This page contains items that aren't eligible for the main
Searching For A
Gem or International Stereo Releases
lists because Bob does not personally perform on them, but
are nevertheless of interest to Dylan collectors. There's no specific
qualification for inclusion other than I have the item or it's been notified to
me by a contributor as having a noteworthy Dylan connection. All candidates for inclusion will be assessed on their
merits! By request I have included two sections of Dylan covers (Covers of
Blowin' In The Wind and Miscellaneous Covers), but this is not
intended to be a comprehensive section on Dylan Covers. The late Dave Plentus' excellent
Dylan Cover Albums site is now kept alive on Expecting Rain by Karl-Erik
Anderson here

are listed below.

Thanks to Tracy Zank for pointing out that the Carolyn Hester album listed in 1962 is in fact Carolyn's second self-titled album - the first (shown left) was released in 1961 on Tradition Records (TLP-1043) with a completely different tracklist including House Of The Risin' Sun and The Water Is Wide - Bob did not play on this album. Thanks to Tim Dunn for the album! The sleeve notes are by "Stacey Williams" (Robert Shelton), who wrote the sleeve notes for Bob's first album under the same pseudonym. This 1961 album was released on CD with three bonus tracks as The Tradition Album by Road Goes On Forever on 1 Mar 2001, and then again with the original artwork as The Tradition Album by Hot Records on 29 Sep 2006, this time with just the original 13 tracks, but remastered. |

 Coral CRL 57143 (USA mono) - front picture from www.collectorsfrenzy.com (1957, no Dylan) |
Thanks to Ian Woodward for pointing out that Carolyn's first album, also in mono only, was in fact Scarlet Ribbons from 1957 on the Coral label, produced in her home state of Texas by Norman Petty, producer of Buddy Holly and the Crickets. These two albums are together on CD1 of a 2CD set, Carolyn Hester Introduces Bob Dylan, from Jasmine Music in the UK, released on 12 Apr 2013. CD2 contains Carolyn's 1962 album plus Bob's first album and his first single (in mono). This release is presumably legal in the EU because of copyright expiry, but as it's not an official Columbia release, it is listed in Questionable Releases.

Carolyn Hester also recorded Bob's non-album song Ye Playboys and Playgirls (R-0020, see 1964) for Dot Records in Aug/Sep 1965 on her live album Carolyn Hester At Town Hall Two (Dot DLP 25649 - stereo, Dot DLP 3649 - mono). |

 Master Classics Records (Europe, 2013) - MP3 version with 24 tracks from both Town Hall LPs |
Thanks to Tim Dunn for information that this version has a new final verse: "Ringo just got married, now he'll never marry me; Never marry me, never marry me; Ringer just got married, now he'll never marry me, Not now and no other time". The liner notes by Carolyn include the credit: "For Bobby in hopes he won't object to the very last verse (it's about a friend of his, anyway!)." (Actually, most of her lyrics do not match the Dylan version in "Lyrics 1962-2001".) This album was also released in the UK as Dot Records DLP 3638 (mono), thanks to Ronald Born for scans of a UK test pressing in a plain white sleeve with details on a sheet pasted on the front. The song was also released as a single in the UK and on a French EP taken from the album.

Martin Carthy - "The Carthy Chronicles" - 4CD boxed set, Free Reed Records FRQCD-60 (UK), Apr 2001:
 Free Reed Records FRQCD-60 (UK) - picture from Free Reed Records web-site |
The Winter 2000 issue of Dylan fanzine "The Bridge" reported Bob would be heard playing harmonica on Martin Carthy's version of The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll, which now appears on the boxed set The Carthy Chronicles from Free Reed Records. I later heard from Neil Wayne of Free Reed Records that this would sadly not be the case (presumably they couldn't get permission to use the performance with Bob). However, the boxed set (pictured left from the Free Reed web-site) is still of great interest to Dylan fans. Martin Carthy championed the unknown Bob Dylan during his visit to England in late 1962/early 1963 and helped him to get him gigs at small folk clubs in the London area. The set booklet includes text about Bob and a photograph of Martin and Bob performing together at the Troubadour in London on 15 Jan 1963. And several of the songs will be familiar to Dylan fans...

Went To See The Gypsy
- alternate take to the version released
on New Morning
This take (now revealed to be Bobless!) is described by Al Kooper as
"a conception I had for Dylan to sing over". Performers
are Al Kooper (guitars/organ/vocals), P. P. Arnold (vocals), Tom Cosgrove
(guitar), Stu Woods (bass) and Rick Marotta (drums). The only recording
details given are "Columbia Studios, New York, 1970", but
Michael Krogsgaard in his series of articles "Bob Dylan: The
Recording Sessions" shows Cosgrove and Marotta present at the New
Morning sessions only at an overdub session on 30 Jun 1970, so I
assume this session is where this track comes from. This version of the
song also appears
on the French 2CD set Chroniques Volume 1, see
2005.
Thanks to Ian Woodward for scans of the promo "Special Advanced CD" which comes in a 2CD slimline jewel case instead of a digipak and has the commercial release colour artwork in monochrome.
