Various Artists - "Blowin' In The Wind: 20 Versions" - compilation CD, Classic Hits RADI-1160 (Germany), 5 Feb 2010:

This unique compilation features 20 versions of Blowin' In The Wind from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan including a live performance by Bob as track 4. Other artists include Dionne Warwick, Cher, Marianne Faithful, Joan Baez, Trini Lopez and The Seekers, though not the Peter, Paul and Mary cover version that broke Bob as a songwriter. The performance by Bob is identified incorrectly as "("live" - TV-Production/CB-TV Canada 1962)". In fact it's from New York in 1963!

R-0714-2 Blowin' In The Wind - Live on TV, Westinghouse Studios "Folk Songs And More Folk Songs", Mar 1963, broadcast May 1963
This performance from a TV show introduced by John Henry Faulk first appeared on the Martin Scorsese documentary film "Bob Dylan: No Direction Home", Sep 2005, see VHS & DVD 200s Part 3. The Canadian TV appearance wrongly referred to was on the CBC TV programme "Quest", recorded in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on 1 Feb 1964, broadcast on 10 Mar 1964. Bob did not perform Blowin' In The Wind on that occasion!

For a Sep 2010 release with 20 versions of House Of The Risin' Sun, see International Album Releases (Various Artists Compilations) 2010.

Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans.

Other contributors including myself have received copies with a giant poster by Jun Miura and a Dylan discography on the back (see my photos). Thanks to Gerd Rundel for finding a promo copy on eBay.

Thanks to Horishi Hemmi for scans of a promo flyer which consists of a folded A4 sheet. It has Jun Miura's poster on the front, pictures of Bob, Jun Miura and Bob's 2010 Japanese tour dates on the back, and details of the Dylan Ga Rock release on the inside.

R-0130-8 Rita May - Desire out-take released on 7" singles Nov 1976/Jan 1977, see 1976/1977, lyrics on bobdylan.com
R-0130 is also on the 1978 Japanese/Australian compilation Masterpieces, (see 1978) and on two limited edition Japanese CD releases, Mr. D's Collection #3 and the original version of Dylan Ga Rock (for both, see 1993). R-0130 appeared on the Sony Music Bob Dylan Custom Mix CD web-site, Apr 2003, see Online Performances (Other). It was also one of the 42 rarities included for download with the Aug 2006 Apple iTunes Bob Dylan Collection, also see Online Performances (Other).
I'm told the sound quality of this track is much improved over previous appearances, I'll check it out!

R-0054-10 Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues - recorded live with the Hawks at The Odeon Theatre, Liverpool, England, 14 May 1966, B-side of US 7" single I Want You, (see 1966)
This live version, never released on a regular Columbia album, is also on the Japanese promo LP Mr. D's Collection #1 (see 1974), the Japanese promo EP Mr. D's Collection #2 (see 1976), the 1978 Australian set Masterpieces (see 1978), the Japanese Mr. D's Collection #3 promo CD (see 1993) and the Band's retrospective Capitol/EMI set A Musical History, see 2005. All versions are as far as I know still in mono as originally recorded. Sadly, it does not appear on the B-side of a withdrawn CBS Spanish EP (see 1972), because the record was mispressed with It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry from Highway 61 Revisited instead!

R-0469-9 Things Have Changed - Portsmouth, England, 25 Sep 2000, from the Japanese live compilation Bob Dylan Live 1961-2000: Thirty-Nine Years Of Great Concert Performances, see 2001
This performance, obviously not on the 1993 release of
Dylan Ga Rock, is also on the Columbia US "blue" and "red" promo CD singles Things Have Changed Live & Unreleased, the Columbia UK promo CD The Voice Of Every Generation, the European and Canadian promo CD singles Live & Rare (for all of these see 2001).

Track listing:

CD1: Tombstone Blues (from Highway 61 Revisited); Maggie's Farm (live from The Bootleg Series Vol. 7 - No Direction Home: The Soundtrack); On A Night Like This (from Planet Waves); Everything Is Broken (from Oh Mercy); It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry (from The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3); Thunder on the Mountain (from Modern Times); Union Sundown (from Infidels); Groom's Still Waiting at the Altar (from Greatest Hits Vol. 3); Neighbourhood Bully (from Infidels); Absolutely Sweet Marie (from Blonde On Blonde); Dignity (from Greatest Hits Vol. 3); I Threw It All Away (live from Hard Rain); Odds And Ends (from The Basement Tapes); Saved (from Saved); Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again (from Blonde On Blonde); Tweedle Dee And Tweedle Dum (from "Love And Theft"); All Along The Watchtower (live from Before The Flood).

CD2: Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I Go Mine) (live from Before The Flood); Solid Rock (from Saved); Rita May (R-0130, from B-side of Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again 1976 single); Honest with Me (from "Love And Theft"); Mighty Quinn (Quinn The Eskimo) (live from Self Portrait); Changing of the Guard (from the remastered 1999 Street-Legal); Highway 61 Revisited (from Highway 61 Revisited); Rollin' And Tumblin' (from Modern Times); Subterranean Homesick Blues (from Bringing It All Back Home); Things Have Changed (R-0469, live from Bob Dylan Live 1961-2000); Wiggle Wiggle (from Under The Red Sky); Shelter from the Storm (live from Hard Rain); Outlaw Blues (from Bringing It All Back Home); Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window? (from Biograph and therefore still in mono); Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues (R-0054, live from B-side of I Want You 1966 single); Beyond Here Lies Nothin' (from Together Through Life); Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You (live from The Bootleg Series Vol. 5 - Live 1975); Like a Rolling Stone (from Highway 61 Revisited).

Two rarities on the 1993 release of Dylan Ga Rock are missing:

R-0084 George Jackson ("Big Band" version) - lyrics on bobdylan.com , from 7" singles, see 1971

R-0046 From A Buick 6 - alternate take with harmonica intro (3:06), from the original US and Japanese stereo pressings of Highway 61 Revisited (see 1965)

Thanks to Michio Kinoshita for information. Thanks to Aaron Derfel for information that six tracks appear to be remastered from their current incarnation on CD - I Threw It All Away, Solid Rock, Saved, The Mighty Quinn, Wiggle Wiggle and Shelter From The Storm. This raises hopes that Self Portrait, Hard Rain, Saved and Under The Red Sky may appear this year in remastered form.

"Mojo" Jul 2010, front scan by Fred Muller

R-0514-3 I Was Young When I Left Home (traditional) - from the "Minnesota Hotel Tape", Minneapolis, MN, 22 Dec 1961
This previously appeared on a UK Emidisc acetate in the 1960s, see Questionable Releases, and on a bonus disc with the special limited edition of "Love And Theft", see 2001 and 2002. This track was also one of the 42 rarities included for download with the Aug 2006 Apple iTunes Bob Dylan Collection, see Online Performances (Other).
Now released on The Bootleg Series Vol. 7: No Direction Home, Sep 2005, but in a version with a spoken intro, so R-0514 remains a rarity.

David McBride says: "July 2010 was the 200th issue of "Mojo" and Tom Waits was guest editor.The album was a 15 track bespoke selection culled from his wider playlist that was in the magazine and reflected his current listening tastes. Included was the Bob track I Was Young When I Left Home credited as from "Love and Theft". Phil Alexander, Editor of "Mojo", writes that Tom personally rang up Bob and his management to secure a track for this collection. Other artists featured include Hank Williams, Ray Charles and Howlin' Wolf."

R-0791 A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall - new "Afro-Cuban" version of track from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan by Rhythms Del Mundo featuring Bob Dylan

This 7-track CD in a card sleeve was given away as a bonus disc with copies of The Bootleg Series Vol. 9 - The Witmark Demos and the 9CD set The Original Mono Recordings . All tracks were recorded live at the 1st Annual Folk Festival, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA, Friday 10 May 1963. The advance artwork showed a card sleeve with spine text, which is the US design - the European and Australian card sleeves have no spine text. It also omitted the text in red "1ST  SET" and "2ND SET", which is present on all three commercial releases shown. The CD itself has the design of a 1960s "audiosonic" blank (equivalent to a CD-R today). The European release has "Made in the EU" on both the rear sleeve and the CD. The Australian release has "Distributed in Australia by Sony Music Entertainment Australia Pty. Ltd." on both the rear sleeve and the CD. The European and Australian releases have the Sony Music logo, omitted from the US release. Thanks to Derek Barker of "Isis" magazine for pointing out that Bob's set took place on Friday evening 10 May 1963, not "SATURDAY EVENING" as on the back of the sleeve, and also that the ticket price on the Brandeis poster they published in "Isis" 152 was $4.00, not $4.40!

Thanks to Andrew Wellman for news that amazon.com is listing this 2010 bonus CD for general sale in the USA and Europe on 12 Apr 2011. The 2010 disc came in a card sleeve, but the 2011 release is in a jewel case and the front insert is an 8-page stapled booklet with notes by Michael Gray, author of "Song & Dance Man III: The Art of Bob Dylan" and "The Bob Dylan Encyclopaedia" (which contains a flattering entry about me and this site). There are also several previously unreleased photographs. The catalogue number is given incorrectly as "88597 84742 2" on the rear of the front insert.

The USA vinyl release of the album comes in a clear plastic wallet with two stickers, one similar to the CD sticker. The notes by Michael Gray are included on the rear sleeve. There are two inserts, one with details of a free MP3 download (code deleted), the other advertising The Bootleg Series Vol. 9 - The Witmark Demos and The Original Mono Recordings.

The record has labels like an "audiosonic" recording blank with matrix numbers: Side 1 - 88697847431-A (written), "STERLING" (stamped), Side 2 - 88697847431-B (written), "STERLING" (stamped).

According to "Isis" newsletter 155½ this album has been released on mono vinyl in Europe as well as the USA after all. Columbia have licensed the recording to Dutch company Music On Vinyl, who produced European vinyl releases of the original mono recordings in 2010. The album is the same as the US release, with different stickers front and back (see scans below).

Thanks to Gerd Rundel for information and scans.

Thanks to Dag Braathen for finding the picture above right on eBay of a pirate copy with white vinyl and picture labels. This is definitely not an official Columbia release!
