Audio: International Album Releases (Regular)

Another Side Of Bob Dylan (1964)
ç

This page is part 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. For releases of this album in CBS/Columbia multi-packs, see International Album Releases (Regular) - Multi-Packs.

Highway 61 Revisited (1965)
è

Original US stereo LP, Columbia CS 9128, 22 Mar 1965.

The famous front photograph was taken by Daniel Kramer. The woman in red is Sally Grossman, wife of Bob's then manager Albert. Rumours at the time were that it was Bob in drag!

For the mono release of this album, see Mono Album Releases. For an 8-track release with a shortened It's All Right Ma (I'm Only Bleeding), see 1974.

For information on differences between the various releases of this album, see Roger Ford's "Electric Dylan" web-site .

The first (the earlier) has a purple sticker advertising Subterranean Homesick Blues on the front cover and red Columbia labels with the "STEREO/360º SOUND" logos in black and matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-79423-1A, Side 2 - XSM-79424-1A. The purple sticker was also used on the stereo reel-to-reel tape release, see below. Scott from the USA has a second pressing copy without the purple sticker and with matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-79423-1B, Side 2 - XSM-79424-1B.

The second later release has no stereo/arrows logo on the cover and red Columbia labels with the "STEREO/360º SOUND" logos in white and matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-79423-1J, Side 2 - XSM-79424-1D. The copy signed by Bob is from Suze Rotolo's personal collection at auction at Christie's, New York, in Nov 2006, picture found by Jean-Pol Hiernaux.

The label has the first song title for the side under the album title above the centre hole.

The rear sleeve has the words "NL  PRINTED IN HOLLAND" vertically at the bottom right.

The label has "Produced by Tom Wilson" under the album title above the centre hole. All the song titles are below the centre hole.

The "STEREO" logo is now moved to the rear sleeve, and there is a "B" in the top right-hand corner, and at the bottom right-hand corner the previous information about the type of stereo pickup required is omitted - the vertical words "NL  PRINTED IN HOLLAND" remain.

The label goes back to the first design.
