This is the seventh part of a separate multi-year list by release date of international (now including the USA, which was once listed separately) promo and commercially-released stereo 7" and 12" singles that have been referred to me but do not qualify for my Searching For A Gem list because they contain only 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 many are not included on any other Internet site. Special thanks to Hans Seegers for many of these items! This page is incomplete - more entries required. All promo-only singles and promo versions of commercially released singles that were formerly listed in the Promotional Items sections of the yearly pages are now listed here.

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!

This promo one-track CD single comes in a regular jewel case with front and rear inserts.

R-0299 Things Have Changed - a song written and recorded specially for this film in 1999, lyrics on bobdylan.com
Now no longer a rarity since it is included in The Essential Bob Dylan (2000) on the bobdylan.com albums page.

The insert notes say this is Bob's first song written and performed especially for a movie since Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid in 1973. The writer has obviously not referred to these pages, where he or she would have found Band Of The Hand from the film of the same name in 1986, and Night After Night plus Had A Dream About You, Baby from Hearts Of Fire in 1987!

There is also a Mexican version of this promo CD single, Columbia PRCD 98028. This is the only Mexican Dylan promo CD single so far. When the film was released in Mexico it was retitled Loco Fin De Semana [Crazy Weekend] but here it is still Wonder Boys.

Stuart Sonshine has a Columbia/Sony Music Soundtrax USA advance test CD-R with date "1/11/00" (11 Jan 2000) - scan required.

The CD-R test pressings shown here are of the full song. The first comes in a plain black card sleeve and is undated, the second is dated "1/11/00" (11 Jan 2000), and the third is dated 5 Feb 2001 and comes in a slimline CD single jewel case with an insert.

Thanks to Hans Seegers, Pachi Becerril, Sam Plessers and John Gaylor for information and scans.
