On the European CD and LP versions Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door was originally released with an overdubbed three second loop of audience hand clapping and whistling, making the track virtually unlistenable. This overdub was removed on later releases and Sony Music replaced the CD at the customers wish.
Dignity, John Brown and Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door are also released as CD and cassette singles in various versions. On one of the Dignity singles It Ain’t Me, Babe from Renaldo & Clara (Cambridge, MA, November 20, 1975) is released for the first time.
The CD-ROM "Highway 61 Interactive" contains a number of ”worlds” which the user can visit and check out various scenes with photographs and memorabilia, listen to interviews or song snippets, and watch videos. Lyrics to most released Dylan songs are included.
The CD-ROM was produced by Graphix Zone Inc. and Sony Music Entertainment, 1995. It contains one song, "House of the Rising Sun", that is playable on an ordinary CD player and 1879 files totaling 612,781,934 bytes for use on a multimedia computer. The same CD-ROM works both on a PC (with MS-Windows) and on a Macintosh computer.
There are at least two official releases of the CD-ROM plus a promo release. The latter is rumored to contain some early material (1958), which was excluded on the official releases. The main difference between the different official releases seems to be that some bugs in the earlier release(s) have been fixed, e.g. that the program hanged when you tried to save your progresses.
The CD-ROM contains among other things:
