eBay description: "This is a Sony Music double-disc "Radio Special" companion to the Dylan "No Direction Home" CD and documentary, no catalogue number, no bar code, sent only to radio stations! From the copy on the back of the set: "NO DIRECTION HOME: BOB DYLAN--Part One Program time: 59:00--One (1:00) minute ID break at program time 30:36-31:36, with music bed. Part Two Program time: 59:00--One (1:00) minute ID break at program time 26:02-27:02, with music bed. This is the "official bootleg" radio companion for the PBS special "No Direction Home: Bob Dylan." A two part (two-one hour shows) music intensive radio special featuring exclusive music, interviews and other materials from Bob Dylan's personal archives. This program is hosted by David Dye. You'll hear music and interviews featured in the Martin Scorcese-directed film, "No Direction Home: Bob Dylan," which premiers on PBS stations September 26-27, 2005. This program also includes additional interviews not heard in the film. Many of the people that were witness to Dylan's progress tell us what he was like, what was going on at the time and the cultural impact of Dylan's emergence. We'll hear from poet Allen Ginsburg, singer Dave Van Ronk, Susan Rotolo, and scenesters Manny Roth, Bruce Langhorn, Carolyn Hester, Bob Neuwirth, as well as noted Dylanologist Prof. Sean Wilentz, and many more. This set is sealed, mint, unplayed and very rare. This is a super-rare promo-only item." Jack from Canada points out that the discs have the catalogue numbers COL 1391-1 and COL 1391-2 on the centre rim of the playable side.

Tim Dunn has a copy of the 2CD set with catalogue number Columbia/Legacy 82876 89682 2 that was sent out to people promising donations by a Cleveland, OH, TV station in 2006 as part of a "pledge drive" during the showing of "No Direction Home". This has no front cover illustration, just text with the title. The rear insert is the same as illustrated but with the FBI Anti-Piracy logo on the rear insert.
