This page lists Bob Dylan stereo promotional singles in all formats from 2000 onwards. They do not contain rarities, but are none the less very collectable. All the singles included here were released exclusively for promotional purposes - promotional releases of commercially released singles that don't contain rarities are listed on the various US & International Stereo Singles & EPs pages, see International Stereo Releases. For illustrations of all the generic 7" single sleeves used by Bob's record companies from the 1960s onwards, see the 7" Single Sleeves page. (A single has much less value to a collector if it doesn't have its correct original sleeve.) For earlier promotional singles, see the links above.

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!

Music From The Motion Picture "Wonder Boys" - promo CD singles, Columbia/Sony Music Soundtrax CSK 46489 (USA), Jan 2000/Columbia PRCD 98028 (Mexico), 2000:
For the DVD release of Wonder Boys, see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 1. The film contains both the full version of the song played over the closing credits, and a shorter version played over the opening credits.


Columbia/Sony Music Soundtrax CSK 46489 (USA) - Columbia PRCD 98028 (Mexico) has the same front (my copy)

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.

Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans.

Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans.
