This yearly page now contains only the main Rarities List. Promotional Items (Albums and Singles) are now here. All Honourable Mentions are now here. Full details of "The 1966 Live Recordings", which together with the studio recordings from "The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 - Bob Dylan 1965-1966 The Cutting Edge Collector's Edition" form the equivalent of the "50th Anniversary Collection 1966" have been added here. Because "The 1966 Live Recordings" is a very limited edition, all tracks except Manchester, 17 May 1966, have been classified as rarities.

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!

R-1646 Masters Of War - previously unreleased recording, Alan Lomax's apartment, Manhattan, New York, Jan 1963

As described by Ian Woodward in "Entering the 'Madhouse'" (Isis 175, July-August 2014), when Dylan returned from London in January 1963, Lomax recorded him not only playing Masters Of War but talking about how he had recorded it in Putney (where the "Madhouse" rehearsals took place) and about how it was prompted by the Macmillan-JFK talks regarding Britain getting Polaris. This track is on LP5 "The Day Is Past And Gone".

"Dylan Revisited: All Time Best" - 5CD boxed set, Sony Music SICP 4761-65 (Japan), 13 Apr 2016:


SICP 4761-65 (Japan) - front with obi and sticker, scan by Jack from Canada
This 5CD limited edition boxed set with 87 tracks is being released in Japan in conjunction with Bob's April 2016 tour there, and also to celebrate his 75th birthday. The set was compiled by Kenta Hagiwara, who also wrote the liner notes, with lyrics translated by Goro Nakagawa (English lyrics for some songs aren't included "by the artist's intention"). The publicity says this is the first Dylan compilation exclusively released by Sony Music Japan, but reading the "Dylan-only Compilations" pages of this web-site will quickly show that this is very much untrue! There have been many exclusive Japanese releases from the 1960s onwards. The price of this set is ¥10,800 ($98)! It is listed here because of of the tracks on CD5 is a rarity. Full details are in Dylan-Only Compilations 2010s.

This new 3CD set in a book-style digipak compiled by Pat Thomas contains the original 1983 First Blues double LP on CDs 1 and 2 (see 1983), and on CD3 eleven previously unreleased songs from Ginsberg's 1971 and 1982 recording sessions plus demos and live recordings featuring Bob Dylan and Arthur Russell. In addition to the recordings, the set also includes writings and drawings from Ginsberg’s archives, a 28-page booklet of photos and an essay from set producer Pat Thomas featuring interviews with original participants. Pat Thomas has also compiled Listen, Whitey! The Sounds Of Black Power 1967-74 (see 2012) including George Jackson (see 1971).

The original 1983 First Blues double LP was released on CD in 2013, along with a seven track vinyl sampler, for which see 2013.

R-0157-3 Going To San Diego (Allen Ginsberg) - Bob contributes vocals and plays guitar, piano and organ, recorded New York, 9-17 Nov 1971, from First Blues (John Hammond Records, see 1983)
Now also released on the Allen Ginsberg compilation Material Wealth, also compiled by Pat Thomas, see 2024.

R-0159-4 Vomit Express (Allen Ginsberg-Bob Dylan) - Bob contributes vocals and plays guitar, piano and organ, recorded New York, 9-17 Nov 1971, from First Blues (see 1983), also on Allen Ginsberg's 1994 CD boxed set Holy Soul Jelly Roll: Poems And Songs 1949-1993 (see 1994)

R-0158-3 Jimmy Berman Rag (Allen Ginsberg/Bob Dylan) - Bob contributes vocals and plays guitar, piano and organ, recorded New York, 9-17 Nov 1971, first released on Disconnected - The Dial-A-Poem Poets Double, Giorno Poetry Systems (USA), 1974 (see 1974), also on First Blues (see 1983)

R-1648    Nurse's Song (Allen Ginsberg/William Blake) - Bob contributes vocals and plays guitar, piano and organ, recorded at The Record Plant, New York, NY, 9-17 Nov 1971 (9:17), new to this compilation
Thanks to Bob Stacy for information that Nurse's Song was one of the songs recorded at the Ginsberg sessions in Nov 1971, and that version of Nurse's Song (included here) is timed on bootlegs at 9:08. There are two versions of Nurse's Song on CD3 of Allen Ginsberg's 1994 CD boxed set Holy Soul Jelly Roll: Poems And Songs 1949-1993 (see 1994) - Nurse's Song (Experience) (track 9, 2:07) and Nurse's Song (Innocence) (track 21, 7:12), but Larry Crum says neither include Bob. Allen Ginsberg also performed Nurse's Song at PBS-TV Studios, New York, on 30 Oct 1971 with Bob on guitar, but that performance remains officially unreleased. Another version of Nurse's Song
performed by Allen Ginsberg at Gerdes Folk City, NYC, October 23, 1975, was included in the film Renaldo & Clara, see VHS & DVD 1970s.

R-1649    Spring (Merrily Welcome) (Allen Ginsberg) - Bob contributes vocals and plays guitar, piano and organ, recorded at The Record Plant, New York, NY, 9-17 Nov 1971, new to this compilation

R-1650    September On Jessore Road (Allen Ginsberg-Bob Dylan) - recorded at The Record Plant, New York, NY, 9-17 Nov 1971, Bob plays piano, organ, acoustic and electric guitars on this track (14:34), new to this compilation
Thanks to Larry Crum for determining that the version of September On Jessore Road (10:34) which first appeared on Allen Ginsberg's 1994 CD boxed set Holy Soul Jelly Roll: Poems And Songs 1949-1993 (R-0235, see 1994), is different from this take, and also different from the 1:17 excerpt of this song which appeared on a Sing Out! magazine flexi-disc (R-0225, see 1972).

R-1651    Do The Meditation Rock (Allen Ginsberg) - recorded Rundown Studios, Santa Monica, CA, 23 Feb 1982, Bob plays bass for Allen Ginsberg, new to this compilation (4:14)
Thanks to Larry Crum for information that the version of this song on Allen Ginsberg's 1994 CD boxed set Holy Soul Jelly Roll: Poems And Songs 1949-1993 (see 1994) was recorded in 1989 without Bob.

In "Tangled Up In Tapes" Glen Dundas records that Bob may also have played on Tyger (the famous William Blake poem set to music by Allen Ginsberg) in New York on 20 Nov 1971 (CD2, track 8). However, he also states that this track may have been recorded at a later date without Bob, as indeed it was, in Feb-Mar 1981, as stated on the back page of the "Gallimaufry" (the insert with First Blues), where the actual musicians are credited.

"The Times They Are A-Changin'" - stereo hybrid SA-CD release, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab UDSACD 2123 (USA), 2016; "Bob Dylan" - *John Wesley Harding" - mono hybrid SA-CD releases, Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs MFSL UDSACD 2177-83 (USA), 2016:


Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs MFSL UDSACD 2177 (USA) - front of card sleeve, picture from www.musicdirect.com (mono)
In Oct 2016 there was a simultaneous release on hybrid SA-CD and vinyl from the US audiophile company Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab of seven Dylan mono albums excluding Blonde On Blonde. Because Highway 16 Revisited is "2182" and John Wesley Harding is "2183", it would appear there was never any intention to release a mono hybrid SA-CD release of Blonde On Blonde. There were no Columbia SA-CD releases of mono albums. Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab also released an enhanced stereo version of The Times They Are A-Changin' in 2016. Because these are all limited editions, these albums are listed here as single rarities.

This 2016 5CD set in a slipcase contains five original Roger McGuinn releases in card sleeves including the 1973 Roger McGuinn album with R-0095.

CD1 Roger McGuinn (1973) includes I'm So Restless (R-0095)

R-0095 I'm So Restless (Roger McGuinn) - Bob plays harmonica and gets a name check in the lyrics as "Mr. D", see 1973
I'm So Restless is also on the 1974 Japanese promo LP Mr. D's Collection # 1 (see 1974) and on the 1991 McGuinn solo Columbia compilation CD Born To Rock And Roll (see 1991). Because this is a re-release of the original 1973 Roger McGuinn album this is not counted as a new occurrence.

CD2 Peace On You (1974) has no Dylan content
CD3 Roger McGuinn And Band (1975) includes a cover of Knockin' On Heaven's Door from Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid
CD4 Cardiff Rose (1976) includes a cover of Up to Me (the song's first release)
CD5 Thunderbyrd (1977) includes a cover of Golden Loom (the song's first release)

Bob's versions of Up To Me and Golden Loom were released in 1991 on The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3 [Rare and Unreleased] 1961-1991.
