Audio: International Album Releases - Various Artist Compilations 2003

This is a separate multi-year list by release date of commercially-released Various Artist stereo compilation albums released in 2003 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:

International Albums: Regular Albums from Round the World - Index

International Compilations: Other Dylan-only Compilations from Round the World

International Compilations: Dylan Album Tracks on Other Artist's Albums

US & International Singles & EPs

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!

WSM 5050466-2383-2-0 (Germany) - front insert scan by Hans Seegers

Bob's contribution is Like A Rolling Stone from the 1995 MTV Unplugged album, recorded "live" at the Sony Theater, New York, 18 Nov 994

Bob didn't appear on the Vol. 1 album. Other artists included are Sting, Eric Clapton, REM, Tori Amos, Sheryl Crow, Rod Stewart and Elton John. As eight out of the sixteen tracks on this album are previously unreleased, it would have been a great opportunity also to have included one of the fine performances from Bob's MTV sessions on 17 and 18 Nov 1984 that weren't released on the 1995 album! Oh, well...

Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. This album, which was TV-advertised in the UK, is apparently sourced from Germany.

This very rare Australian release compiled by Simon Grigg, Peter Urlich and Martine Woodmason contains Lay, Lady, Lay from Nashville Skyline as track 22. Confusingly, Huh!

EMI Music France 7243 584 424 2 7 (France) - guitar competition entry form

EMI Music France 7243 584 424 2 7 (France) - CD1 with Bob

Bob's contribution to this 2CD set is Don't Think Twice, It's All Right from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. The track selection is strange - inclusions such as Leonard Cohen, Simon & Garfunkel and Donovan are to be expected, but artists like REM, Norah Jones and Cat Stevens seem unlikely choices!

The set is in a slimline 2CD jewel case inside a card slipcase. The rear insert is identical to the rear of the slipcase. The folded front insert has a tear-off postcard with a competition to win one of five guitars if you answer three questions correctly. The first is with which artist did Bob have "une relation amoureuse" - Joan Baez, Janis Joplin or Carly Simon?
