Audio: International Album Releases - Other Artists' Compilations with Dylan Album Tracks

Duets by Emmylou Harris - a 1988 Reprise compilation that originally included Mozambique from Desire

[ Up ] [ International Albums - Index of Regular Albums ] [ Questionable Releases ] [ International Albums - Dylan-only Compilations ] [ International Albums - Various Artist Compilations ] [ International Albums - Bob on Other Artists' Albums ] [ Singles & EPs US & International ]

This is a page you might not expect! It includes promo and commercially-released stereo compilation albums by other artists. However, each of them features a Bob Dylan track from one of his officially released Dylan albums. They do not qualify for my Searching For A Gem list, but nevertheless, their interest value or scarcity means they're worth listing here - as far as I know some are not included on any other Dylan-related Internet site.

Other International Compilations are now here:

Revised 14 February, 2008.

Single Artist Compilations with one song including Bob Dylan

Qualification: all the songs on the album are from one artist, but one or more of them is a regular album track from Bob (not a non-album appearance in a Duet or as a Sidesman, which have their own pages).

Emmylou Harris

Emmylou Harris - "Duets" - compilation LP, Reprise 25791-1 (USA), Oct 1988:

Reprise 25791-1 (USA) - front cover scan by Les Kokay

This compilation contains the song Mozambique with Bob from Desire. It is very collectable because the album was withdrawn after a dispute with Bob's management could not be resolved. Duets was later reissued on Reprise (LP - 1991, CD - 1993) without the Dylan track.

Information and scans from Les Kokay.

There is also a 2000 Australian CD compilation, Singin' With Emmylou, Raven Records RVCD93, subtitled "20 Country Recordings Featuring the Duet & Backing Voice of Emmylou Harris". Mozambique more accurately fits into the latter category than a "Duet", but again isn't included.

Al Kooper

Al Kooper - "Al's Big Deal/Unclaimed Freight: An Al Kooper Anthology" - compilation 2LP set: Columbia 33169 (USA)/CBS S 88093 (CBS 80481-80482) (UK), 1975/CD: Columbia CGK 45386 (USA), 1989:

Columbia CGK 45386 (USA) - scan by Dave Plentus

This rare album contains If Dogs Run Free, the regular version from New Morning. The UK 2LP set has catalogue number CBS 88093, but the individual records are numbered CBS 80481 and CBS 80482.

Information from Dave Plentus: "According to the CD liner notes, the CD was resequenced, dividing the songs into two sections, "The Songs" and "The Jams," with If Dogs Run Free being in the latter. Also several tracks were deleted due to either time restraints or lack of proper masters, and one song was added since it was not available elsewhere on CD."
The Songs: New York City (You're A Woman) • I Can't Quit Her • I Stand Alone • Brand New Day • The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter [new to the CD] • Sam Stone • Jolie • I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know
The Jams: Bury My Body • Albert's Shuffle • The Weight • The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy) • If Dogs Run Free • Season Of The Witch
LP-only songs [omitted from the CD]: My Days Are Numbered • Without Her • So Much Love • I Got A Woman.

Thanks to Dave Plentus and Kenneth Robson for information and scans.
