Mr. D's Apocrypha
Columbia and CBS releases that aren't on Bob's regular albums
Four 1970s 7" singles containing non-album songs:
Spanish Is The Loving Tongue (an alternate take of which has now been
released in 2013 on The
Bootleg Series, Vol. 10 - Another Self Portrait (1969-1971) ), George Jackson,
Rita May and Trouble In Mind
(now released in 2017 on
The Bootleg Series Vol. 13 - Trouble No More 1979-1981 (Deluxe
Edition), but still a rarity)
By popular request, an extracted list from Searching For A Gem of promo or commercially-released tracks on Dylan releases from Columbia that are not available on Dylan albums in the USA. It makes up an interesting list! It was formerly presented as a "fantasy" compilation album, in an attempt to coax Columbia into releasing a Rarities Album, but I've abandoned that concept as some found it confusing. I still want it to happen, although it obviously couldn't be part of The Bootleg Series as all tracks have already been officially released.
This list doesn't include tracks from:
The deleted 1973 Dylan album, all of which are covers - see 1973
Live performances - these are on the Early Field Recordings page (up to 1989) and the Field Recordings page (after 1989 during the "Never Ending Tour")
The Traveling Wilburys releases on Warner Bros Records - see Traveling Wilburys
Studio performances that have only appeared on the "Performances" page at bobdylan.com and other web-sites - see Online Performances (bobdylan.com) and Online Performances (Other)
Duets with other artists, live or studio - these are on the Duets page
Dylan non-album performances that have appeared on soundtrack and other various artists albums on Columbia and other labels, such as Band Of The Hand - these are on the Compilations page
Bob's appearances supporting other artists - these are on the Sidesman page.
Multiple tracks on the 50th Anniversary Collections 1962-70 and other 2010s/2020s limited editions:
*The 50th Anniversary Collection 1965 set consists entirely of live tracks, see Early Field Recordings.
Revised: 07 January, 2024
 |
These tracks are all from commercially-released albums and singles. They exclude live performances, which are here (1961-87) and here (1988 onwards). |
 |
Non-Album Dylan Compositions on 7" Stereo Singles
Only three officially-released Dylan songs from singles are not available on his regular albums, all from the 1970s! Positively 4th Street and Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window? from the 1960s have not appeared on regular albums, but have since been released on Dylan compilations listed in International Album Releases (Regular).

- B-side of a 1979 Brazilian single, Slow Train Coming out-take (5:13) - this
release with Precious Angel as the A-side reportedly had the full song unlike the
versions released elsewhere, although I have never seen hard evidence for
it. |
Trouble In Mind Take 1, recorded Muscle Shoals Studio, Sheffield, AL, 30 Apr 1979) (4:50) was released in 2017 on The Bootleg Series Vol. 13 - Trouble No More 1979-1981 (Deluxe Edition).
