Highway 61 Revisited

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. This page is incomplete - more international stereo releases of this album required. Because of the length of this page, Highway 61 Revisited CD releases are now here. 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!

Original US stereo LP, Columbia CS 9189, 30 Aug 1965. For the mono release
of this album, see Mono Album Releases.

This title is one of the fifteen Dylan albums released in Sep 2003 as a hybrid CD/SA-CD. This is playable both in stereo on an ordinary CD player and in enhanced stereo on an SA-CD player or a DVD player that also plays SA-CDs (Sony's higher range models all do this). Some titles were released in 5.1 surround sound, but not this one.
Like A Rolling Stone was produced by Tom Wilson before the rest of the Highway 61 Revisited sessions, which were produced by Bob Johnston. In his book "Like A Rolling Stone: Bob Dylan At The Crossroads" Greil Marcus also writes that pre-release copies of the album omitted Tom Wilson's name as producer of the song, but Bob Johnston ordered them to be withdrawn and Tom Wilson credited. Are copies of the album without the Tom Wilson credit in circulation?
The original American liner notes on the rear sleeve are the ones printed in "Writings and Drawings" (1974) and "Lyrics 1962-85" (1987). The only exception I can see is that "meaningful" at the end of the next-to-last paragraph is replaced by "meaningless" in the book versions (see illustration below). Thanks to Hans Seegers for information that rear sleeves with "meaningful" occur only in two stereo US releases: CS 9189 (1965), KCS 9189 (1975). Since the 1977 release of KCS 9189, all releases have had "meaningless".
Out-takes from this album have been officially released as follows:
Highway 61 Revisited (1965): original US and Canadian stereo pressings of the album, also all Japanese stereo LP pressings on CBS/Sony from 1968, contained an alternate take of From A Buick Six with harmonica intro (R-0046, see 1965)
Thanks to Hanns Peter Bushoff for bringing to my attention what seems like an error by Greil Marcus in his book "Like A Rolling Stone: Bob Dylan At The Crossroads". On page 240 Greil writes: "Phantom Engineer. This frantic early version of the Highway 61 Revisited number "It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry" (one take was mistakenly included on some copies of the album) can be found on Dimestore Medicine (Joker bootleg), the 3CD Church With No Upstairs (Hanging Dog bootleg) and, from 25 July 1965, on Live in Newport 1965 (Document bootleg)."
This is the alternate take released on The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3 in 1991 (see below). I can find no evidence that an alternate take of It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry was ever included on any Highway 61 Revisited pressings, so I can only assume that Greil is confusing it with R-0046 (see 1965).
7" Singles (1965): Positively 4th Street.; Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window? - early, slower, version released on a 7" single as Positively 4th Street by mistake and withdrawn very quickly (R-0044, see 1965)
The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3 (1991): Sitting On A Barbed Wire Fence; Like A Rolling Stone (alternate take); It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry (alternate take, wrongly listed by me until recently as R-0394, from Columbia acetates that surfaced in 1980)
Highway 61 Interactive CD-ROM (1995): several incomplete takes of Like A Rolling Stone from the recording sessions
The Bootleg Series Vol. 7 (2005): It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry (new alternate take, not the former R-0394); Highway 61 Revisited (alternate take); Tombstone Blues (alternate take); Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues (alternate take, previously unknown to collectors); Desolation Row (alternate take, already in circulation amongst collectors)
Vinyl and Tape Releases
"Highway 61 Revisited" - stereo vinyl LP releases, Columbia CS 9189
(USA), Aug 1965; Columbia KCS 9189 (USA), 1970s; Columbia PC 9189 (USA), 1979:
For the mono release of this album, see Mono Album
Releases. The first US stereo pressing of this album contained a rarity, R-0046, an alternate take
of From A Buick 6 with a harmonica intro - see 1965
for more details.
The photos of the sealed US LP from eBay, courtesy of Christopher Casale
and Gerd Rundel,
show copies of the album still in the original shrink-wrap. Like the mono LP
(see Mono Album Releases), they have a white
sticker with violet text advertising Like A Rolling Stone - the single had been
released before the album. They also have a red sticker with white text
advertising that the package contains a free picture suitable for framing. The
picture by "Lambert" is still in the shrink-wrap on the back of the album,
covering most of the rear of the album sleeve on both copies. Thanks to Robert Kornovich for information from a book called "The Label: The Story of
Columbia Records" by Gary Marmorstein which says the picture was included by Columbia with the
earliest copies of the album in one US region only. The first
release labels have the text "NONBREAKABLE", which is missing from the
second release (which has the same sleeve as the first). Gerd Rundel's copy has a third white sticker with black text "FOR DEMONSTRATION
USE ONLY NOT FOR SALE". The record of
Gerd Rundel's first release copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM 110640-1A
(stamped) S (hand-written), Side 2 - XSM 110641-1A (stamped). It comes in
the sleeve shown with the "LIKE A ROLLING STONE" sticker and includes R-0046.
Robert Johnson adds that his US copy with matrix number XSM110640-1B also has
the alternate take, as has Chip Ordway's US copy with matrix number
XSM110640-1C.

Zack Van Natta has a copy of this album with "Columbia Masterworks" on the
labels at bottom left. "NONBREAKABLE" is present on the labels. The
rear sleeve is the variant with "meaningless" in the liner notes and there is a
small "7" printed at bottom right.
 Columbia CL 2389 (USA) - detail of rear, photo by Michael Goodall |
Michael Goodall has a copy of Columbia CS 9189 with a "MADE IN JAMAICA, W.I." sticker on the rear sleeve. It also has a small silver heart-shaped symbol at bottom right. The shrink wrap is heavier than for a US release and was probably put on after the sticker. The record labels are the second release without "NONBREAKABLE". This album was almost certainly made in the USA and exported to Jamaica, where the sticker was affixed. |

 Columbia CL 2389 (USA) - picture from eBay, fake record in white vinyl |
Thanks to Geir Olsen for finding this copy of the Columbia US release on eBay with a white vinyl record. Unfortunately this is almost certainly counterfeit, as no copies with coloured vinyl records have ever been released officially by Columbia. Thanks to Hans Seegers, Gerd Rundel, Christopher Casale and Michael Goodall for information and scans. |

 Columbia JC 9189 (USA) - Side 2 scan by Alan Tautfest (1980s release) |
Betti Dockery's copy is a later pressing, with just "Columbia 9189" on the front. The "STEREO"/arrows logo is missing from the front sleeve. The record labels have the Columbia logo in a ring. Alan Tautfest has a copy of the same release, of which he says: "I purchased this copy new in 1988. When CBS introduced the "Nice Price" series of mid-line priced LPs ($5.98) in 1979 they changed most of the early Dylan catalogue prefixes to PC xxxx. On your site you have some of the transitional copies that stickers with the PC xxxx catalogue number which were marked with gold promo stamps on the back covers in 1980s and were given away as promotional copies. The list price of Highway 61 Revisited however did not change and had the JC prefix which was full list price ($7.98). The JC prefix is only on the spine and LP."
"Den" has a copy of this album with the same sleeve as the 2001 180gm release below with a bar code on the rear sleeve. It has similar labels to the 1980s release Columbia JC 9189, but with catalogue number of just "C 9189" on the labels. Scans of the labels required.
Thanks to Alan Tautfest and Betti Dockery for information and scans.

The Canadian stereo album Columbia CS 9189 was released twice in the 1960s with a mono/stereo rear sleeve with a stereo stamp, first with the "STEREO"/"360° SOUND"/arrows logo on the record labels in black and secondly with the "STEREO"/"360° SOUND"/arrows logo on the record labels in black. The Canadian release has "LITHO IN CANADA" on the front sleeve and the record has labels with the "STEREO"/arrows logo in black, whereas it is in white on the US release. The same rear sleeve was used for the Canadian mono and stereo releases - the stereo release has an inked stamp at top left with text "PLAYABLE ON MONO EQUIPMENT. FOR BEST RESULTS USE STEREO NEEDLE".
Thanks to Frank for the Side 1 labels of the Canadian release. The Canadian label has the "NONBREAKABLE" text used on the first US label of this album. Both the two US releases and the Canadian release have the STEREO/360° SOUND/arrows logo in white. The Canadian label with the STEREO/360° SOUND/arrows logo in black is much rarer and precedes the white text version.
This album was re-released in the 1970s as Columbia KCS 9189 with the same front sleeve, a rear sleeve with a printed "STEREO"/arrows logo and new style record labels with the Columbia logos in a ring round the circumference.

The interesting item on the left is said to be a picture disc edition of the Columbia Canada release. However, as far as I know, no Dylan picture discs have ever been released by Columbia worldwide. Thanks to Ed Ricardo for finding this item. Thanks to Hans Seegers, Manuel Garcia Jara and Lars M. Banke for information and scans. |

Lars M. Banke has two copies of the Canadian 1970s release KCS 9189 bought in Sweden.
The first has the Columbia logos on the front and rear sleeves obscured by black marker pen and white ring-shaped stickers on the labels also hiding the Columbia logos.
The second has a gold foil square sticker covering the Columbia logo on the front sleeve. On the rear sleeve it looks as if a similar sticker covering the Columbia logo at top right has been removed. The copyright text including "Columbia" at the bottom of the sleeve is untouched. On the record labels an unsuccessful attempt has been made to remove the ring-shaped stickers!

"Highway 61 Revisited" - stereo vinyl LP, CBS SBPG 62572

For the mono release of this album, see Mono Album
Releases.
 CBS SBPG 62572 (UK) - front photo by Henry V. Bell (first and second releases) |
The British rear design is completely different from that of the US release with just one photo of Bob, different from any of the three photos on the US rear sleeve. The liner notes contain many minor differences from the American notes. For example, the characters "Savage Rose & Fixable" are here called "Savage Rose & Openly". For a complete list of these differences, see Rod MacBeath's article "Looking Up Dylan's Sleeves Part One" in "The Telegraph" issue 50, Summer 1994. I can only assume CBS UK were given an earlier version of Bob's notes. Even so, the notes do correctly have "meaningless" (see US sleeves above). |

There were three different stereo releases of this album in the UK in the 1960s. Mick Robinson has a copy of the first release. The rear sleeve has "STEREO SBPG 62572" underneath the stereo/arrows logo at top left and the track timings at the bottom are not boxed. The record labels have "62575" above "è 1965" instead of "62572" - this must be a typesetting error. They also show the playing speed "33" instead of "33⅓" on the second release. The record has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - SBPG 62572 A//2-420 1:1, Side 2 - SBPG 62572 B//1-420 1:2. Gerd Rundel has a copy of the first release with "62572" correct on Side 2 only. The record has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - SBPG 62572 A//2 420 1 1 1, Side 2 - SBPG 62572 B//1 420 1 1 2. The front of the sleeve is laminated, the rear is matt and has three fold-over flaps.
Henry Bell's second release copy shown has a stereo sleeve with printed "STEREO"/arrows logo and the record has orange CBS labels and matrix numbers: Side 1 - SBPG 62572-1A-1, Side 2 - SBPG 62572 B2. The catalogue numbers on the record labels are correct with "62572" on both sides. The track timings at the bottom of the rear sleeve are in a box. Rene Kejlskov Jørgensen has a copy of the second stereo release record in a mono sleeve with a "STEREO" sticker on the rear sleeve. The CBS logo on the front sleeve is finer than that on Hans Seegers' mono sleeve. The record has matrix numbers: Side 1 - SBPG 62572 1A1, Side 2 - SBPG 62572 2B2. It has an orange CBS generic inner sleeve with details of recent CBS UK albums of artists like Marty Robbins, The Byrds, etc.
Sandra Bishop's 1960s copy has a third sleeve variant with the CBS logo and "Stereo" in a box front top left and rear top right. The musician credits at rear top right are no longer listed. The track timings at the bottom of the rear sleeve are no longer in a box and there is a new box with text about playing CBS stereo records. The record labels are the same as the second release labels above.
Nol Grint has a fourth variant of the UK stereo release:
Front of sleeve: identical to scan of Henry V. Bell (first and second release)
Rear of sleeve: folded over flaps, track list boxed as in the photo by Henry V. Bell, stereo arrow + logo with catalogue number underneath it as in the photo by Henry V. Bell, but: no credits for the producer or the musicians (like the scan by Gerd Rundel). The sleeve notes have the "meaningless" variant.
Record labels: orange labels, Side 1: "62572 A" (correct), Side 2: "62575 B" (incorrect), rest of labels identical to first release (scans by Gerd Rundel)
 CBS S 62572 (UK) - front scan by Manuel Garcia Jara (1975 release) |
This release with orange/yellow CBS record labels is dated 1975 on the labels, but may date from the late 1970s/early 1980s because of the sleeve design. The front sleeve is the same design as Sandra Bishop's third 1960s design above. The rear sleeve is also the same design as Sandra Bishop's third 1960s design above, with the text box about playing CBS stereo records, and the addition of codes "CB | 271" boxed plus "60" in a circle at top right and "LC 0149" in a lozenge at bottom right. The record of the copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - CBS-S-62572-A4, Side 2 - CBS-S-62572-B5. |

 CBS 62572 1/Simply Vinyl SVLP 173 (UK) - front scan by Manuel Garcia Jara (2000 180gm release) |
There was a 2000 Columbia stereo 180gm vinyl release in
association with Simply Vinyl. The rear sleeve is similar to the original
1966 design without musician credits and the bottom boxed text. The record
has orange 1960s UK style Columbia labels. The copy shown has
matrix numbers: Side 1 - 62572 1A, Side 2 -
62572 1B. Thanks to Henry V. Bell, Mick Robinson, Rene Kejlskov Jørgensen, Sandra Bishop, Augie Krater and Manuel Garcia Jara for information, photos and scans. |

"Highway 61 Revisited" - stereo vinyl LP releases, CBS CS 9189 (Singapore), 1965:
 CBS CS 9189 (Singapore) - front scan by Gerd Rundel (US stereo sleeve, see above) |
These releases exported to Singapore use the US stereo sleeve without any stickers over the Columbia logos. Both records have the same US sleeve with "meaningful" in the liner notes and a small "7" printed at bottom right of the rear sleeve. The pressings have the standard version of From A Buick Six, not the rarity. The records have red CBS labels with three logos and the same handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-110640, Side 2 -XSM-110641. The earlier record label has "Nonbreakable" to the left of the centre hole, on the later label it's missing. On this label the mono matrix numbers “XLP 110640/XLP 110641” are printed to the right of the centre hole. The later label has the correct matrix numbers: "XSM 110640/XSM 110641". |

This album was manufactured in Mexico in 1966. It has a new title in Spanish and a unique rear sleeve with
country-specific sleeve notes in Spanish also. The Dylan sleeve notes are
missing. The song titles are not
translated. The record has orange CBS labels. For a 1988 Mexican stereo

 CBS S 62572 (NL) - Side 2 scan by Rene Kejlskov Jørgensen (1967 release) |
Thanks to Rene Kejlskov Jørgensen for information and scans of the 1967 release. The front sleeve is the same as the UK sleeve with "S 62572" above the CBS logo at top left. The rear sleeve has the same layout as the US sleeve. The record has orange CBS labels with matrix numbers: Side 1 - S 62572-A, Side 2 - S 62572-B. Gerd Rundel has a different 1967 Dutch release which comes in a fully laminated sleeve with two differences on rear from Rene's sleeve shown above: the "B" is missing to the left of the catalogue number and CBS logo at top right, and it has “NL PRINTED IN HOLLAND” printed vertically in the bottom right hand corner. The record labels are the same as Rene's 1967 release, but the record has stamped UK matrix numbers: Side 1 - SBPG-62572-1A-1, Side 2 -SBPG-62572-1B-1. It's possible the record was pressed in the UK and then sent to Holland to be given Dutch labels and put in a Dutch sleeve.
Thanks to Mick Robinson for scans of a 1970s release with orange/yellow CBS labels.

Thanks to Paul Prince for photos of what appears to be a 1980s Dutch release on gold vinyl with red CBS labels. Thanks to Dag Stian Husby for scans of the regular 1980s release on black vinyl. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information that this is an unofficial release that was not released by CBS Holland, but may have been privately pressed. Patti Fultz has a picture disc with catalogue number CBS S62572 with the cover picture on Side 1 and the liner notes/rear photograph on Side 2. This comes in a clear plastic wallet and claims to have been manufactured in Canada, but is again definitely unofficial.
Thanks to Manuel Garcia Jara for scans of the 1991 Columbia release. This had a "Dylan Originals 20 Years on Columbia Nice Price" front sticker.

"Highway 61 Revisited" - stereo 4-track tape cartridge, Columbia 14 10 0064 (USA), 1967:
 Columbia 14 10 0064 (USA) - front of tape cartridge, scan by Hanns Peter Bushoff |
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. The running order is changed as follows, to make both programs of equal length.

"Highway 61 Revisited" - stereo vinyl LP reissue, CBS SBP 233279 (Australia), 1967, re-released 1969 and twice in 1970s:
 CBS SBP 233279 (Australia) - front scan by Stuart Moore (1967 and first 1969 release) |
The rear sleeve of this album is similar to the US rear
sleeve. The 1967 sleeve is the same as the first 1969 release shown except
that it has folded over flaps. The 1960s records have solid orange CBS
labels while the 1970s records have orange/yellow CBS labels. The 1967
record has the Allan's logo on the labels. The record labels shown 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. |

Each of the 1960s front sleeves has a different "Stereo" logo at centre top, although the record labels are very similar. The first rear sleeve doesn't have the text box at the bottom, the subsequent rear sleeves all have it.
None of the 1969 releases shown or the 1970s releases have the Allan's logo on the labels, although all the songs are still credited to Allan's. (Allan's were music publishers in Australia for Bob Dylan records from 1965 to 1969.) The record with the final 1960s/early 1970s labels comes in the same sleeve as the third 1969/1970s releases. The labels are different from the previous labels because "BOB DYLAN - HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED" is now on one line like the new design 1970s labels. Also "Allan's" under the song titles is no longer in brackets. The second 1970s record labels have longer copyright text along the bottom edge. 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.

"Highway 61 Revisited" - stereo vinyl LP reissue, CBS
SBP 473233 (New Zealand), 1969, re-released 1970s:
For the New Zealand mono album release, see Mono
Album Releases.
 CBS SBP 473233 (New Zealand) - front scan by Bill Hester (1969 release) |
These releases use a mono/stereo sleeve with both
catalogue numbers and the US rear sleeve design. Both sleeves and records
were made in New Zealand. The 1969 record has plain orange CBS labels
without the Allan's logo from earlier 1960s releases. The 1969 front sleeve
has a silver foil "STEREO" logo sticker. The 1970s record has orange/yellow
CBS labels. There must have been a earlier New Zealand release of this album with Allan's logos on the labels (Allan's were music publishers in Australia and New Zealand for Bob Dylan records between 1965 and 1969). Thanks to Bill Hester for information and scans. |

"Highway 61 Revisited" - stereo vinyl LP, CBS CS 9189 (Philippines), 1969(?):
 CBS CS 9189 (Philippines) - front scan by Arie de Reus |
I'm dating this release as the late 1960s because the first release of John Wesley Harding in 1968 had a different record label style, while this release has the same label style as the second release of John Wesley Harding as shown. |

Like John Wesley Harding, this release was made in the Philippines by Mareco Inc. for CBS Records. It has a US stereo/mono sleeve with three folded-over flaps and the "meaningful" variant in the liner notes (see US releases above) with a couple of differences: the brown logo/catalogue number and album title on the US front sleeve are here a reddish brown, and on the rear sleeve the placement of the stereo and mono catalogue numbers at top right are different as shown with a CBS logo replacing the Columbia logo. The record has orange CBS labels and the copy shown has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM 110640-2A, Side 2 - XSM 110641-1A.

"Highway 61 Revisited" - stereo vinyl LP, CBS/Sony SONP-50345 (Japan), 1970; CBS/Sony SOPL-225 (Japan), 1974; CBS/Sony 25AP 273 (Japan), 1976:
 CBS/Sony SONP-50345 (Japan, 1970) with side obi - front scan by Hans Seegers |
Like the first US stereo pressing above, these albums contained a rarity, R-0046, an alternate take
of From A Buick 6 with a harmonica intro - see 1965
for more details. CBS/Sony SONP 50345 had a different rear sleeve from the
US release, with Japanese text and without pictures. The regular rear sleeve
formed the front of a 4-page folded insert. There was a red side obi with
price ¥1, 800. The promo record had black/white CBs/Sony promo labels and
the commercial record had orange/cream
CBS/Sony labels. CBS/Sony SOPL-225 had a buff top obi with price ¥2,000 and
an 8-page booklet. The copy shown has black/white CBS/Sony promo labels and
part of the obi is cut away - this was a token to collect to get a free
record. There were two releases of this album in Japan in 1976 with catalogue number CBS/Sony 25AP 273, both at price ¥2,500. The first had a gold side obi and the second had a dark red/white side obi. Note the apparently anachronistic 1976 picture of Bob from Hard Rain on the second 1976 obi. In fact the rear of the obi was generic, and lists the 19 Dylan albums then available in Japan, with Hard Rain the latest. Thanks to Hans Seegers and Wil Gielen for information and scans. |

The 1978 release has differences on the rear sleeve including the new address of Discos CBS Spain of Avenida del Generalisimo, Madrid, and the printer's name printed inside the bottom text box instead of below it (see 1971 release above).
