This is a separate multi-year list by release date of commercially-released Various Artist stereo compilation albums released in 2005 that have been referred to me but do not qualify for my Searching For A Gem list because they contain only Bob Dylan performances which are available on officially released Dylan albums. Nevertheless, their interest value or scarcity means they're worth listing here - as far as I know some are not included on any other Internet site. Promo-only Various Artist compilation albums with Dylan tracks are now included in this list. Other International Albums and Compilations are now here:

There must be hundreds of these albums from round the world! 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!

Thanks to Bill Hester for finding this album which includes Sara from Desire, the only time I know of that this song has appeared on a Various Artists compilation. Other artists include Harry Belafonte, Tom Waits, Nina Simone, Elvis Presley, Lead Belly and Lou Reed.

17 Jan 2005 was the release date listed on Amazon UK. Peter Oudejans points out that although there is no date on either the rear insert and the CD, other Internet sites list the release as 2004.

Various Artists - "Claudio Cecchetto Presenta DJ Collection - Superstar 1]"  - compilation CD, "Sorrisi E Canzoni TV [TV Smiles And Songs]" DJC 05 02 (Italy), Feb 2005:


Sorrisi E Canzoni TV DJC 05 02 (Italy) - front scan by Peter Oudejans
Claudio Cecchetto is a well-known Italian record producer and author. Bob's unusual contribution to this pop compilation is Hurricane from Desire. The text "NON VENDIBILE SEPARATAMENTE [NOT TO BE SOLD SEPARATELY]" on the rear insert leads me to suspect that this CD came with an issue of the TV magazine, now missing.
