This is a separate multi-year list by release date of commercially-released Various Artist stereo compilation albums released in 2002 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 still 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!

 UTV Records 504 785-2 (USA) - scan by Kenneth Robson |
Bob's contribution is Honest With Me from "Love And Theft". This is just the regular album track - not an exclusive Grammy
rehearsal performance as wrongly reported in the Dylan fanzine
"Series Of Dreams", issue 90. Not only was the album released
before the Grammy rehearsals took place, but also Bob rehearsed only Cry A
While, the song he performed live on the show. For a US Columbia promo CD single with a radio edit of Honest With Me, released to coincide with the Grammy Awards, see 2002. |

On the rear of the inside booklet there is a photo where you can see Pierre Lescure on the left. He was the producer of the show and became later the manager of the French private channel "canal +". Then he became number two of the sadly famous company "Vivendi" which bought Universal. The man with the black glasses is Philippe Manoeuvre, he is the chief editor of "Rock & Folk" a French magazine. On the second CD you can find Jokerman from Bob. I think it's the regular version but remastered."
