This page includes all stereo releases of the 1967 album released in the UK and elsewhere with a different tracklist from the US 1967 Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits album (see International Albums (Regular). It has been separated from International Album Releases (Dylan-only Compilations) 1960s because of the large number of releases. This album is also included on the 1967 page because it contains rarities! The mono releases of this album are listed in 1967 and International Mono Releases - Dylan-Only Compilations 1960s.
This page is still incomplete. 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 -

Vinyl and Tape Releases
"Greatest Hits" - stereo vinyl compilation LP, CBS SBPG 62847 (UK), Mar 1967, re-released 1975; CBS S 62847 (UK), 1985; CBS 460907 1 (UK), 1988:
This album has the same serial number as the 1967 French Greatest Hits release with the US tracklist (see International Albums (Regular). The stereo release was released in at least nine countries world-wide as well as the UK: Greece, Holland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, India, Israel, Kenya and New Zealand.
This release had a different front sleeve picture (by Jerry Schatzberg from the Blonde On Blonde sessions) and a different tracklist from the US version - Positively 4th Street is missing (which means that every track here had previously appeared on LP in the UK), but is replaced by She Belongs To Me. (This swap was reversed on the second Greatest Hits UK and US vinyl albums!) There are two additional tracks: It's All Over Now, Baby Blue and One Of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later).
This UK tracklist is:
Side 1: Blowin' In The Wind (error with first guitar note missing, R-0251, see 1967); It Ain't Me, Babe; The Times They Are A-Changin'; Mr. Tambourine Man; She Belongs To Me; It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
Side 2: Subterranean Homesick Blues; One Of Us Must Know (Sooner Or Later) (unfaded stereo version, R-0537, see 1967); Like A Rolling Stone; Just Like A Woman; Rainy Day Women # 12 & 35 (unique 2:06 edit, R-0656, see 1967); I Want You
Whether the 1960s UK pressings actually contain R-0656 is now in doubt since on my copy listed below Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 is the full album version at 4:35, despite being listed as 2:06 on the sleeve. Hans Seegers believes that only the non-UK pressings of this album such as the Greek releases listed below had the 2:06 edit! This compilation was released in Italy as Il Meglio Di Bob Dylan N. 1 in 1976, see International Album Releases (Dylan-only Compilations 1970s). On that LP Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 was listed as 4:35.
The US tracklist is:
Side 1: Rainy Day Women # 12 & 35 (album version); Blowin' In The Wind; Subterranean Homesick Blues; Like A Rolling Stone
Side 2: Positively 4th Street (1965 single); The Times They Are A-Changin'; It Ain't Me, Babe; Mr. Tambourine Man; I Want You; Just Like A Woman
First release (Mar 1967)
 CBS SBPG 62847 (UK) - front scan by Hans Seegers (first release) |
Hans Seegers' first release copy has a laminated front sleeve with three fold-over flaps, printed "STEREO"/arrows logos on the front and rear of the sleeve, and the catalogue number is listed as "SBPG 62847" on the rear. The record shows the playing speed as "33" on both sides and the songs are credited to "Blossom Music" and "B. Feldman" with individual publishing dates. All songs on Side 1 are credited to "Blossom Music" and on Side 2 tracks 1 and 3 are credited to "Blossom Music" while tracks 2, 4, 5 and 6 are credited to "B. Feldman". There are no track timings. |

 CBS SBPG 62847 (UK) - detail of Side 2, scan by Hans Seegers (first release, "Blossom Music, "B. Feldman & Co", multiple publishing dates) |
On the Side 2 label, producer Bob Johnston's name is misspelled as "Bob Johnson". This mistake was repeated on the labels of all the releases. The rear sleeve has the printer information at bottom left and the CBS copyright information at bottom right. It was printed by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. and has "GB" printed vertically at bottom right.

Second release (late 1967)
The two later sleeves have just "62847" as the catalogue number on the rear sleeve. Gerd's second release copy has a white "STEREO"/arrows logo sticker to the left of the CBS logo on the rear sleeve. The bottom of the sleeves are completely different - the first and second releases have the printer information at bottom left and the CBS copyright information at bottom right. The first release sleeve was printed by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. and the second and third sleeves were printed by Ernest J. Day & Co., Ltd. All sleeves have "GB" printed vertically next to the spine at bottom right.

CBS SBPG 62847 (UK) - front (second, third and fourth releases, my copy) |
The record of Gerd Rundel's second release copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - SBPG 62847 A2, Side 2 - SBPG 62847 B2. His Side 1 label is the same as the first release and has "33" as the playing speed, while his Side 2 label is the same as mine below with "33⅓" as the playing speed. All songs on Side 1 are still credited to "Blossom Music" and on Side 2 tracks 1 and 3 are credited to "Blossom Music" while tracks 2, 4, 5 and 6 are credited to "B. Feldman". This time all tracks are shown as "è1966". Again, there are no track timings. |

Third release (1968)
|
|
My third release copy was bought in mid-1968 and has the same front sleeve as the second release. The rear sleeve has a gold foil "Stereo" sticker to the left of the CBS logo. The rear sleeve also has a text box about CBS stereo records, shorter copyright information at bottom left, and printer information at bottom right. The record labels show the playing speed at "33⅓". All songs on Side 1 are still credited to "Blossom Music" and on Side 2 tracks 1 and 3 are credited to "Blossom Music" while tracks 2, 4, 5 and 6 are credited to "B. Feldman". This time all tracks are shown as "è1966". Again, there are no track timings. My third release copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - SBPG 62847 A2, Side 2 - SBPG 62847 B1 (Henry V. Bell's copy has the same numbers). |

 CBS SBPG 62847 (UK) - front scan by Lars M. Banke (alternate third release) |
Lars M. Banke has two copies of this album with exactly the same record labels as my third release copy but with very different rear sleeves. The first is almost the same as mine with a gold foil "Stereo" sticker, but has no printer's credits at bottom right. The second has a rear sleeve similar to the second release rear sleeve, with a red printed "STEREO"/arrows sticker on top centre and CBS copy right information on two lines at bottom right. There is no text box about CBS stereo records and the printer's name of Ernest J. Day is on a third line at bottom right instead of being at bottom left as on the second rear sleeve. Also the CBS logo at top right is bigger than on the rear sleeves of the other two third release copies. | |||

The fourth release from 1968-69 has the same front sleeve as the second and third releases, but a different rear sleeve with no stereo indication and no printer's name. On the record labels the credit to Blossom Music has been replaced by Kinney Music. All songs on Side 1 are credited to "Kinney Music Ltd." and on Side 2 tracks 1 and 3 are credited to "Kinney Music Ltd." while tracks 2, 5 and 6 are credited to "Big Ben Music Ltd." and only track 4 remains credited to "B. Feldman & Co. Ltd.". Again all tracks are shown as "è1966" and there are no track timings. The playing speed is again "33⅓".

Lars M. Banke has a copy of the album in a variant of this fourth release sleeve but where the record labels have the alternate 1970s orange/yellow CBS label design with the album title on one line as Patrick Helfrich's copy below. The "GB" printed vertically at bottom right on the rear sleeve is missing. |

Arie de Reus has a 1978 UK Tour Press Pack including a copy of Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits. The sleeve is the same as the fourth 1960s release above, but the record has orange/yellow labels. The rear sleeve has a gold CBS promo stamp.
Fifth release (1975)
 CBS SBPG 62847 (UK) - front scan by Hans Seegers (1970s release) |
Thanks to Hans Seegers for the information that this vinyl
album was reissued in 1975 with orange/yellow record labels (same catalogue
number). These later releases do not contain R-0656 - Rainy Day Women #12 &
35 is now the album length of 4:35 (the track time on the rear sleeve is
still 2:06!). "STEREO" is printed on both the front and rear sleeves. All songs on the Side 1 record label are credited to "Kinney Music Ltd." and on Side 2 tracks 1 and 3 are credited to "Kinney Music Ltd." while tracks 2, 5 and 6 are credited to "Big Ben Music Ltd." and only track 4 remains credited to "B. Feldman". There are no copyright dates and the track timings are included, showing track 5 on Side 2 as 4:35. |

 CBS SBPG 62847 (UK) - detail of rear, scan by Arie de Reus (promo copy from 1978 with fourth 1960s release sleeve) |
This 1970s edition of the album was released at least twice because there are two different label designs - the most obvious difference is that the artist name and album title are on either two lines or just one. Thanks to Patrick Helfrich for the alternate label scan. Thanks to Gerd Rundel for finding a very rare 1970s Irish release on eBay with the first 1970s label design. The record was made in Ireland, but it has the UK sleeve. Arie de Reus has an Irish copy with the same label design but it has "Made in Ireland" stamped over the English labels. Thanks to Hans Seegers and Arie de Reus for the label scans. |

Sixth release (1985)
|
CBS S 62847 (UK) - front scan by Hans Seegers (1985 release) |
The album was re-released in 1985 with the catalogue number on the orange/yellow record labels shortened to "BPG 62847". The front sleeve was the same as the 1970s releases and the sleeve was again printed by Shorewood Packaging Co. Ltd. It was first released with orange/yellow CBS labels and then with red CBS labels. There are three variants of the orange/yellow labels: the first (copies owned by Paul Shenton pictured in "Isis" magazine #151 and Manuel Garcia Jara) has "MADE IN ENGLAND" at bottom centre. As the 1970s releases, on the Side 1 record label all tracks are credited to "Kinney Music" and on Side 2 tracks 1 and 3 are credited to "Kinney Music Ltd." while tracks 2, 5 and 6 are credited to "Big Ben Music Ltd." and only track 4 remains credited to "B. Feldman". The track timings are included, showing track 5 on Side 2 as 4:35, although it's still listed as 2:06 on the rear sleeve. The songs all have a copyright date of "è 1966" below the catalogue number. |

The second orange/yellow label variant (Ian Woodward's copy) has "MADE IN ENGLAND" moved from bottom centre to the right label edge as part of the circumference text. |
|
|
|
|
 CBS S 62847 (UK) - front scan by Lars M. Banke (1985 release, variant 3) |
The third and probably last orange/yellow label variant has CBS copyright information at the bottom centre with "MADE IN ENGLAND" again as part of the circumference text. This time the Kinney Music tracks are credited to "Warner Brothers Music Ltd." as on the 1988 seventh release labels below. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The red labels have catalogue number "CBS S 62847" and an almost identical layout to the third orange/yellow variant with the CBS copyright information again at bottom centre on the first orange/yellow labels. Tracks 1-6 on Side 1 and tracks 1 and 3 on Side 2 are still credited to Kinney Music, which is either a mistake or an overlap with the last orange/yellow labels where Kinney has been replaced by Warner Bros. Lars M. Banke has a red label variant in the same sleeve but with the CBS copyright information in the circumference text and nothing at bottom centre. This again has the Kinney Music credits. |

Seventh release (1988)
 CBS 460907 1 (UK) - front scan by Hans Seegers (1988 release) |
The album was re-released in 1988, again with red CBS labels and a new
catalogue number - "460907 1" (the first six digits are the same as the
catalogue number used today for the UK remastered CD release). There are now
no "STEREO" indications on the front or rear sleeves. The rear
sleeve now has a barcode at top right. Hans' Seegers' copy has no
printer name on the rear sleeve but Lars M. Banke's copy has printer credits
to Shorewood Packaging Co. Ltd. at bottom right. On the Side 1 record label all tracks are credited to "Warner Bros. Music Ltd." and on Side 2 all tracks except track 4 are credited to "Warner Bros. Music Ltd.", while track 4 is still credited to "B. Feldman & Co. Ltd./EMI". There are no copyright dates and the track timings are included, showing track 5 on Side 2 as 4:35 (the track time on the rear sleeve is still 2:06!). |

"Greatest Hits" - stereo vinyl compilation LP, CBS S 62847 (Italy), 1967:
 CBS S 62847 (Italy) - front scan by Hans Seegers (both releases) |
|
This album was released twice, first in Mar 1967, and then
in mid 1967, with the same sleeve but with different record labels. The
sleeve was printed in Italy and has two folded-over flaps. The album is
described as "STEREO MONO" on the sleeve. The record has orange CBS labels.
The first release has "STEREO MONO" and "33" as the playing speed, the
second release has "STEREO" plus the arrows logo and "331/3"
as the playing speed. Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, track 5 on Side 2, is listed
as 2:06 on the sleeve as the UK albums, but the track is listed on the
record label as the album version at 4:35, so R-0656 (see above) is not
present. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. |

This LP is again a version of the UK release. The rear sleeve
this time has only two album
pictures. Bob Johnston's name is misspelled "Johnson". The record has orange CBS labels with "MADE IN ISRAEL" in English and Hebrew. Bob Johnston's name is again misspelled "Johnson" on Side 2. Thanks to Nol Grint for information and scans. |

"Greatest Hits" - stereo vinyl compilation LP, CBS SBPG 62847 (Kenya), 1968:
|
CBS SBPG 62847 (Kenya) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
This incredibly rare album from the former British colony
which became independent in 1963 uses the first version of the UK front
sleeve and the fourth version of the UK rear sleeve (see above). The record
was made in Kenya with orange CBS labels of the third UK label design with
"STEREO" and the arrows logo to the left of the centre hole, and songs
credited to "Blossom Music" and "B. Feldman". The playing speed is shown as
"33⅓" and publishing dates are shown as
"(P) 1966" for all songs. There are two mistakes on the labels - on Side 1 track 3 is called "The Time They Are A-Changin'" and on Side 2 Bob Johnston's name is misspelled as "Johnson". Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. |

"Greatest Hits" - stereo vinyl compilation LP, CBS S 62847 (NL), 1969:
 CBS S 62847 (NL) - front scan by Hans Seegers (all 1969 releases) |
This version of the album with the UK Greatest Hits
tracklist was made in Holland. The rear sleeve is different from the UK
releases and shows 12 Dylan albums, including the three Holland-only
Greatest Hits albums and ending with Nashville Skyline. There were three releases of the album in 1969,
the first has nothing to the left of the CBS logo at top right of the rear
sleeve, the second has a "B" in a circle, and the third has a "U" in a
circle. All the record labels were the same. The oddity is that Rainy Day
Women #12 & 35, track 5 on Side 2, is listed as 2:06 as the UK albums, but
the track is the album version at 4:29, so R-0656 (see above) is not
present! An album in the second of these 1969 sleeves but with orange/yellow
CBS labels that say "MADE IN SPAIN" is listed in the Spanish section below. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. |

"Greatest Hits" - stereo vinyl compilation LP, CBS 62847 (NL), 1976, re-released 1985:
 CBS 62847 (NL) - front scan by Hans Seegers (both releases) |
These releases have the same front sleeve as the 1969
release, the only difference being that the catalogue number is now just
"62847" omitting the "S". The rear sleeve has the same design, but the 12
album sleeves shown are different, ending with 1976's Desire. The big
change from the 1969 release is that the album now includes the 2:06 edit of
Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 (Hans Seegers says it actually plays at 1:55 with
the first two verses only)! The sleeve was printed in Holland by Shorewood
Packaging. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. |

I've included this album here for completion only because, although it
uses the UK front sleeve (without the track listing), it has the US
Greatest Hits tracklist! The rear sleeve is the same design as the
previous Dutch releases but omits the 12 album sleeves. This was the last
vinyl release with this sleeve in Holland. There was also a cassette release
of this album, CBS 463088 4. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. |

First release (1970)
 CBS S 62847 (Spain) - front scan by Hans Seegers (1970 & 1975 releases) |
This Spanish stereo LP is a release of the album with the 1967 UK Greatest Hits tracklist. Both the sleeves and records were made in Spain. The song titles are translated into Spanish on the front and back of the sleeve and on the labels. The 1970 rear sleeve shows ten albums by contemporary CBS artists. The record has orange CBS labels and was made for CBS by Fonogram S.A. of Madrid. The album title is translated on the labels as "GRANDES EXITOS". This album was a hit in Spain, reaching #6 in the album charts in Jul 1970. |

Second release (1973)
 CBS S 62847 (Spain) - front scan by Manuel Garcia Jara (1973 release) |
The 1973 release of CBS S 62847 is the rarest and has several significant differences from the 1970 release. The front sleeve is the same as the 1970 release but the rear sleeve is different in that the text about playing stereo records on mono equipment is no longer in a box. The printer information is now printed vertically downwards at bottom right, not vertically upwards as in 1970, and includes the 1973 date. The record still has plain orange labels but the title "GRANDES EXITOS" is missing. The record was now made for "Discos CBS S.A." instead of "Fonogram S.A.". | |||

The 1975 rear sleeve shows eight albums by contemporary CBS artists instead of ten. The record now has orange/yellow CBS labels and was again made for Discos CBS S.A. Madrid. The album title is again missing from the record labels. The rear sleeve is dated 1975, with the printer information again printed vertically downwards. The other release shown here dates from around 1975 and has a sleeve that is identical to the second Dutch 1969 release above, with a "B" in a circle next to the CBS logo and catalogue number on the rear sleeve at top right. The "LP 4" stamp shown is probably from a Spanish record store. The orange/yellow CBS record labels have "MADE IN SPAIN" but do not have the Spanish "SGAE" logo and were probably really made in Holland. The album title is missing from these record labels too. Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 on Side 2 is listed as the 2:06 edit but as the Dutch release is the full 4:29 album track.
Fourth release (1978 - twice)
 CBS S 62847 (Spain) - front scan by Gerd Rundel (both 1978 releases) |
There were two 1978 releases. both have identical fully laminated sleeves. The 1978 rear sleeve this time shows eight albums by Brazilian artist Roberto Carlos. The rear sleeve is dated 1978, with the printer information again printed vertically downwards. |

Both 1978 records again have orange/yellow CBS labels, but with a different label design. The record of the first release copy shown has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1- 62847 A+, Side 2 - 62847 B0. The album title is still missing from the record labels. The second 1978 release is very rare and very expensive to obtain. It has the same sleeve as the first 1978 release, but the labels differ in that the box round "SGAE" to the right of the centre hole is missing! The record of the second release copy shown has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1- 62847 A0, Side 2 - 62847 B0. On Side 2 Rainy Day Women #12 & 25 is listed as 2:06 but it is actually the full album version.

The 1981 sleeve has no front logo but the rear is the same as the 1978 sleeve apart from the 1981 date printed at bottom right, with the printer information again printed vertically downwards. The 1981 record again has orange/yellow CBS labels, this time with a design similar to the 1975 design. The album title is still missing from the record labels. |

The mid-1980s release again has no front logo and a completely different rear sleeve with no album pictures and no date. The labels are again orange/yellow, with a completely different text layout and song titles in Spanish only. The album title is missing once again from the record labels.
Seventh release (1988)
 CBS S 62847 (Spain) - front scan by Manuel Garcia Jara (1988 release, promo and commercial copies) |
The 1988 release has the same sleeve as the 1986 releases but the record has red CBS labels. The promo copy shown has a stamp on the rear sleeve. This stamp is common for Spanish 7" and 12" promotional singles, but extremely rare for LPs: it was made for exclusive use of CBS commercial agents. |

This unique stereo LP or cassette came with an issue of a part-work magazine series and
contains 12 tracks from the 1960s, all regular album versions - song titles are

#12 & 35, first released in Spain as CBS S 62847 in 1970 (see above). The album has no title on the front or rear sleeve or the record labels, but has the title Grandes Exitos [Greatest Hits] on the spine only. The cassette inlay card has the title BOB DYLAN only. The inside of the inlay card is blank apart from the text shown. The cassette is white with orange printed text, there are no paper labels.

These cassettes from the UK and Holland are re-releases of the twelve-track 1967 UK Greatest Hits album with has the same track listing as above, although She Belongs To Me on Side 1 and Just Like A Woman on Side 2 are reversed. These cassettes have three rarities including the unfaded version of One Of Us Mist Know and the unique edit of Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 (R-0656, 2:06). Details are therefore also listed in 1967 with the other rarity entries for this album. The surprise is that Like A Rolling Stone on Side 2 is the live version from the 1969 Isle of Wight Festival from Self Portrait, not the expected studio version from Highway 61 Revisited. There's no indication on the cassette insert. Hans Seegers informs me that this variant, obviously a CBS mistake, is known to collectors.
Manuel Garcia Jara has a copy of the first UK release from 1970, CBS 40-62847, which has a folded insert with one of Bob's Outlined Epitaphs from The Times They Are A Changin' on the inside. The cassette case is off-white, with orange paper CBS labels. Phil Beale has a later cassette copy of this album with a smaller insert but the same contents. Manuel has a copy that looks exactly the same as Phil's but Like A Rolling Stone and One Of Us Must Know are the regular stereo versions from Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde On Blonde. Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 is still the 2:06 edit.

The UK cassette was released in 1988 with Dolby noise reduction and a new catalogue number of CBS 460907 4, corresponding to the new LP seventh release of CBS 460907 1, see above. The outside of the cassette insert now has a barcode. Just Like A Woman is track 5 on Side 1 (instead of Side 2) and She Belongs To Me is track 5 on Side 2 (instead of Side 1). Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 is the full version (4:34), not the 2:06 edit (R-0656, see 1967).
Again the cassette is light grey plastic with black text printed directly on to it, there are no paper labels.
A Greatest Hits cassette was re-released in Holland around 1989 with the same front design but the US tracklist (see International Albums (Regular)!

layout than the usual style for this release where the song titles are
centred. Thanks to Don DiMuccio and Hans Seegers for information and pictures. |

CBS 62847 (Greece) - detail of rear, scan by
Hans Seegers (1975 release)
Hans Seegers reports the front sleeve is "a bad copy of the 'Leonardo Da Vinci' sleeve"! Roland Born's copy has the 1978 sleeve but still has the 1975 labels.
The rear sleeve shows two contemporary Dylan albums - The Basement Tapes and Desire. This was the same on the 1988 release - the cover was not changed. One of the producer credits on cover and Side 2 label is incorrectly shown as "Bob Johnson" instead of Bob Johnston.
The 1975 record has orange/yellow CBS labels with matrix numbers: Side 1- 62.847-A (written), Side 2 - 01-62847-1B-1 HP-GRIEKENLAND (stamped). "Griekenland" is Dutch for Greece, and shows the album was sourced from Holland. Hans Seegers has a second copy with identical labels and sleeve but without the "Griekenland" in the matrix numbers which was made in Greece. The 1978 record also has orange/yellow labels, this time with a new text layout.

on the new Side 2 label. To confuse matters, this album was released as Columbia 463088 1 in the 1990s with the US tracklist (see International Albums (Regular). The song titles are now missing from the front sleeve! Thanks to Ronald Born, Hans Seegers and Arie de Reus for information and scans. |

 Columbia 460907 9 (UK) - CD with original CBS LP label-style design |
Thanks to Gino Galvez for pointing out this remastered edition no longer contains R-0251, the version of Blowin' In The Wind with the first guitar note missing. I've confirmed this by comparing my copy of 460907 9 with the version on the remastered release of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. The CD release also no longer contains R-0656, here Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 is the full album version at 4:37. It still contains One Of Us Must Know (Sooner Or Later) - R-0537, the unfaded stereo version (thanks to Roger Ford for confirming that this CD is the only place this specific version can be found today). The front insert restores the tracklist.
There are four variants of this release. The 1997 release (my copy) has no catalogue number on the upper right of the rear insert, the gold/black sticker on the front of the clear jewel case, and bar-code "5 99746 09791". Keith Schweiger has two copies, also with no catalogue number at top right of the rear insert and the same bar-code. One has "Sony Music" at the bottom left of the rear insert, the other doesn't have "Sony Music" but has the catalogue number above the bar code on the right. Keith's first copy has the same front sticker as mine, the second copy has two front stickers, one with "Nice Price" and the other advertising the 30th Anniversary of the album, 1967-1997. The 1997 releases have an extended booklet with the Columbia "Nice Price" catalogue. The 2000 re-release has the catalogue number on the upper right of the rear insert (not shown), no front stickers, and bar-code "5 99746 308896". All the discs are the same except for different matrix numbers.
This album was also released with the same catalogue number in a Best Of The Best Gold edition in 1998, see below.
Thanks to Hans Seegers and Bill Hester for information and to Keith Schweiger for further information and scans.
