John Wesley Harding (1968)

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 still 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.

Original US stereo LP, Columbia KCS 9825, 9 Apr 1969.
The front photograph is by Elliot Landy, taken not in Nashville, TN, but at
Woodstock, NY.
This album did not have a separate mono mix, but a mono version reduced from
stereo was released outside the USA - for this see Mono
Album Releases.
For
details of quadraphonic releases of Nashville Skyline with
rarities, see 1974 |

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 are available in 5.1 surround sound, but not this one, despite the
fact it was released in a quadraphonic mix in 1974.
Two out-takes from this album have been officially released:
One Too Many Mornings - Bob and Johnny Cash duetting at the Nashville
Skyline sessions in the
1969 film and video Johnny Cash: The Man Ÿ
His World Ÿ
His Music (R-0069, see VHS & DVD
1960s).
I Threw It All Away - an alternate take to the version on Nashville
Skyline appeared on the Sony Music Bob Dylan Custom Mix CD web-site, Apr
2003 (R-0606, see Online Performances (Other) ).

Thanks to Gil Walker for
news about a tape being auctioned on eBay that was recorded during the Nashville
Skyline sessions at Columbia Recording Studios, Nashville, TN, 14 Feb
1969, with five out-takes of Lay, Lady, Lay and a previously uncirculating
song Going To Chicago. This has been added to the Starlight in The East "G"
page. It has different lyrics from Doc Watson's Going To Chicago Blues,
so may be a Dylan original. Thanks to Tim Dunn for
information that this tape with five takes of Lay, Lady, Lay is part of what
in 1993 were known as "The Lost Warehouse Tapes". These were between 2200
and 3000 reels of tape recorded between 1953 and 1971, discarded by Columbia
and acquired by record producer Clark Enslin. Other recordings by Bob are
known to be Mr. Bojangles (released on the 1973
Dylan album), Wild Thing, Blue Moon,
Ring Of Fire and Take A Message To Mary. |

The promo LP shown above has a radio station timing strip on the front sleeve. The
original inner sleeve shows covers of contemporary Columbia albums with the
title "The Sound of the Revolutionaries on Columbia Records". The record
itself is a regular release with red Columbia "360° Sound" Stereo
labels.
Gerd Rundel's copy has record matrix numbers:
Side 1
- XSM139756-1H (stamped), Side 2 - XSM 139757-1A (handwritten). Rene Kejlskov Jørgensen has a similar copy with matrix numbers:
Side 1 - XSM139756-1AB, Side 2 - XSM139757-1L. Stephen MacKinnon has a white label test pressing of the album with blank
labels in a plain white sleeve. It has stamped matrix numbers:
Side 1 -
XSM139757-1F, Side 2 - XSM139756-1G. The track timings are slightly different from the
released album, but by no more than a second or two.
Christopher Burton says: "I have a US pressing of Nashville Skyline
with KCS 9825 on the cover and labels and with the first "Featuring Lay Lady
Lay" sticker on the shrink. The stamped matrices are: Side
1 - XSM139756-1AB, Side 2 - XSM139757-1L (same as Rene Kejlskov Jørgensen's
copy) but the labels are the later red ones with yellow "six-eye" Columbia
writing around the edges, not the original "two-eye" 360° stereo sound
labels. The front and rear cover photos also have noticeably less of a blue
tinge than most of the other "Skyline" cover images on your site."
Thanks to Jean-Pol
Hiernaux for the picture of a 1970 commercial release with a front sticker with
the text "Featuring LAY LADY LAY". Thanks to Hans Seegers for scans of the
stickers. The orange sticker is from the mid 1970s release of PC 9825, although
it has "KCS 9825" on the sticker. The 1970s Canadian release below also has a front sticker
with the text "Featuring LAY LADY LAY". The album was released as JC 9825 in the
late 1970s, without a barcode on the rear sleeve as shown, and reissued around
1983 with a barcode on the rear sleeve - scans required. Jeremy Mayle's copy
without the barcode has
stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM139756-3D,
Side 2 - XSM139757-3A. There is also a stamped "Columbia NY" and a handwritten
"T" on Side 2.
Thanks to Hans Seegers, Ulf Gyllenspetz, Gerd Rundel and Jeremy Mayle for information and
scans. Thanks to Stuart Moore for the
scan of the Big Three Music Corporation US sheet music for
the album.

Columbia 14 HO 0670
(USA) - top of tape cartridge, scan by Manuel Garcia Jara |
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 the 8-track format (see below). The cartridge is in green
plastic with two paper labels.
Thanks
to Manuel Garcia Jara for information and scans. |

"Nashville Skyline" - stereo vinyl LP, CBS SPBG

Henry V. Bell
The
Upton record itself is in a generic paper sleeve (see below), and has orange
CBS labels with catalogue
number "S 63601". It has stamped matrix numbers
SBPG 63601 A1/B2. Henry V. Bell's QSL copy has
the same record labels with matrix numbers
SBPG 63601 A2/B1. Both my Upton copy and Henry V. Bell's QSL copy have a gold foil "STEREO"
sticker next to the top rear CBS logo. The text on the bottom edges of the rear sleeves differs as
follows:
- Left of sleeve: QSL - "CBS is a trademark of Columbia Broadcasting
Systems Inc., USA", Upton - same text, different typeface.
- Middle of sleeve: QSL - "Cover photo: Elliott Landy. Back cover photo:
Al Clayton", Upton - text missing
- Right of sleeve: QSL - "Sleeve printed by Quality Stationery Limited,
London EC1", Upton - "Produced by the Upton Printing Group"

CBS SPBG 63601 (UK) - front scan by Manuel Garcia Jara (late 1970s release) |
Shown on the right is a flyer for the album distributed by CBS to record
shops - this was acquired by Henry V. Bell when he worked at Shear's
Records in Belfast in 1969. The paper inner sleeve is generic, and contains details of current CBS albums
including The Byrds, Simon & Garfunkel, Blood Sweat & Tears, and Leonard
Cohen. The reverse of the inner sleeve is interesting in that it contains an
eight point propaganda piece about buying music on vinyl records. At the time
the only serious alternative to vinyl was 8-track cassettes, which were much
more prevalent in the USA than in the UK. The "Compact Cassette" medium had not
yet become established. The rear sleeve has the then CBS
postal address of CBS Records, 28/30 Theobalds Road, London WC1. Henry V. Bell
points out the sleeve actually shows Nashville Skyline, and also has
albums with later catalogue numbers, so may not have been printed at the release
date of the album. His copy has a plain white sleeve. However, as far as I can
remember, I bought the album on the day it came out or very soon afterwards!
Crispin Ollington has a copy with the Upton sleeve, a plain white inner sleeve,
and matrix numbers
SBPG 63601 A1/B1 (the "S" is handwritten). It does
not have a gold foil "STEREO" sticker on the rear sleeve, nor is there a mark on
the sleeve when one could have been. This may therefore be the earliest UK
pressing. |

This album has a sleeve virtually identical to that from the

Allan's logo to the right of the centre hole on Side 1 and just "CONTROL" on
Side 2. Stuart Moore has two copies with the same sleeve without the sticker, the first
is from the early 1970s and has orange CBS labels without "CONTROL" or the
Allan's logo, the second is from the mid 1970s and has the later design orange/yellow CBS labels. (Allan's were
music publishers in Australia for Bob Dylan records between 1965
and 1969.)

Early Australian release labels had 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. 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.
Manuel Garcia Jara has a copy from the early 1980s with orange/yellow labels,
but with the longer copyright text and songs credited to "Warner Bros" and
"Chappell". The record of
this copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 -
MX159395, Side 2 - MX159396. (The first Australian Dylan album to be released
with songs credited to "Chappell" was Shot Of Love
in 1981.)

the late 1970s at the earliest since New Zealand still used the plain orange
1960s-style CBS labels for Desire in 1976. Both the late 1970s sleeve and record were made
by CBS Records Auckland.

"Nashville Skyline" - stereo
vinyl LP, CBS KCS 9825
(India), 1969:

CBS KCS 9825 (India) - front scan
by Gerd Rundel |
This
rare CBS India stereo vinyl release has the US catalogue number and a unique
rear sleeve (sadly without the Johnny Cash poem). The front picture of Bob
is pasted on to the white card sleeve, so there is a white border at top and
bottom and on the spine side. There is no spine text. The record has black CBS
labels with silver text unique to India and came in an EMI generic inner
sleeve. The album was made in India by the Gramophone Company of India, a
subsidiary of EMI, for CBS Records.

"Horizonte De Nashville [Nashville Skyline]" - stereo vinyl LP,

"Nashville Skyline" - stereo/mono vinyl LP,
CBS 27.024 (Uruguay), 1969:

CBS 27.024 (Uruguay) - front scan by Hans Seegers (promo and commercial
copies) |
Another very rare release from South America, this edition has the title
on the front sleeve and yet another unique rear design omitting the
Nashville skyline picture. The sleeve is made of thin card with three
folded-over flaps on the rear. The record is of
heavy vinyl and again has orange CBS labels with song titles in Spanish and
English. It is described as "Stereo/Mono" but to play it on a mono deck you
would have needed a stereo needle. On Side 1 of Hans Seegers' copy of the first release Bob's name
is misspelled as "BOD DYLAN". On Side 2 it's correctly spelled "BOB
DYLAN".
Thanks to Renaud Depierreux for finding two promo copies on eBay. The first
promo copy is of the first release and has promo stamps that say "Para uso
publicitario, muestras sin valor [For publicity use, material without value]" on
the rear sleeve and on the Side 1 "BOD DYLAN" label (the Side 2 picture is
missing). The other eBay promo copy (listed below as the third) is of the second release and has promo stamps
that say: "Disco de propaganda, prohibida su venta [Promotional disc, sale
prohibited" on the rear sleeve and on both record labels. The Side 1 label has
now been corrected to "BOB DYLAN".
Manuel Garcia Jara has a promo copy of the first release with "BOD
DYLAN" on both record labels and promo stamps which also say "Disco de
propaganda, prohibida su venta [Promotional disc, sale prohibited" on the rear
sleeve and on both record labels, as the second
eBay promo copy. The record of Manuel Garcia Jara's promo copy has matrix
numbers: Side 1 - XSM 139.756, Side 2 - XSM 139.757.

63601 (Spain), 1970; CBS S 63601 (NL for Spain), 1972; CBS S 63601 (Spain), 1974,
1976:

CBS S 63601 (Spain) -
front scan by Manuel Garcia Jara (1970 release) |
The 1970 album was released in Spain by Fonogram, S.A., Madrid,
on behalf of CBS Records. It was a hit in Spain and reached #4 in the charts
on 27 Apr 1970. The rear sleeve is plain white with the song titles in
English and Spanish and the Johnny Cash poem in English and Spanish. The
record has orange CBS labels dated 1970, song titles again in English and
Spanish and matrix
numbers: Side 1 - SBPG 63601 A1, Side 2 - SBPG 63601 B1.
The 1972 release was made by CBS Holland for the Spanish market and has "NL
PRINTED IN HOLLAND" on the rear sleeve, which is otherwise the same as the
Dutch sleeve with text in English front and back. The orange CBS record
labels are dated 1972 and say "MADE IN SPAIN" although they display the logo
of the Dutch copyright organisation STEMRA and were probably made in Holland
too. The song titles are in English, although Girl Of The North Country is
shown as "CON JOHNNY CASH [WITH JOHNNY CASH]".
Nashville Skyline was previously released in Spain by Discophon of
Barcelona in 1969 and Jan 1970 in mono, see Mono
Album Releases.

CBS 32675 PR (Spain) -

The 1985 album has a new catalogue number and was released in
the "Precio Redondo [Nice Price]" series. There is no CBS logo on the front
sleeve at top left. This 1985 release was also made in Spain by Discos CBS
S.A., Madrid, and used again the 1970 white rear sleeve with the song titles
in English and Spanish and the Johnny Cash poem in English and Spanish, this
time without the stereo information and the company's new Madrid address, Paseo
de la Castellana, 93, 28046-Madrid. (Between 1976 and 1982 the address was Avenida del
Generalísimo, 25, Madrid-16.) The record again has orange/yellow CBS labels, this time
with song titles in Spanish only, and was also made in Spain. |

- front with CBS logo, scan by Daniel Pritchett |
This
rare record with the same catalogue number as the US release has “360°
SOUND” red stereo labels with three CBS logos.
There is no country of origin on the sleeve or record labels, although all
instances of "Columbia" have been replaced by "CBS". The record labels have the US format but the catalogue number is in a
different type face, and the word "Nonbreakable" is present.
The
record of the copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 -
KCS

9825 B A 691 stamped.
Thanks to Hans Seegers and
Manuel Garcia Jara for information that the sleeves (and records without
labels up to 1967) 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 Daniel Pritchett for scans.

These cassette releases have only the front sleeve artwork
and the outsides of the inserts are virtually identical. Both cassettes are light grey with printed text in black, there are no paper labels.
Although the 1990s cassette insert has the CBS logo, the cassette itself has
"Columbia" and is therefore from 1991 or later. It has a chrome cassette as
well as Dolby noise

49825 (USA) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
This specially-licensed Half Speed Master version in
the "Mastersound" series was released in 1981. The sound
quality is far superior to that of the normal stereo LP, and probably to
that of the CD version before the SA-CD release in 2003! Thanks to Matthew Lutthans for
correcting the information previously shown here that this LP was prepared by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab. He says: "Every
Columbia half-speed I have is mastered by Vlado Meller at CBS, whereas
almost any product coming from MFSL, even those released on Decca (for
example Rolling Stones CDs) and Arts and Electronics classical releases,
bear the credits, "Mobile Fidelity Sound" or "Mastered by Original
Masteringworks." This label has only the
text "CBS and Mastersound are trademarks of CBS Inc." |

"Nashville Skyline" - CD release,
Columbia CK 9825
(USA), 1980s, reissued 1990s:

Columbia CK 9825
(USA) - front (my copy) |
The 1990s release, bought by me on a visit to the USA, has a
front insert of a single folded card with the poem by Johnny Cash on the
inside. The front picture has no Columbia logo at top left, but it does have
a Compact Disc logo at bottom right. The rear insert is a plain design with
only the tracklisting and the rear skyline picture is missing. The CD is
silver with black text. Gil Lamont has a copy, presumably from the late
1980s, with the same artwork as mine but a different design CD with the
earlier Columbia logo. Wil Gielen has a copy of the 1990s US release
imported into Japan in the mid-1990s with an obi from the Shinseido record store chain. The
obi has price ¥1,408 (cheaper than the equivalent Japanese release, but
accompanied by the Japanese characters for "excluding tax"). This means it
was imported into Japan after the introduction of sales tax in 1989. The
inserts are exactly the same as mine, with the CD difference as shown.
Thanks to Gil Lamont and Wil Gielen for information and scans.

The Spanish 1990s CD release is on CBS/Sony because the Columbia name could
not be used in Spain for legal reasons. It has the Sony Music Spanish address, Paseo

(Australia) - rear insert scan by Stuart Moore (late 1980s

Thanks to Bill Hester, Keith Schweiger and Stuart Moore for scans of the
Australian releases, CBS and Columbia CDCBS 63601. The CDs were manufactured in
Australia but the artwork is the same as the late 1980s European release and was
printed in Holland.
The CDs of the 1980s and 1990 CBS releases
were manufactured in Australia by Disctronics. The 1990 release also came in a
double pack with
John Wesley Harding.
The two Columbia releases are almost identical except that on the early 1990s
CD the text "MANUFACTURED IN AUSTRALIA BY SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT (AUSTRALIA)
LIMITED" in on three lines, and on the 1995 CD the text is on four lines.

"Nashville Skyline" - advance promo CD-R, Columbia/Sony
Music Entertainment CH 90319 (USA), 18 Jun 2003:

Columbia/Sony Music Entertainment CH 90319 (USA)
- promo insert scan by Hans Seegers |
This CD-R for radio play only comes in a clear plastic wallet with a
single-sided paper insert
dated "6/18/2003". I assume because it was sent to radio stations
the CD-R has only the CD layer of the hybrid SA-CD release below. Thanks
to Hans Seegers for information and
scans. |

MHCP 10008 (Japan), 17 Dec 2003:

Columbia CH 90319 (USA) -
front of digipak with sticker, scan by Manuel Garcia Jara |
This release is housed in a three-fold digipak and contains a CD version and
an SA-CD stereo version. There's no 5.1 surround sound version despite the
fact the album was also released in quadraphonic sound. The outside of the
digipak has a previously unpublished picture of Bob with Johnny Cash at the
recording sessions. The inside of the
digipak has three more pictures of Bob taken by Elliot Landy at Woodstock in
1969. The North American and European releases have no booklet. The SA-CD design reproduces the Columbia US "360º
SOUND" stereo vinyl label used in 1969.

Sony Music
SICP 20220 (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, currently sold in Japan
only. 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 "69-4-9" (9 Apr 1969) 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. |
