Green Mountain - full version of original song from film soundtrack (8:12)

Thanks to Hervé from France for the information and Sam C. Visser for the scans.

This track is listed as 2:57, but I assume it is in fact the same as R-0601, normally listed as 3:10. The CD comes in a plain sleeve with only the Canadian pressing plant address, no track details, etc.

Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scan.

R-0601-2 'Cross The Green Mountain - edit of original song from video on DVD with Limited Edition (3:10)

"Gods And Generals" is the prequel to "Gettysburg" by the same director, Ron Maxwell, based on the novel by Jeff M. Shaara.

Bob took part in a shoot for the video of this song in Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond, VA, on 23 Nov 2002. He appears in period dress with a wig and beard similar to the ones he wore at the Newport Folk Festival, Newport, RI, on 3 Aug 2002! This video, 3:10 in length, is included as a bonus DVD in the Limited Edition of the soundtrack album. Scans required of the standard edition without the bonus DVD!

The bonus DVD is NTSC, but region-free and will certainly play on a Region 2 DVD player. For details of the US DVD and VHS releases of the film itself, see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 2.

The US test pressing shown of Columbia/Legacy CK 89015 is by Digisonics of Northridge, CA, and dated 3 Feb 2003. Thanks to Gil Walker for finding this on eBay and to David Plentus for scans. Two copies of this test pressing have the identical handwritten text with later date 7 Feb 2003, so the insert has been photocopied. The CD-R just has the Columbia catalogue number and title.

Thanks to "HwyCDRrev" for further information, and to Jack from Canada for scans of the Canadian release, which comes in a regular jewel case and not a digipak.

R-0635-3 All I Really Want To Do - live from Philharmonic Hall, New York City, 31 Oct 1964, version in SACD stereo (this is now a rarity as the album released in Mar 2004 was in stereo only)

R-0636-3 All I Really Want To Do - live from Philharmonic Hall, New York City, 31 Oct 1964, version in SACD 5.1 surround sound (this too is now a rarity as the album released in Mar 2004 was in stereo only)

This SACD sampler has the same catalogue number as the previous one, but is actually the 7-track sampler included with the Limited Edition of Masked And Anonymous (see above) in a gatefold card sleeve. Cold Irons Bound from Masked And Anonymous is the seventh track. This CD design is different from the sampler CD.

The inside of the gatefold sleeve has a pocket on the right for the CD. On the left are the pictures of the fifteen Dylan albums being released on hybrid SACD in Sep 2003, on the right is a plug for The Bootleg Series Vol. 6: Live 1964 with a first look at the cover design. There is also a version of the US sampler with a slightly different rear design that was being given away with Sony SACD and DVD players at Christmas 2003. This has the same catalogue number but new text on the back: "CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE A SPECIAL PLAYER, YOU DESERVE A SPECIAL DISC". This was available both in a card sleeve and in a jewel case.

The European version of this sampler has the identical card sleeve but a different CD (silver instead of white). The CD is made in Austria.

Thanks to Peter Good for finding the US sampler on eBay, to Hervé from France for photos and to Pachi Becerril for photocopies.
