This is a separate multi-year list by release date of commercially-released Various Artist stereo compilation albums released from 2004 onwards 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.
See the Promotional Albums pages of International Promotional Releases for promo-only Various Artist compilation albums with Dylan tracks. Other International Compilations are now here:
There must be hundreds of these albums from round the world! 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!

Bob's contribution to this 2CD set of songs loved by John
Lennon is Positively 4th Street on CD1. This is a tie-in with a programme
broadcast on ITV in the UK on 14 Mar 2004 called "John Lennon's Jukebox",
part of the South Bank Show series hosted by Melvyn Bragg. John Lennon's
jukebox from the 1960s still exists with its original contents and labels
handwritten by John Lennon himself, as illustrated on the front insert of
the CD. There were 41 7" singles inside, and the album has all 41 A-sides.
The jukebox must therefore contain the original 1965 7" US Columbia or
UK CBS single with Positively 4th Street/From A Buick 6 - see
Mono 7" Singles & EPs 1965. Information from Éamonn Ó Catháin. Thanks also to "HwyCDRrev" for the information that the TV programme was shown on PBS in the USA on 9 Sep 2004. Thanks to Hans Seegers for scans. |
