This is a separate multi-year list by release date of commercially-released Various Artist stereo compilation albums released in 2000 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. Promo-only Various Artist compilation albums with Dylan tracks are now included in this list. Other International Compilations are now here:
There must be hundreds of these albums from round the world! This page is incomplete. 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!

Now both Blood On The Tracks and Oh Mercy have been released in remastered hybrid SA-CD versions both R-0320 and R-0321 have become redundant. The two remastered tracks were in significantly better quality than on the regular Columbia CDs at the time, but they have now been superseded. This soundtrack album also contains another Dylan song, Not Dark Yet from Time Out Of Mind - this is the regular album version (not released in hybrid SA-CD format).

Various Artists - "Original Soundtrack: High Fidelity"
- film soundtrack album,
Hollywood Records HR-62188-2 (USA)/Hollywood Records
0109182 HWR (Germany), Mar 2000:
The artwork for the two releases is virtually identical.
R-0446 Most Of The Time
- this version was reportedly remastered from
the original 1989 Oh Mercy version
Oh Mercy was one of three Dylan albums that were remastered in 1997 but which were not released in the remastered CD format at the time. This track appeared to be from that master. It has now been superseded by the remastered hybrid SA-CD release of Oh Mercy.
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.
