The Times They Are A-Changin'

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. Because of the length of this page, The Times They Are A Changin' CD releases are now here. 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!

 Columbia CS 8905 (USA) - front photo by Henry V. Bell (original US stereo sleeve) |
Original US stereo LP, Columbia CS 8905, 10 Feb 1964, CD released Jan 1989. 10 Feb 1964 is the release date given by bobdylan.com, Brian Hinton's 2006 book "Bob Dylan Album File & Complete Discography" (Cassell Illustrated), dates it as 13 Jan 1964. A mono radio station copy has a date of "12-22" (22 Dec 1963), which supports the January date, see Mono Album Releases. The front photograph was taken by Barry Feinstein, not credited on every
international release. It's a
pastiche of a Woody Guthrie photo. Barry Feinstein sadly died on 20 Oct 2011,
for more pictures of Bob by Barry, see
The picture on the right is a composite of UK CBS and US Columbia album front sleeves - the UK album picture starts at the top of the picture with the CBS logo and ends just below the top visible unbuttoned button on Bob's shirt; the US mono album picture starts just above the text, cutting off more of the top of Bob's head and ends as shown showing the buttoned button. (The Columbia logo is below the "N" of "DYLAN", not above the text - see Mono Album Releases.) Out-takes from this album have been officially released as follows: Columbia acetates (surfaced 1980): Hero Blues (R-0390) - otherwise unreleased (early acetate copies of this album contained this track, see 1964) Biograph (1985): Lay Down Your Weary Tune; Percy's Song The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3 (1991): Eternal Circle; Suze (The Cough Song); Moonshiner; Paths Of Victory; Seven Curses; Only A Hobo; Who Killed Davey Moore? An alternate take of the title track (R-0515) was released on a bonus disc with the Limited Edition of "Love And Theft", see 2001. |

Columbia CS 8905 (USA) - front photo by Henry V. Bell (all releases) |
The mono and stereo rear sleeves of CS 8905/CL 2105 were different on the initial release, but subsequent US album releases from 1965 onwards used the same sleeve for both mono and stereo versions as long as mono continued. Augie Krater has a stereo copy in the mono sleeve with a stereo sticker at bottom left. The US stereo rear sleeve has no track times but has the poems by Bob, "11 Outlined Epitaphs", subsequently published in his "Writings And Drawings" book and "Lyrics 1962-1985". The rear sleeve showed the first three and a half poems, which were continued on an insert. |

 Columbia CS 8905 (USA) - photo found on eBay by Gerd Rundel (US release with "C.B.S." label stickers sold in Switzerland) |
Henry V. Bell has two copies of CS 8905: the first has red Columbia labels with the "STEREO/360º SOUND" logos in black and matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-75528-1G, Side 2 - XSM-75529-1G. The second has the "STEREO/360º SOUND" logos in white and matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-75528-1E, Side 2 - XSM-75529-1E. Gerd Rundel has a copy of the 1964 release with a red demo stamp on the rear sleeve. The record has red Columbia labels with the "STEREO/360º SOUND" logos in black (same as the scans by Henry V. Bell) and matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-75528-1D, Side 2 - XSM-75529-1C. Gerd Rundel also has a copy that belonged to rock critic Greil Marcus, author of "Invisible Republic: Bob Dylan's Basement Tapes", with the mono/stereo rear sleeve and mixed record labels - Side 1 has the 1964 label with the black "STEREO"/arrow logo while Side 2 has the 1965 label with the white "STEREO"/arrow logo. This copy is dated "1964" on the rear sleeve, which has a "6" at bottom right. The record has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-75528-1E, Side 2 - XSM-75529-1E. This implies the second release could actually date from late 1964 rather than 1965. Thanks also to Éamonn Ó Catháin and Bill Hester for information about this item, which was previously on eBay. Thanks to Gerd Rundel for finding a copy on eBay with white ring stickers with "C.B.S." round the outside of the labels. This was sold in Switzerland. |

Colin Baker has a UK-bought copy of the 1965 release with the white "STEREO" logo and "NONBREAKABLE" on the labels with "CBS" stickers covering the Columbia logos and the word "Columbia" in the text of the sleeve and a sticker with three "CBS" logos covering "Columbia" on the labels. This copy has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-75528-1K, Side 2 - XSM-75529-1G. See Bob Dylan, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, Nashville Skyline and Self Portrait for copies of Columbia US releases bought in various European countries with "CBS" stickers.
Hans Seegers has a copy released in 1967 of the version with the white Stereo logo without "NONBREAKABLE" to the left of the centre hole. That has matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-75528-1AB (stamped), Side 2 - XSM-75529-1AC (written). There are also copies of this album that are mispressed. Even though the labels are correct, it plays Side 2 on both sides! (Stamped matrix number XSM-75529-1K on both sides.) See The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan for more information about these 1960s label differences.

The US stereo album was reissued in the mid 1970s as Columbia KCS 8905 with red labels with yellow Columbia logos in a circle round the edge. This has stamped matrix numbers such as: Side 1 - XSM-75528 1AD, Side 2 - XSM-75529 1AF (Mark Steil's copy) and Side 1 - XSM-75528-1AH, Side 2 - XSM-75529-1AG (Hans Seeger's copy).

It was again released as Columbia PC 8905 in 1975 with the KCS 8905 sleeve and again with red labels with yellow Columbia logos in a circle round the edge (the photos are misleading as to the colour). PC 8905 was reissued in 1992 with plain red labels and Columbia in white, written matrix numbers: Side 1 - <P.AP> XSM-75528-G1D, Side 2 - <P.AP> XSM-75529-G2D. This release was again reissued in 2001 on 180gm vinyl with the same matrix numbers. Thanks to Hans Seegers and Tinti & Hermoso for information, photos and scans. Thanks to Paul Prince for notifying me of the "gold plated" copy of the 2001 Columbia PC 8905 180gm vinyl release sold on eBay. The record is gold plated on Side 1 only. Unfortunately Columbia US have not released any copies like this, although the sleeve is probably genuine. |

| This is a very rare item! 4-track was a short-lived continuous tape format, quickly superseded by 8-track. It has only two "programs" per tape instead of four as in 8-track (see below). The cartridge is in green plastic, contained inside a black slipcase. |
The running order is changed as follows, to make both programs of equal length. Only A Pawn In Their Game and When The Ship Comes In are omitted!
Program 1: The Times They Are A-Changin'; Boots Of Spanish Leather; The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll; Restless Farewell.
Program 2: Ballad Of Hollis Brown; With God On Our Side; One Too Many Mornings; North Country Blues.
Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. For 1968 US and UK 8-track releases, which include Only A Pawn In Their Game and When The Ship Comes In, see below.

The record of the 1960s album has the same Columbia labels as the first US stereo release with black "STEREO"/arrows logo. There are no printer details on the rear sleeve, but the record labels have "PRINTED IN CAN.". Gerd Rundel's copy shown has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-75528-1K, Side 2 - XSM-75529-1H.
The 1970s album has red Columbia labels with yellow Columbia logos in a circle round the edge, as in the US version of KCS 8905 above. Differences in the front and rear sleeves from the US version are shown. The sleeve was printed by Shorepak, Canada. The insert with the continuation of the "11 Outlined Epitaphs" is on a thin card of approximately A4 size instead of a 12" x 12" paper sheet as in the US version.
Thanks to Hans Seegers and Gerd Rundel for information and scans.

"The Times They Are A-Changin'" - stereo vinyl LP, CBS
SBPG 62251 (UK), May 1964, re-released 1965, 1975; CBS BPG 62251 (UK), 1979; CBS 32021
(UK), 1985:
For the mono release of this album, see Mono Album Releases.
 CBS SBPG 62251 (UK) - first release, front scan by Hans Seegers (mono sleeve) |
The test pressing shown of side 2 of the stereo album is single-sided and
is blank on the reverse side. It has matrix number "62251 B2" (omitting
the "SBPG"). The UK rear sleeve not only has no track times, but also short-changes the UK record-buying public by showing only "4 Outlined Epitaphs"! The rear sleeve showed poems 1, 2, 7 and 8, and there was no insert as with the US release. UK fans had to wait until the publication of the book "Writings And Drawings" in 1974 to get the full eleven. The first release of this stereo version of this album in 1964 used the UK mono sleeve with just a gold foil "Stereo" sticker on the back (some copies also have the UK mono sleeve without this sticker). The sleeve has three folded over flaps and the text "Record Sleeve Printed and Made by Dawson Rossiter Ltd." at the bottom of the rear sleeve. The record had orange CBS labels with "33" on the left of the centre hole and matrix numbers: Side 1 - SBPG 62251 A +1, Side 2 - SBPG 62251 B2. To the right of the centre hole is "SBPG 62551 A" and "è 1964". Mick Robinson has a copy printed by Dawson Rossiter with red stereo arrows on the back, but not on the front, which is in fact a later variant of the first sleeve. The record of this copy has matt orange labels with "33" on Side 2 (first release) and "33⅓" on Side 1 (second release). It appears this was produced when CBS were changing over from the first release to the second release! |

Mick Robinson has another copy of the first release which he believes was manufactured by Fontana/Philips on behalf of CBS. It has a laminated paste-over sleeve with the black Stereo/arrows logo on the front only. The label has "33" to the left of the centre hole and "SBPG-62251 1Y" plus "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1964" to the right of the centre hole. Matrix Numbers: Side 1 - SBPG 62251 1Y// 1:420, Side 2 - SBPG 62251 2Y// 1:420. Gerd Rundel has a copy with identical record matrix numbers.

Jordi Badell has a copy of CBS SBPG 62251 with stereo/arrows logo on sleeve and rear as per the second release below. The rear sleeve has three folded over flaps, and "SBPG 62251" and "CS 8905" to the left of CBS logo at the top right, the bottom left has the text "CBS is a trademark........." and bottom right "Warning: copyright subsists in all CBS recordings......." but there is no text "Dawson Rossiter Ltd" as above. The record has orange CBS labels with "33" to the left of the centre hole. On the right of the centre hole is "SBPG 62251 (CS 8905)" in two lines, below that "Blossom Music Ltd" in two lines and below that "SBPG 62251 A" "P 1964" also in two lines. The record is as the first release except for the upper SBPG, without a big "S" (has all letters in same size) and the matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM 75528-1L, Side 2 - XSM 75529-1G both stamped. All other UK stereo editions have "62251" in the matrix number, this record uses the US matrix number. Gerd Rundel has a copy of the exact variant described with the same sleeve, record labels and matrix numbers, illustrated below.

The second stereo release of the album, also in 1964, has the "STEREO"/arrows logo on the front and rear sleeves. The sleeve again has three folded over flaps. The record has orange CBS label with a different type face for the song titles and "33⅓" on the left of the centre hole and the copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - SBPG 62251 A4, Side 2 - SBPG 62251 B4. Henry V. Bell has a copy of this album with the first record but the second sleeve, so there was some overlap. |

The third stereo release of the album, in 1965, has no stereo indications on the sleeve. The CBS logo on the front is smaller. This sleeve was printed by Shorewood Packaging Co. The record labels are the same as for the second release, but in a much lighter orange. The record of the copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - SBPG 62251 A4, Side 2 - SBPG 62251 B5.

The fourth release of CBS SBPG 62251 is from 1975, and has orange/yellow CBS 1970s-style labels. The record of the copy shown has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - SBPG 62251 A4, Side 2 - SBPG 62251 B5 (as for the third release). The printer's name is absent from the rear sleeve, but apart from that the sleeve is identical to that of the third release so is not shown.

The fifth release from 1979 was surprisingly renumbered CBS BPG 62251 (the old mono catalogue number). It has orange/yellow CBS 1970s-style labels, but a lighter orange than the previous release. The record of the copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - 62251 (stamped), CBS S 32021 A6 (written); Side 2 - 62251 (stamped), CBS S 32021 B4 (handwritten). The back sleeve has "LC 0149" in a capsule at the bottom right. |

The sixth and final vinyl release was in 1985 and renumbered S CBS 32021. It has red
CBS 1980s-style labels and the copy shown has written matrix numbers Side 1 - CBS 32021-A4,
Side 2 - CBS 32021-B5. The Irish releases below imply that there could
have been an earlier UK release with this new catalogue number but with
orange/yellow CBS labels - confirmation required.

Dr. Walter Roedl has a copy of the 1970s cassette release that has a folded card insert which includes the poem "Epitaph" on the inside. The cassette is white with orange CBS paper labels. The 1982 cassette release uses the catalogue number of "32021" that was introduced in 1982 for LPs. It has a shorter card insert which does not now include the poem "Epitaph". The cassette is light grey with black text printed directly on to it, there are no paper labels.
The 1970s cassette's tracks have been reordered to make both sides similar lengths. The 1980s track order is unusual in that Side 1 of the cassette is Side 2 of the LP, and Side 2 of the cassette is Side 1 of the LP.

"The Times They Are A-Changin'" - stereo vinyl LP, CBS
SBP-233107 (Australia), 1965, re-released late 1960s and 1970s:
For the mono release of this album, see Mono Album Releases.
 CBS SBP-233107 (Australia) - front scan by Stuart Moore (1960s release) |
The very collectable 1960s release has a gatefold sleeve
with the "11 Outlined Epitaphs" Dylan poems inside and the record has orange
CBS labels. The first 1960s release has the Australian distributor Allan's
logo on the labels, on the second it is missing. (Allan's were music
publishers
in Australia for Bob Dylan records between 1965 and 1969, so this release is
after then.) The record of the first release has matrix number MX 143305 C on both sides while the second 1960s release has MX 143305 E on Side 1 and MX 143305 C on Side 2. |

All the record labels above have round the circumference at the bottom the text "MADE IN AUSTRALIA BY A REGISTERED USER OF THE TRADE MARKS" without a CBS copyright. This is because up to 1977 all Australian records were manufactured by the Australian Record Company (Pty) Ltd. (A.R.C.) on behalf of CBS. |

 CBS SBP-233107 (Australia) - front scan by Stuart Moore (late 1970s "Two For One" release) |
The album was released in the late 1970s as a "Two For One"
(CBS 241056) in a gatefold sleeve with Bob Dylan, this time the commercial record has orange/yellow 1970s-style
labels. The promo record has white CBS Records Australia promo labels. (A.R.C.
changed its name to CBS Records Australia Limited on 17 Oct 1977, and after
that date the longer bottom edge text includes the CBS copyright information.) Thanks to Stuart Moore and Peter Lindberg for information and scans. |

These releases again have the same imported US sleeve and insert, but the Columbia logos have not been covered with stickers. The labels have the three "CBS" logos as the Malaysian copy above. Both variants have the white stereo logo without the arrows. The first copy shown has the word "NONBREAKABLE" to the left of the centre hole and the song titles are left aligned. The second copy shown does not have the word "NONBREAKABLE" to the left of the centre hole and the song titles are centred and printed much lower.
The record of the first copy shown has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-75528 C-608, Side 2 - XSM-75529 C-609. The record of the second copy shown has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-75528, Side 2 - XSM-75529, the same as the Malaysia copy.
Thanks to Hans Seegers and Manuel Garcia Jara for information that the sleeves and records (without labels) were imported from the USA, but the CBS record labels were printed locally. CBS had a record pressing facility in Singapore from 1967, so records after that were sourced locally. Thanks to Gerd Rundel for further information and scans.
"Bob Dylan!/Vol. 4" - stereo vinyl LP, CBS YS-641-C (Japan), Jul 1966:
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 sleeve photos, inserts and booklets.
For the Japanese CBS Bob Dylan and Bob Dylan Vol. 2 albums, which were compilations, see International Album Releases (Other Dylan Compilations). For Bob Dylan Vol. 3, Vol. 5 and Vol. 6, which were also rebadged regular albums, see their respective album pages of International Albums (Regular). Vol. 3 was the first album Bob Dylan, Vol. 5 and Vol. 6 were the two halves of Blonde On Blonde.

 CBS S 62251 (NL) - detail of front of first 1967 release with yellow sticker, scan by Hans Seegers |
The 1967 album has four sleeve variants, all with the same insert and record. The record has orange CBS labels with written matrix numbers ST-62251 A and ST-62251 B. The insert continues the "11 Outlined Epitaphs". The first 1967 variant uses a mono sleeve with yellow stickers with the CBS "STEREO"/arrows logo front and back. The sleeve has folded over flaps on three sides. The mystery is that this sleeve was never actually issued for the Dutch mono record - the mono sleeve was open on three sides in a plastic sleeve (a design unique to Holland). |

The second 1967 release uses the same sleeve with three folded over flaps, but has printed "STEREO" logos on the front and back. Three details from the second sleeve are shown.
Gerd Rundel has a copy of the album with a third sleeve variant and with a variant label with different publishing text to the left of the centre hole. The standard label has "P" with "1967" underneath it as shown, the variant label has "è 1967" on one line. This release has a fully laminated sleeve with no folded over flaps. The only differences in the fourth release sleeve are that the sleeve has only two folded over flaps and the "NL" is missing from the bottom right of the rear sleeve.
Nicolas Louvet has a fifth 1960s variant sleeve with
printed "STEREO" logos on the front and back, no folded-over flaps, a "B" in
the top right hand corner of the rear sleeve, and "NL
PRINTED IN HOLLAND" at
bottom right. The record has the second 1960s labels variant as Gerd
Rundel's copy above.

The 1975 release of CBS S 62251 has the same front sleeve as
the second and third 1967 releases. Differences in the rear sleeve are shown
above and on either side. The record has orange/yellow CBS labels. Gerd
Rundel has a copy of the 1975 release with the same record labels but in an
alternate sleeve with "60" in a circle in the top right hand corner instead
of what looks like a capital "I". The 1985 release was renumbered CBS 32021. This sleeve was also used for the 1985 Greek release (see below). On front of the Dutch sleeve the CBS and "STEREO"/arrows logos are obscured. A rear sleeve difference from the Greek sleeve below is a tiny detail on the back - the number in the capsule is "CB 211" as opposed to "CB 231". The record has orange/yellow CBS labels.

 Columbia 18 10 0314 (USA) - end of cartridge, scan by Hans Seegers |
8-track was a comparatively short-lived continuous tape cartridge format, with four stereo "programs" per tape. For a 1967 US 4-track release, which omits Only A Pawn In Their Game and When The Ship Comes In, see above. The 1968 cartridge is in red plastic, contained inside a black slipcase. It was released twice, first with two separate rear and end labels, then with a wrap-around end/rear label. The Columbia House release (sealed) had a blue slipcase and a black cartridge. The mid-1970s Columbia release had a black cartridge and used the same black slipcase as the 1968 releases. Rearranging the track order to make all four programs of roughly equivalent length defeated the tape compiler, so two tracks are split over two programs, even though the songs are reordered: | ||||
|
|
|||||
Program 1: The Times They Are A-Changin'; Ballad Of Hollis Brown; North Country Blues (Part 1).
Program 2: North Country Blues (Conclusion); With God On Our Side; One Too Many Mornings.
Program 3: Boots Of Spanish Leather; When The Ship Comes In; The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll (Part 1).
Program 4: The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll (Conclusion); Only A Pawn In Their Game; Restless Farewell.
The UK CBS release is a version of Columbia 18 10 0314, released around the same time. It does not have a slipcase.

CBS/Sony SONP 50249 in 1970 was the second Japanese release of this album - the first, released by CBS in Jul 1966 before Sony took over the record company, was retitled Bob Dylan/Vol. 4 (see above). It was the first CBS/Sony Japanese release by Bob Dylan. The front sleeve of this release is the same as the regular US sleeve, with the exception of the CBS/Sony logo and the "SX68 SOUND" logo. The 6-page folded booklet has a unique picture. The record shown has yellow CBS/Sony promo labels (which means that it dates from early 1970 at the latest). There was no obi. CBS/Sony SOPL 222 in 1974 was the third Japanese release - it had an 8-page booklet
and a top obi. The record of the promo release had white/black CBS/Sony
labels, the commercial release had orange/cream CBS/Sony labels. |

The title of the album is correct on the record labels of the 1972 COFASA release, but incorrectly printed as "The Times They Are A-Changin!" on the CBS release, both the album title above the centre hole and the song title below are incorrect. Otherwise, the COFASA and CBS sleeves appear identical, printed by Offset ALG of Madrid for CBS.

This release was the first for this album in Portugal - it was banned during the Salazar regime. It has the same front sleeve with the "STEREO"/arrows logo as the 1975 Dutch release, but omits the "S" from the catalogue number. Note the vertical printing of the album details on the rear sleeve next to the spine. The record has orange/yellow CBS labels.
Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans.

These records were legal in Taiwan at the time of release, but were
produced without authorisation from Columbia. They had very flimsy sleeves,
which had to be protected inside plastic to survive. There are several front
sleeve variations. For more information, see Questionable Releases. Information, scans and photos from Hans Seegers and Ulf Gyllenspetz. |

This album was released as part of a series called "STAR
SPECTACULAR - ORIGINAL ARTISTS". Unlike the 1960s mono release of this album
in South Africa, it has the regular tracklisting including With God On Our
Side. For that "censored" release, see Mono Album Releases. The rear
sleeve repeats the front sleeve, and does
not have any of the poems. The record has orange/yellow CBS labels. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. |
