Audio: International Album Releases (Regular)

Bob Dylan


Although it doesn't look like it, this 1966 Japanese release is actually the regular 1962 Bob Dylan album, albeit with the tracks reordered

This is the first page of a new section of original releases by release date of international commercially-released regular stereo Dylan albums. They do not contain rarities or obscurities and are not eligible for the Searching For A Gem list. 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 releases of regular albums are now listed here and not in the yearly Promo sections.

This page is still incomplete - more entries required. Because of the length of this page, Bob Dylan CD releases are now here. For a 1980s cassette release of this album in a CBS multi-pack, see International Album Releases (Regular) - Multi-Packs.

US LP sleeve
Original US stereo LP, Columbia CS 8579, 19 Mar 1962.

The photographer was Don Hunstein, a Columbia staff photographer. Viewers will note that the photograph has been reversed for some reason (probably so that the neck of the guitar didn't obscure the Columbia logo)!

For mono releases of this album, see Mono Album Releases.

Out-takes from this album have been officially released as follows:

The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3 (1991): He Was A Friend Of Mine; Man On The Street

Also:

Highway 61 Interactive Columbia/Graphix Zone CD-ROM (1995, now out-of-print): House Of The Rising Sun (traditional) - electric version, 1964 overdub by Tom Wilson with Bob not present (R-0241, see 1995)


Vinyl and Tape Releases


"Bob Dylan" - stereo vinyl album, Columbia CS 8579 (USA), May 1962/Columbia CS 8579 (reissue) (USA), 1965/Columbia KCS 8579 (USA), 1975/Columbia PC 8579 (USA), 1990s/Columbia PC 8579 (reissue on 180gm vinyl) (USA), 2001:

The first release of this album came with the red/black "six-eye" CBS "STEREO FIDELITY" labels and is very rare, as stereo was in its infancy and few copies were manufactured. (Most copies of the first release of Bob Dylan were in mono, Columbia CL 1779, see Mono Album Releases.) The front cover has a red stereo/arrows logo. There is a "B" in the bottom right hand corner of the rear sleeve next to the track timings panel. You're No Good by Jesse Fuller was correctly titled on both the sleeve and the record label. Matrix numbers: "XSM-55621/22-1D/1D". There were no white label promo releases of this album, the only promos are as shown with a red demo stamp on the rear sleeve and stickers on the labels. Thanks to John Napa for pictures of a demonstration copy of this first release with matrix numbers XSM-55622-1E/55622-1F. This copy has a red stamp on the back cover and the silver star on the front just like the one from eil.com shown, found by Jean-Pol Hiernaux. The label has no songs listed above the centre hole. Sergio Magnacca has an even earlier copy with labels of this design with matrix numbers XSM-55621-1B/55621-1A. Deepak Sharma has a copy without a silver star with matrix numbers XSM-55621-1A/55621-B1. It has "63" and "3" at the bottom of the rear sleeve. Hans Seegers' copy has a slightly different six-eye label design in that one song is listed above the centre hole. Cosimino Pecere has a copy of the first release with matrix numbers "XSM-55621/22-1C/1D" with yet another six-eye label design in that two songs are listed above the centre hole. This means there are three different six-eye label styles for the first release!

The second release in 1965 has the identical front cover but the text next to the Columbia logo is in a slightly different typeface. The "B" in the bottom right hand corner of the rear sleeve is missing. The record has red Columbia "360º SOUND" labels. You're No Good by Jesse Fuller was incorrectly titled as "She's No Good" on the Side 1 label. Matrix numbers: "XSM-55621/22-1H/1AB". This release was also sold in the UK, with the "Columbia" logos pasted over with "CBS" (see below).

Thanks to Paul Landon for scans of a variant of this second release with the words "Produced by John Hammond" on the rear sleeve next to the Dylan picture. The "360º SOUND" logo on the labels is in black, not white, and omits the left and right arrows. It also has the word "UNBREAKABLE" under the "CS 8579" catalogue number. You're No Good by Jesse Fuller was incorrectly titled as "She's No Good" on the Side 1 label. Matrix numbers: "XSM-55621-1A"/"XSM-55622-1B".

Arie de Reus has a second release copy of CS 8579 which has had the "Columbia" logos pasted over with "CBS" logos to sell in the UK. As can be seen, this has been done systematically -  once on the front of the LP sleeve and twice on the back The LP labels, which have white "STEREO"/arrows logos, have a half-ring pasted at the top with three CBS logos, and a white sticker at bottom left. Norman Healy has a copy which also looks like the second American stereo release (the sleeve says 'Produced by John Hammond" etc). However, the disc has "You're No Good" not "She's No Good" on the label. It has three (rather than two) CBS white logos on the disc label (one on each side and one at the top) which have NOT been pasted on, ("Columbia" is nowhere in evidence, but the two white '"360 sound"' logos are there). It looks like the Singapore mono release (see Mono Album Releases), except it is in stereo. The sleeve has an English-language ink stamp on it showing that it came from Kwong Hing Lee's shop in Sarawak (Sarawak was still a British colony at the time of the record's release but is now part of Malaysia). Thanks for Tim Dunn for a copy from eBay with alternate stickers.

Patrick Helfrich has a copy of the second release with the same sleeve as before but with an "S" on the rear below the Columbia logo. The record labels still have CS 8579 as the catalogue number, but they are in the 1970s US design with the Columbia logo round the circumference.

Columbia PC 8579 (USA) - Side 1 scan by Hans Seegers (third release with 1970s style labels

The third release in 1975 had a new catalogue number, Columbia KCS 8579, and on the front cover the stereo logo was blacked out. The rear cover (shown above) omitted the track timing strip, and there was a "B" in the bottom right hand corner. The record has red labels with Columbia in yellow round the edge, strangely with catalogue number "PC 8579" as on the fourth release. You're No Good by Jesse Fuller was incorrectly titled as "She's No Good" on the Side 1 label. Matrix numbers: "XSM-55621/22-1AC/AD A/C".  Ryan McDermott has a copy of what sounds like the third release with PC 8579 as the catalogue number on the sleeve but JC 8579 on the record labels, which are in the 1970s style.
Columbia PC 8579 (USA) - Side 2 scan by Hans Seegers (third release with 1970s style labels

The fourth release in the 1990s had the catalogue number, Columbia PC 8579, on both the sleeve and the labels. The front cover was the same as the third release with the stereo logo blacked out. The rear cover was the same as the third release but without the "B" in the bottom right hand corner. The record has plain red Columbia labels. You're No Good by Jesse Fuller was incorrectly titled as "She's No Good" on the Side 1 label. Matrix numbers: "XSM-55621/2-4-A/B RANDY M.". David Plentus has a copy of the album with the fourth release sleeve and the third release labels with "Columbia" in the yellow ring. There was obviously a period of overlap between releases.

CBS SBPG 62022 (UK) - 1962 release, detail of rear, scan by Per Erik Dahlberg ("CBS IS A TRADEMARK OF COLUMBIA BROADCASTING SYSTEM INC." instead of "Printed by Garrod & Lofthouse"


Note the tops of Bob's cap and his guitar are missing in the front cover picture of the UK releases, also the picture of Bob from the back! This album was released on vinyl in 1962, 1965, 1968-69, 1975, 1982 and 1985.

The copy shown of the very rare earliest release of Bob Dylan's first CBS stereo LP manufactured in the UK was found in Sweden by Per Erik Dahlberg and is believed to have been exported to Sweden in limited numbers. It may not actually have been sold in the UK, although if anyone in the UK has a copy I'd like to hear from you. This release uses early 1960s-style CBS cover and label designs that can be found on other UK albums of the time such as Duke Ellington's Piano In The Background, released in 1960. The text "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED (date)" on the labels was not generally used by CBS in the UK after 1962 (later records have "è (date)".

Note the interesting differences on the cover and record labels between this and the copy of the first generally available UK commercial stereo release from 1965 supplied by Henry V. Bell, which I previously displayed as the first release. (See Mono Album Releases for mono copies of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan and The Times They Are A-Changin' manufactured by Philips/Fontana for CBS which still have the "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED (date)" text.) Per Erik Dahlberg's copy too was probably manufactured for CBS by Philips/Fontana.

Cover front: has the same stereo/arrows logo in the left hand top corner, but has "SBPG 62022" under the logo with small, thick letters in the same size as the numbers (this is absent on the UK 1965 release). The text "MONAURAL CL-1779" (the US mono catalogue number also on the first US stereo releases above) has been obscured immediately above the CBS logo.

Cover back: has the stereo/arrows logo in the left hand top corner. "SBPG 62022" is situated  top left of CBS logo on right with thick letters and numbers and (CS 8579) in smaller text exactly under the numbers. Bottom right is clean under "...straight up" and bottom left has "CBS IS A TRADEMARK OF COLUMBIA BROADCASTING SYSTEM INC." only. It has the threefold flaps. The spine has both numbers: SBPG 62022 on lower half and CS 8579 near logo on upper half. The latter can be seen on the front scan.

Textured label, Side 1: "BOB DYLAN" is offset to the left of logo and the speed is given as just "33". On the top right of the logo is "SBPG62022" in large thick signs, written together without a space between the letters and the numbers. Below is (CS 8579) in thinner letters  .Below the copyright information is "SBPG-62022 1Y". (The "Y" after the number on label below "Leeds Music" stands for stereo on old CBS labels and in the matrix numbers. The corresponding mono issues had an "L" instead.) Henry V. Bell's copy has an "A" here. This label also correctly lists the first song title as "You're No Good" - this was changed to the incorrect title of "She's No Good" on Henry V. Bell's copy and all subsequent releases in the same way as the US releases. This dates Henry V. Bell's copy as 1965 at the earliest, and it must have been sold simultaneously with the US pasted-over copies (see above).

Matrix numbers (stamped): Side 1 - "SBPG 62022  1YX2 //420", Side 2 - "SBPG s 62022 s 2Y s 2//420" (If the three small signs splitting up the elements of the Side 2 matrix number don't show correctly on your screen they're actually triangles - AF).

The cover was printed by Garrod & Lofthouse, although they're uncredited.

Thanks to Per Erik Dahlberg ("Monoman") from Sweden for information and scans of the 1962 release.

CBS SBPG 62022 (UK), 1968-69 release - Side 2 scan by Hans Seegers


CBS SBPG 62022 (UK), 1968-69 release - alternate Side 2 scan by Mick Robinson

As can be seen, the 1962 and 1965 UK sourced releases of SBPG 62022 had the "STEREO" with arrows logo boldly on both front and back. This isn't placed in exactly the same position on the two copies shown, and may have been overprinted. It was missing from the 1968-69 reissue, when CBS started to use the same covers for both stereo and mono albums (which were tailing off). The 1968-69 album has a panel at the bottom of the rear cover stating that stereo albums can be played on mono record players. The pasted-over US release dates from 1965, see above, and must have been imported to meet demand.


CBS BPG 62022 (UK), 1968-69 release - rear scan by Hans Seegers

There are also label differences - for example, on the 1962 and 1965 releases "BOB DYLAN" is offset to the left, and the record speed is given as just "33" instead of "331/3" on the 1968-69 orange labels. The matrix numbers of Henry V. Bell's copy are SBPG 62022A/B.

Mick Robinson's copy of the 1968-69 release has different publishing credits on the Side 2 label - "1&5 Duchess, 2&6 Cop Con, 3&4 Trad". Hans Seeger's copy has "1&5 Duchess, 2 Cop Con, 3&4 Trad, 6 Leeds Music Ltd." - this was a later version, changed because of a copyright settlement for See That My Grave Is Kept Clean by Blind Lemon Jefferson.

Simply Vinyl SVLP 85 (UK), 1999 - rear scan by Hans Seegers


CBS 32001 (UK), 1982 release - Side 2 scan by Hans Seegers

The 1975 release had the same front as the 1968-69 release with the addition of the "62022" catalogue number. Strangely the labels have the 1962 mono catalogue number "BPG 62022"!

The 1982 release had a new catalogue number - "32001". The rear sleeve is the same as the 1975 release but with the new catalogue number below the CBS logo. The same applies to the front cover (not shown). The album was reissued with this catalogue number in 1985 with new design red CBS labels.

The 1999 UK Simply Vinyl reissue, released under licence from Columbia, is on 180gm "Virgin Vinyl". The copy shown is still sealed, so label scans aren't available. There are silver Simply Vinyl stickers on both the back and front of the clear plastic sleeve.

You're No Good by Jesse Fuller was incorrectly titled as "She's No Good" on the record labels of all the releases shown except the copy from Per Erik Dahlberg!

Thanks to Hans Seegers and Henry V. Bell for information and scans.


"Bob Dylan" - stereo vinyl album, Columbia CS 8579 (Canada), 1965, reissued 1967/Columbia KCS 8579 (Canada), 1975:


Columbia CS 8579 (Canada) - front of 1965 and 1967 releases, scan by Hans Seegers
The first stereo releases of this album in Canada have a unique black stamp on the front cover with the text "PLAYABLE ON MONO EQUIPMENT. FOR BEST RESULTS USE STEREO NEEDLE". It has red Columbia labels with the black "360º SOUND/STEREO" logo like the 1965 US release shown above. You're No Good by Jesse Fuller was incorrectly titled as "She's No Good" on Side 1 but it's correct on the rear sleeve.

There are only two minor differences between the 1967 release and the 1965 release (the front cover is the same):

  1. In the top right hand corner of the rear sleeve the mono catalogue number is missing from the left of the Columbia logo.
  2. The labels have white "360º SOUND/STEREO" logos instead of black. There are copies in existence with the white logo on Side 1 and the black logo on Side 2!

The 1975 album has the same cover as the first US stereo album, with the red "STEREO" logo.

The record has red Columbia labels with Columbia in yellow round the edge with text "MANUFACTURED BY CBS RECORDS CANADA LTD". You're No Good by Jesse Fuller was again incorrectly titled as "She's No Good" on Side 1.

Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans, and Steve Bonilla for information and photos.

"Bob Dylan" - stereo vinyl album, CBS SBP-233206 (Australia), 1965 reissued late 1960s:


CBS SBP-233206 (Australia) - front scan by Hans Seegers
The front cover of the 1965 release has the cropped top of the UK release, with a silver "STEREO"/arrows logo at the centre top (in Bob's hat). The late 1960s release has the text "STEREO CAN ALSO BE PLAYED ON MONO EQUIPMENT" immediately to the right of the CBS logo.

The 1965 record has orange CBS labels with the Leeds Music logo. You're No Good by Jesse Fuller was correctly titled on both the sleeve and the record label. The late 1960s labels are missing the Leeds Music logo.

"Bob Dylan Vol. 3" - stereo vinyl album, CBS YS-611-C (Japan), May 1966:
For the Japanese CBS Bob Dylan and Bob Dylan Vol. 2 albums, which were compilations, see the International Album Releases (Other Dylan Compilations) page. All Japanese Dylan releases before 1968, when Sony took over Columbia/CBS, were in stereo. All these Japanese CBS releases are very collectable and come with unique inserts and booklets. For Bob Dylan Vol. 4, Vol. 5 and Vol. 6, which were also rebadged regular albums, see their respective pages (Vol. 4 was The Times They Are A-Changin', Vol. 5 and Vol. 6 were the two halves of Blonde On Blonde).

CBS YS-611-C (Japan) - front with obi, scan by Hans Seegers
This release with an exclusive anachronistic cover, is the regular 1962 Bob Dylan album with the tracks reordered! To find it with its original obi is very difficult, so the copy illustrated is extremely rare.

Side 1: House Of The Risin' Sun; Freight Train Blues; Song To Woody; See That My Grave Is Kept Clean; Gospel Plow; Baby, Let Me Follow You Down

Side 2: She's No Good [You're No Good]; Talkin' New York; In My Time Of Dyin'; Man Of Constant Sorrow; Fixin' To Die; Pretty Peggy-O; Highway 51

All are the regular album versions. You're No Good by Jesse Fuller (here the first track on Side 2, but normally the first track on Side 1), was incorrectly titled as "She's No Good" as before.

Thanks to Hans Seegers for scans and information. For more details of the Taiwanese release of this album, see Questionable Releases.

CBS 62022 (Italy) - detail of front, scan by Hans Seegers
For the mono release of this album, see Mono Album Releases.

The only difference on the front cover is that it omits the catalogue number and the mono indication in the top left hand corner (details shown). The rear cover is different, with a gold foil "Stereo" sticker. The orange CBS labels are also slightly different compared to the mono labels. You're No Good by Jesse Fuller is correctly titled on the Side 1 label.

CBS/Sony 25AP 268 (Japan) - front scan by Hans Seegers

After the 1966 release above, these three releases are the regular 1962 Bob Dylan album! The three front covers are identical apart from the catalogue numbers. Even more of the tops of Bob's cap and guitar are missing!

The second release (SOPL 220) has a top obi and the third release (25AP 268) has a more common side obi. 25AP 268 was released in 1976 with a red white and black obi. and again in 1977 with a light-brown, black and white side obi of a different design. Both have the price ¥2,500. You're No Good by Jesse Fuller was incorrectly titled as "She's No Good" on all releases.

All releases have orange/cream CBS/Sony labels except the promo release of SOPL 220, which has black/white labels.
