Highway 61 Revisited - 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 Highway 61 Revisited, click Up. This page is incomplete - more international stereo releases of this album 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!

The rear insert and inside front insert designs are totally different. Moise Potié's mid-1990s Canadian copy has a price code stamp on the rear insert, the CD is identical to the one shown.

|
Columbia/DCC GZS-1021 (USA) - front of slipcase scan by Gil Lamont |
This release was remastered by Steve Hoffman from the original 1965
master tapes and released by DCC under licence from Columbia. It was
generally accepted to be the definitive version of the album on CD, if not
on all formats, until the hybrid SA-CD/CD version was released (see below). Although it's out of print, it can still be purchased online from
retailers such as amazon.com. The CD itself is in a standard jewel
case inside a black/gold slipcase. Juergen Flicker has what looks like an earlier copy than Gil Lamont's with a different rear insert and CD. The insert has the barcode in a different location, "Disc manufactured in Japan" and a different Californian address for DCC, the gold CD has "Made in Japan" to the left of the centre hole. This copy did not have a slipcase. Wil Gielen has a copy of the US gold release imported into Japan with an obi from the Yukimu Corporation record store chain. This copy has a slipcase but is otherwise identical to Juergen Flicker's with the disc made in Japan and the first DCC address. The slipcase was printed in Canada. This copy has a black and gold obi with price ¥4,200 (excluding tax). Thanks to Gil Lamont, Juergen Flicker and Wil Gielen for information and scans. |

"Highway 61 Revisited" - CD release in "LP-Style" packaging, Sony Records SRCS 7904 (Japan), 21 Dec 1995:
"Highway 61 Revisited" - commercial and promo fourth CD releases, Sony Records SRCS 9074 (Japan), 21 Oct 1996:
 Sony Records SRCS 9074 (Japan) - front with obi, scan by Hans Seegers |
Thanks to Éamonn Ó Catháin
for information and scans of this item in the "Super 1600 Nice Price"
series, which is housed in a regular jewel case with an obi, and booklet
giving the lyrics of the songs in Japanese. The obi has a date of "96-10-21"
and price of ¥1,600. It also has a date of "65-9-1" which must be the
original Japanese release date. Hans Seeger's copy has a "sell by" date of
"98.10.20" at the bottom right of the obi, which has been covered by red
tape on Éamonn Ó Catháin's copy! I can
only assume the second copy was sold after the intended withdrawal date. The promo release has a sticker on the rear
insert and a stamp with "SAMPLE" on the CD itself. Thanks to Hans Seegers for further information and scans. |

This release is housed in a two-fold digipak and contains both a CD version and
an SA-CD stereo version. The inside of the
digipak has two unpublished pictures of Bob from 1965. The sound of this
release is much brighter and harder than that of the 1992 DCC gold CD mix by
Steve Hoffman (see above) - for a detailed description, see Roger Ford's "Electric
Dylan" web-site
.
There is an 8-page booklet with the original sleeve notes and more unpublished pictures of Bob from 1965. The SA-CD design reproduces the Columbia US "360º SOUND" stereo vinyl label used in 1965. The booklet for the Canadian releases has been printed in Canada. This release also has the sticker shown for The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan on the outside of the shrink-wrap.
Thanks to Hans Seegers for information about the Japanese release. It has a black/blue/gold on white obi with price ¥2,520. Thanks to Keith Schweiger for the scans.

This CD is actually the 2004 European remastered release made in Austria
packaged with an obi in Chinese and English for the Taiwanese market.
Confusingly, it has the American catalogue number "CK 92399" on the spine of
the obi. There is also a release of Bringing It All Back Home in the
same "Rock 'N' Roll Fame of Hall" (LOL!) series with the same colour obi.
This is #6. Thanks to Augie Krater for information and scans. |

The copies shown are still sealed, with a blue and white obi with price ¥2,500 (¥2,381 before tax). The release date is shown as "08-12-24" (24 Dec 2008), the original release date as "65-8-30" (30 Aug 1965) and the withdrawal date as "09-6-23" (23 Jun 2009). It's not actually a Blu-ray disc as it says on the sticker, but it is made using Blu-ray technology. Two sealed copies are shown, one with a numbered promo sticker on the rear of the obi.
Éamonn Ó Catháin said (14 Mar 2009): "I just received my first ever Blu-Spec CD, Highway 61Revisited. The sound is very good, as good as it can get from a CD (except the Hoffman DCC). I A/B'd it with my original Japanese CD and the sound from the new one leapt from the speakers, making the other one sound lifeless in comparison. The bass work on It Takes A Lot T o Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry is outstanding and incredibly detailed. Instruments seem much better placed and in some cases the voice appears more centred than hitherto. I found Desolation Row to be a revelation, very engaging, a real performance."
Thanks to Wil Gielen for information and scans.
