"By popular demand", here's a list of the latest Bob Dylan Rarity Updates made to the site. If you have any items to add to the site, please contact me here. Please make sure the subject of your message includes the word "Dylan"- this will ensure it's not put in the trash by my Spam filter. This is absolutely vital - incoming Spam is up to 13,300 messages per day, and I'm sure some of your valuable messages have been missed! Please retry if your message was rejected or if you haven't received a reply.

Sony abandons CD promos - thanks to Ian Woodward for news that Sony Music is becoming the first major record company in the UK to abandon CD promos in favour of digital downloads.

Contacting Bob Dylan
This
is a fan site with no connection to Bob - that means you
can't contact him through me! I used to have a postal address
that I thought was correct, but I have now been informed by someone who
wrote to that address that their mail was returned. I have never had an
email address. I can only suggest you contact Bob's publisher Simon &
Schuster or use the contact address at bobdylan.com
.
I also have no means of helping anyone who wants to meet Bob Dylan or
obtain his autograph!
Ongoing virus and spam effect on mail services
I obviously have to make this site's email address openly available so it's being abused by third parties to send Spam. Some correspondents use ISPs whose Anti-Spam policies now reject replies from me as Spam. If I can't send a message to you, I'll post a reply on this page. Therefore, if you're expecting a reply from me and haven't received one, please look here.
Picture Submissions:
Because of the huge number of submissions to this site I would be very grateful if you could submit scanned pictures 100% ready to be added to a page. Sadly, digital photos are usually disappointing with unrealistic colours, unwanted reflections and badly distorted geometrically, so I prefer not to use them. Taking digital photos and sending them to me is usually a waste of your time! That means all pictures should be aligned so they're exactly horizontal and vertical, especially label pictures, and cropped to be exactly square (or 2:1 if gatefold). I add pictures to the site at 320x320 (640x320 for gatefold) but I like submissions to be 300 dpi so I can show details if necessary. Pictures of sleeve/label details you submit should be either 1:1, 2:1 or 3:1, I can't easily use pictures on my pages with different width/height ratios as they spoil the look of the pages. Scan LP sleeves in four sections on a flatbed scanner and "stitch" them together in a program like Adobe PhotoShop or Paint Shop Pro to show the whole sleeve. (It's easy!)
Revised: 12 March, 2010
"I haven't known peace and quiet for so long I can't
remember what it's like."
Bob Dylan, "Idiot Wind", 1974
"News" and "Updates" are now two separate pages - for "News", see here.
All page changes are made with the aim of keeping pages below 50Kb if possible. The main Rarities List is now in individual year pages, which now contain only the main Rarities List. Access the yearly pages by going to the appropriate decade (Part 1 - the 1960s, etc.). The site has been split internally into decade folders. Most of this should be invisible to visitors, but several pages that previously covered more than one decade have now been split. The Rarities header page for each decade now contains links to the other audio pages for that decade. To remove some confusion I have stopped using separate R-numbers for mono and stereo rarities - a mono version now has the same R-number as the stereo version with an "M" suffix, e.g. the mono version of "R-0001" is "R-0001M". This has released several R-numbers which have now been reused.
Mono 7" Singles & EPs (up to 1976) have their own pages in International Mono Releases. "International Mono Releases" now has a page per official album plus several more for compilation albums - it also has multiple pages for mono 7" Singles and EPs.
"International Stereo Releases" is split into "Regular Albums" (again with one page per album), "Compilations" (in multiple sections) and "International Stereo Singles". All stereo promo album releases including Radio Station Albums have now been moved to the appropriate album page in International Albums (Regular). Similarly, all stereo promo singles have now been moved to the appropriate singles pages of International Singles. This has removed many cross-references between those pages and the former Promo albums and singles pages. Singles are now in a single multi-part chronological list with the former "US Stereo Singles", "International Stereo EPs & CD Singles" and "Promotional Singles" pages combined. All cross-references remaining have been updated, but if I've missed any, please let me know. For links see below.
"VHS & DVD" is split into multiple pages by decade. All Honourable Mentions are here. Traveling Wilburys rarities are here.

In answer to queries about making the pages "printer-friendly", the volatility of the site means I strongly discourage people from printing out these pages. Any printed page would soon be out-of-date! For proof of this, just see below. Also, because of the regular page restructuring that seems to be required as the site expands, if you link to the site, it's best to link to the Home Page only.
This list by date covers the last three months, and only includes additions, not changes or corrections to existing entries:
