Bob Dylan - CD releases
|
This page is part of a list 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 no longer in the former yearly Promo sections. For LP and tape releases of Bob Dylan, click Up. This page is still incomplete - more entries required. For releases of this album in CBS/Columbia multi-packs, see International Album Releases (Regular) - Multi-Packs. |
|
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 -
see the Mission page for reasons why. Contact the
dealers on my Trading page for assistance!

 US stereo LP sleeve |
Original US stereo LP, Columbia CS 8579, 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)! The first track, "You're No Good" by Jesse Fuller, is mistitled as "She's No Good" on many releases. There is some debate about this since Jesse Fuller's own version is actually called "Crazy About A Woman"! (For more information, see here.) For mono releases of this album, see Mono Album Releases. |

"Bob Dylan" -
CD releases, CBS 462835
2 (Australia), 1980s, 1988; Columbia 462835
2 (Australia), 1991:
These CD releases were also exported to New Zealand.
 CBS 462835 2 (Australia) - front insert scan by Hans Seegers (all releases except "Select" and "Select the Best for Less" series) |
These releases all had a single card front insert. The CBS "Select"
release is from the mid-1980s. The CDs for all the CBS releases were made by Disctronics Limited.
The 1988 "Select the Best for Less Series" release has unique front and rear
inserts, presumably generic for the CBS CD series. The album was re-released in 1991 with the Columbia logo on the disc itself, but still used the CBS logo on the jewel case inserts. "Bob Dylan" and the tracklisting are shown on the front. You're No Good by Jesse Fuller is correctly titled on the CD inserts and the CDs themselves. |

Stuart Moore has three Columbia CD releases, the first CD from 1991 has the four lines of text above the catalogue number as: line 1 - "MANUFACTURED", line 2 - "IN AUSTRALIA BY SONY", line 3 - "MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT", line 4 - "(AUSTRALIA) LIMITED". The later 1990s release CD has the text as: line 1 - "MANUFACTURED IN", line 2 - "AUSTRALIA BY SONY MUSIC", line 3 - "ENTERTAINMENT", line 4 - "(AUSTRALIA) LIMITED". The final CD release has this text spread over three lines only.
Thanks to Hans Seegers, Jack from Canada, Gerd Rundel and Stuart Moore for information and scans.
"Bob Dylan" - CD release, Columbia CK 8579 (USA/Canada), 1989, re-released 1990s:
 Columbia CK 8579 (USA) - long box front scan by Hans Seegers |
The first CD release of this album came in the long box format
unique to the USA. The picture on the box front and the CD front insert is
not a crop of the original album cover but an out-take from the 1962 photo
session. On this out-take picture Bob's head is tilted slightly further
forward and his hand is slightly further down the guitar, with his top
right hand finger
further away from the fret. The box front has a "NICE PRICE" sticker.
The front insert picture has "Bob Dylan" in the top left
hand corner instead of to Bob's right and doesn't display the track listing. You're No Good by Jesse Fuller was correctly titled on the box rear and on the front and rear inserts of the CD jewel case, but incorrectly titled as "She's No Good" on the CD itself. Moise Potié's copy bought in Canada has a slightly different CD, differences shown below. Wil Gielen has a copy of the US release imported into Japan with an obi from the Shinseido record store chain. Thanks to Hans Seegers and Moise Potié for information and scans. Thanks to Jack from Canada for
noticing the photo differences. |

The 1988 release has a yellow, black, red, white and yellowish-green obi with price ¥2,500 (the "25 in the catalogue number meant that the price was ¥2,500).

Both have a 28 page booklet. "Bob Dylan" and the tracklisting are shown on the front.

All the Dylan albums in this reissue batch have consecutive serial numbers, this is the first. It has a 4 page folded insert in English, of which the rear is shown (the front is the same as 25DP 5281). There is also an insert in English and Japanese which folds out to six pages. The 1997 release in the "Nice Price 1600" series has a red obi with price ¥1,600 (¥1,553 before tax) and release "97-2-1" (1 Feb 1997). The withdrawal date is "99-1-31" (31 Jan 1999).

"Bob Dylan" - CD release, Columbia COL CD 32001 (Europe), 1991, re-released 1990s:
 Columbia COL CD 32001 (Europe) - front with sticker, scan by Keith Schweiger ("Nice Price" release) |
This release, which was manufactured in Austria for distribution
throughout Europe, came with an 8-page booklet. You're No Good by Jesse
Fuller was incorrectly titled as "She's No Good" on both CD inserts and the
CD itself. Like the US CD above "Bob Dylan" is on the left of
Bob's head in the front picture and the track listing is omitted. Thanks to Harald Sigvartsen for pointing out two more title errors: Fixin' To Die and Highway 51 are listed as "Fixin' To Die Blues" and "Highway 51 Blues" on both inserts and the CD itself. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. Thanks to Keith Schweiger for scans of a later release with a "Nice Price" sticker and a "Nice Price" catalogue in the front insert booklet. |

This release, on the amusingly named Landy Star Music label, is almost
certainly unauthorised, so full details are in

Although previous Bob Dylan releases from Taiwan are pirates, this CD was the first official release from the Taiwanese Sony pressing plant. It was also exported to mainland China. Hans Seegers' copy is still sealed, and has a Chinese language obi. You're No Good by Jesse Fuller is incorrectly titled as "She's No Good" on the rear CD insert. Keith Schweiger's copy is also sealed, and has a different "Nice Price" sticker. The rear inserts have different Columbia logos, I suspect that Keith's is an earlier release.
Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans.
"Bob Dylan" - remastered CD-R promo release, Sony BMG (no catalogue number) (Austria for Europe), Jun 2005:
 Plain paper front insert |
Legacy Recordings have been using the slogan "Not
Just Reissued... Reimagined" for some time, but this album and The Times
They Are A-Changin', released at the same time, are described as
"reasserted" - whatever that means! The sound is certainly very
good indeed and removes the "false stereo" image of the original stereo
albums and CD releases. This promo CD-R release comes in a clear plastic wallet with a plain paper insert showing the album title and track list only, plus the Sony BMG logo. You're No Good by Jesse Fuller is correctly titled. The CD-R is plain with only the album title and number of tracks. Thanks to the staff at Badlands, Cheltenham, UK, for these promos. |
 CD-R itself with minimal text |
"Bob Dylan" - remastered CD release, Columbia CK 94239 (USA)/Columbia 519891 2 (Austria for Europe), 21 Jun 2005:
 Columbia CK 94239 (USA) - front scan by Hans Seegers (sealed copy) |
This release is a stereo CD only, not a hybrid SA-CD. The packaging restores the original artwork with "Bob Dylan" and the tracklisting between Bob and his guitar. There are three previously unpublished contemporary photos on the back page of the front insert booklet and the rear insert. |

 Columbia CK 94239 (USA) - front sticker scan by Hans Seegers |
The 8-page stapled booklet reproduces the original sleeve notes and features four more pictures. The CD reproduces the original "6-eye" 1962 US Columbia label design. Thanks to John Parris for pointing out the record sounds as if it's in mono, since the absurd channel separation of the original stereo mix has been removed. In fact, I understand it's in "natural" stereo, so as the voice, guitar and harmonica are from one vertical point in space, the horizontal separation is almost unnoticeable.
Thanks to Hans Seegers for the US release scans.

The equivalent 2005 remastered Japanese release comes in a card sleeve reproducing the LP sleeve with a top orange obi. The obi has date "05-9-21" along with the date of original release "62-3-19". The price is ¥1.890. There is a folded insert containing Japanese language sleeve notes plus lyrics in English and Japanese. The CD itself is in a clear polythene sleeve inside a generic inner sleeve shown below.
The front sticker, different from the ones on the 2004 Japanese releases in card sleeves, advertises the free six-track CD Bob Dylan Live At Carnegie Hall 1963 (see 2005). In Japan this can only be obtained in exchange for five vouchers, one from each of the following newly-released albums (the purple voucher is shown below):
Thanks to Michio Kinoshita for information about these albums.

"Bob Dylan" - Blu-spec CD release, Sony Music SICP 20213 (Japan), 26 Aug 2009:
 Sony Music SICP 20213 (Japan) - front of sealed copy, scan by Wil Gielen |
This release is on a Blu-spec CD, an audio-only disc which is
presumably intended to be Sony's new high quality audio format. The copy
shown is still sealed, with a blue and white obi with price ¥2,500 (¥2,381
before tax). The release date is shown as "09-8-26" (26 Aug 2009), the
original release date as "62-3-19" (19 Mar 1962) and the withdrawal date as
"10-2-25" (25 Feb 2010). It's not actually a Blu-ray disc as it says on the sticker, but it is made using Blu-ray
technology. Thanks to Wil Gielen for information and scans. |
