The Contemporary Ballad Book was a 1974 Joan Baez compilation Vanguard put together, following the success of the Joan Baez Ballad Book. Unlike Ballad Book, however, this one focused on singer-songwriter material, rathter than traditional folk of the first collection. This compilation contained one previously-unreleased track, the Italian song, "C'era Un Ragazzo Che Come Me Amava i Beatles e i Rolling Stones", which appears to have been taken from one of Baez' concerts in Europe somewhere in the mid- to late-1960s.
