This is a separate multi-year list by release date of commercially-released Various Artist stereo compilation albums released in 2021 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:
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!

Various Artists - "Dylan ...Revisited" - CD given away with "Uncut" magazine, June 2021, UNCUT 2012 06 (UK), 16 Apr 2021:
Peter Coulthard confirms the version included on this Uncut CD (4:00) was edited specifically for this CD. The acoustic version included on The Bootleg Series Vol. 16 - Springtime In New York 1980-1985 is 5:50 in length and has an additional couple of verses but no refrain after the fourth verse. The refrain after the third verse has been copied and then pasted after the fourth verse. This entry is therefore included in 2021. Both the acoustic and band versions are included on the 5CD The Bootleg Series Vol. 16 - Springtime In New York 1980-1985 Deluxe Edition but only the band version is on the 2CD set.
Thanks also to Derek Barker of "Isis" magazine, Harold Lepidus, André Wilbers and Peter Coulthard.

Compilations with Out of Copyright Tracks
Sony let the copyright to the 1962 releases of Bob Dylan and Bob's first single Mixed Up Confusion expire in 2012. This has led to many budget record labels releasing unauthorised editions of Bob Dylan or including tracks from the album on compilations without authorisation. These are now listed separately from the other Various Artists Compilations. Sony has of course rectified this situation by renewing the copyrights of the albums from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan onwards, and with the limited edition 50th Anniversary Collection releases from 1962 onwards.
Various Artists - "A Grand Tour Of The USA" - compilation 3CD set, Not Now Music NOT3CD333 (UK), 2021:
Bob's contribution is Talkin' New York from Bob Dylan on CD3. This is almost certainly unauthorised and included because the copyright in the EU had expired.
Thanks to Peter Oudejans for information and scans.
