Self Portrait
(1970)

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 entries required. For releases of this album in CBS/Columbia multi-packs, see International Album Releases (Regular) - Multi-Packs.

Original US stereo LP, Columbia KC 30290, 21 Oct 1970 (current CD is also Columbia 30290).

The front photograph is by Columbia staff photographer Len Siegler, from Aug or Sep 1970. Like Self Portrait, neither Bob's name nor the album title appear on the front sleeve, although this was changed on some international releases - see below. The rear picture shows Bob with Victoria Spivey at Cue Recording Studio New York, 2 Mar 1962, at the session that produced Three Kings And The Queen (see 1964), and Kings And The Queen Vol. 2 (see 1972).

This album did not have a separate mono mix, but a mono version reduced from stereo was released in South America - for this see Mono Album Releases.

Out-takes from this album are:

7" Singles: Spanish Is The Loving Tongue (solo version R-0072, see 1971) (For R-0096, the band version of Spanish Is The Loving Tongue, Self Portrait out-take released on the album Dylan, see 1973.) Watching The River Flow, the A-side of the single, was recorded in Mar 1971 and released on Greatest Hits Vol. 2.

Dylan (1973): Lily Of The West (R-0097), Sara Jane (R-0098), I Can't Help Falling In Love (R-0100), Mr. Bojangles (R-0101), Big Yellow Taxi (R-0102), Mary Ann (R-0103), Ballad of Ira Hayes (R-0104). For all these see 1973.

The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3 (1991): If Not For You (alternate take).

Apple iTunes Online Music Store (2004): Went To See The Gypsy (previously unreleased piano demo R-0683, see Online Performances (Other)

"Chronicles Volume One 6 Song Sampler" (2004): New Morning (with tuning/intro); Father Of Night (see 2004). Both of these tracks appear to be remastered, and may be from a forthcoming remastered release of New Morning. New Morning includes the tuning/intro that was present on the original US and UK vinyl releases (R-0071, see 1970), but has been absent from all CD releases of the album including the latest remastered worldwide releases.


Vinyl and Tape Releases


"New Morning" - promo stereo LP releases, Columbia KC 30290 (USA), Oct 1970:
Only the first US pressing of the album had the tuning/intro at the start of the title track (R-0071, see 1970).


Columbia KC 30290 (USA) - front with radio station timing strip, scan by Gerd Rundel (promo release 1)

Along the bottom of the front sleeve of Gerd Rundel's promo copy is pasted an 11" x 3" white promo sticker with the text: "COLUMBIA RECORDS RADIO STATION SERVICE - NOT FOR RESALE" plus the track listing and track timings. The rear has the Columbia logo and "KC 30290" catalogue number as shown below for the commercial copy. The record labels are the commercial red Columbia design with the logo in a ring round the circumference. They have a completely different layout from the later KC 30290 labels shown below with a different typeface and track list layout, "NEW MORNING" above "BOB DYLAN" and one song listed above the centre hole. Details of the two labels are shown below in the entry for the commercial copy. Gerd Rundel's promo copy of KC 30290 has matrix numbers: Side 1 - P AL 30290-1E, Side 2 - P BL 30290-1D.

Manuel Garcia Jara's promo copy has a sticker with "PROMOTION - Not For Sale" on the rear sleeve. It has different labels yet again from Gerd Rundel's copy and Stuart Moore's promo copy below. "BOB DYLAN" is above "NEW MORNING", but in a completely different type face form the copy below. The song title layout is also different. The record of this copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - KC PAL-30290-1G, Side 2 - KC PBL-30290-1G.

Thanks to Tim Norford for finding the first promo item and to Gerd Rundel and Manuel Garcia Jara for scans.

"New Morning" - commercial stereo LP, Columbia KC 30290 (USA/Canada), 21 Oct 1970; reissues: Columbia JC 30290 (USA), late 1970s; Columbia PC 30290 (USA), 1980s:
Only the first US pressing of the album had the tuning/intro at the start of the title track (R-0071, see 1970).


Columbia KC 30290/PC 30290 (USA) - front scan by Stuart Moore
The front sleeve has no text. Thanks to Stuart Moore for scans of two US releases and to Frank for the scan of the "1960s-style" Canadian Side 1 label, which has the white "STEREO"/"360° SOUND"/arrows logo and Bob's name above the album title (See the Malaysian label below). The KC 30290 labels shown are completely different from those of the promo copy above with "BOB DYLAN" above "NEW MORNING", no songs listed above the centre hole, and a different typeface and track list layout. Hans Seegers says these label variations occur because Columbia had seven pressing plants in the USA at that time, and they sourced their record labels independently. Rene Kejlskov Jørgensen's copy of KC 30290 has matrix numbers: Side 1 - AL 30290-1C, Side 2 - BL 30290-1C.

The rear sleeve of the 1980s PC 30290 reissue still has the catalogue number "KC 30290". Lars M. Banke has a copy of PC 30290 which was probably exported to Scandinavia which has the Columbia name obscured on the rear sleeve and the Columbia logos blacked out with stickers on the record labels.

"New Morning" - stereo vinyl LP, CBS S 69001 (UK), Oct 1970:

NewMorningUKFront.JPG (14765 bytes)
CBS S 69001 (UK) - front (my copy)

All UK pressings of the album had the tuning/intro at the start of the title track (R-0071, see 1970).

The front sleeve has no text, not even a CBS logo/catalogue number. The record has orange UK CBS labels with stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - S 69001-A2, Side 2 - S 69001-B1. Rene Kejlskov Jørgensen has a copy with matrix numbers:  Side 1 - S 69001-A1, Side 2 - S 69001-B1. The central CBS is more finely printed and the text below the centre hole is positioned slightly lower. It has the same outer and inner sleeves as my copy. Rene Kejlskov Jørgensen has another copy with the same labels and matrix numbers:  Side 1 - S 69001-A1, Side 2 - S 69001-B2.

The paper inner sleeve on the right above is a third example from 1970. The front features Simon and Garfunkel, with an interesting point for Paul Simon fans being the inclusion of the then UK-only solo album, The Paul Simon Song Book (unavailable for a long time but now in print again). The reverse shows current albums with the theme "Sounds of the 70s on CBS" (mostly easy listening, but Johnny Cash is featured). Again the rear sleeve shows the then CBS postal address of CBS Records, 28/30 Theobalds Road, London WC1.

"New Morning" - stereo vinyl LP, CBS S 69001 (NL), Oct 1970, re-released mid 1990s; reissue CBS 32267 (NL), 1982, re-released 1985:

NewMorningNL1Front.jpg (16065 bytes)

The original 1970 release was also exported to France, see the illustration with the French sticker. Wouter de Wit has a copy with a faint stamp in Dutch "Niet voor de Verkoop [Not for sale]". Hans Seegers informs me this was not used by CBS Holland for promo copies, and is probably from a library. The mid-1970s release still has catalogue number CBS 69001, but now has orange/yellow CBS labels. It has a CBS sticker on the rear sleeve which Hans says is from the transport box and shouldn't be attached to a record! The 1982 release had a new catalogue number, CBS 32267, orange/yellow CBS labels, and was re-released in 1985 with red CBS labels.

Thanks to Hans Seegers, Gerd Rundel and Wouter de Wit for information and pictures.


"New Morning" - stereo vinyl LP, CBS/Deutsche Schallplattenclub [German Record Club] H 132/3, reissued as CBS/Deutsche Schallplattenclub 28 132-9 (West Germany), 1970:


CBS/Deutsche Schallplattenclub H 132/3 (West Germany) - front scan by Hans Seegers
This record club edition has a unique rear sleeve with a 1960s picture of Bob at the piano. Both releases came in the same sleeve - the reissue just has a yellow sticker at the rear top right with text "Neue Best.-Nr. 28 132-9 bisher H 132/3 [New Order Number 28 132-9 previously H 132/3]".

"New Morning" - stereo vinyl LP releases, CBS S 64179 (Spain), Nov 1970, 1971 (two releases), 1974; CBS 32267 (Spain), 1983:
No Spanish vinyl pressings of the album had the tuning/intro at the start of the title track (R-0071, see 1970).


CBS S 64179 (Spain) - front scan by Manuel Garcia Jara (1970 COFASA release)

The first release of the album in Spain was by COFASA of Madrid on behalf of Discos CBS S.A. in Nov 1971. This was the last of five Dylan albums released by CBS in Spain in 1970: Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, Nashville Skyline, Self Portrait and John Wesley Harding were previously released this year. New Morning did not enter into the Spanish album charts as the other four albums did. The front sleeve had a slightly darker colour than the CBS editions, and the CBS logo was clearly visible, unlike that of the first CBS release. The sleeve was printed by Offset ALG of Madrid. The rear sleeve is identical to that of the CBS releases. Labels are plain orange with a different design from the CBS copies shown. The record of the copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - PAL-32190-1E, Side 2 - PBL-32190-2A.

The first CBS release of New Morning was the first release from the new CBS pressing plant in Madrid - previously Spanish releases had been manufactured by Discophon or COFASA. The sleeve was still printed by Offset ALG of Madrid. It had a light orange front sleeve on which the Columbia logo at top left was hardly visible. This was quickly withdrawn and reissued with a pale yellow front sleeve with the logo much more visible.

The track titles are translated into Spanish on the rear sleeve and the record labels. If Not For You is translated as "Si No Para Ti" which is meaningless in Spanish, the correct translation is "Si No Fuera Por Ti". A few critics wrote articles mocking this hilarious translation but it was never corrected and all the Spanish vinyl editions, even the latest reissues, have this translation. But these articles must have had some effect and CBS Spain changed the translation of "If Not For You" in new releases in other formats: the 7" single "New Morning /If Not For You" and the tape release below have the correct translation: "Si No Fuera Por Ti". The credits on the rear sleeve are also in Spanish. The records of both 1971 releases are the same and have orange CBS labels. Both copies shown have matrix numbers: Side 1 - S-69001 A2, Side 2 - S 69001 B3.

The album was released in 1974 with exactly the same sleeve. The record this time had orange/yellow CBS labels and the copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - 64179-A+, Side 2 - 64179-B+.

The album was re-released in 1983 with a new catalogue number, CBS 32267. The sleeve was this time printed by Indugraf of Madrid and there was no front CBS logo. The rear sleeve has the new Discos CBS S.A. address of Paseo de la Castellana, 93 - Madrid-16. The record has orange/yellow CBS labels and the copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - 64179-A0, Side 2 - 64179-B+ (the old catalogue number).

"New Morning" - stereo cassette release, CBS 40-64179 (Spain), 1971:


CBS 40-64179 (Spain) - outside of cassette insert, scan by Manuel Garcia Jara
This very rare cassette has song titles in Spanish only on the inlay card, which is otherwise without credits, just information about other tapes published by CBS Spain. The cassette is white with orange paper labels (slightly skewed!) with song titles in Spanish and English.

CBS 40-64179 (Spain) - cassette Side 1 scan by Manuel Garcia Jara

CBS 40-64179 (Spain) - cassette Side 2 scan by Manuel Garcia Jara

This tape is notable for various reasons: it was the second Dylan tape published in Spain, after Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, and it was released  in very limited quantities in 1971 when cassette players were still scarce in Spanish homes. In fact, CBS Spain did not release more tapes till 1974. This cassette was made by BIAS, S.A., an obscure company from Barcelona, and the quality of sound is poor. For some reason this is the only Spanish item with the intro at the start of "New Morning" song (R-0071, see 1970. If Not For You is correctly translated as "Si No Fuera Por Ti" (see above).

Thanks to Manuel Garcia Jara for information and scans.

Very few Dylan albums were released in Portugal during the Salazar regime, but this one was released in 1971. It has a laminated sleeve similar to the Dutch release with the addition of Portuguese printer's information "LITARTE - OLIV. DOURO" at bottom left of the rear sleeve. The record was made in Portugal and has dark orange CBS labels. The copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - LP-00-459-A plus "PORTUGAL", Side 2 -  LP-S-00-459-B.

The 1976 reissue, CBS/Sony 25AP 281 had a tan side obi with price ¥2,500 (the "25" in the new catalogue number indicates the price). It had a eight-page stapled booklet in English and Japanese. CBS/Sony 25AP 281 was reissued in early 1977 with a brown side obi and again in late 1977 with a wider brown side obi giving 1978 tour dates (the tour from which Bob Dylan At Budokan was taken). The copy shown is the early 1977 release with the narrower brown obi, scans of the other obis required.

CBS SBP 233887 (Australia) - Side 2 scan by Bill Hester (late 1970s release)

These releases use the standard front sleeve without text. The original record has orange CBS labels and songs copyrighted to "Albert". Also shown is a copy sent to Canberra AM radio station "2CA", with stamps on the rear sleeve and Side 1. 2CA is still in existence today, playing "classic hits" for an over 45 audience.

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. The late 1970s/1980s release has orange/yellow labels with the longer copyright text and has songs copyrighted to "Warner Bros". The front sleeve of the later release has a "Nice Price" sticker.

"New Morning" - stereo vinyl LP: CBS S 69001 (Greece), 1973, reissued 1982:

NewMorningUKFront.JPG (14765 bytes)
CBS S 69001 (UK) - front (my copy), this Greek release is identical

The 1973 record has dark-red "original first pressing" CBS labels with "MADE IN GREECE" and stamped matrix numbers AL 30290 A/B. The title track does not have the tuning/intro at the start. Although the album is official it was released during the Greek colonels' regime when Bob was banned in Greece and was therefore distributed "underground" by an Athens company called Music Box.

The 1982 record has orange/yellow CBS labels including Greek text and comes in the 1982 CBS 32267 Dutch cover (see above). The title track does have the tuning/intro at the start (R-0071). The equivalent Dutch record has catalogue number CBS 32267 on the labels, the same as the cover.

"New Morning" - stereo cassette releases: CBS CT 30290 (Australia?); CBS PC 887 (Australia), 1980s:


CBS CT 30290 (Australia?) - outside of cassette insert, scan by Stuart Moore
Both of these cassette releases were bought in Australia. Stuart Moore thought the first release was made in the USA, but as Columbia have never used the "CBS" brand for domestic releases, this is unlikely. The cassette is grey and has white CBS paper labels - the Side 1 label is missing.

The second release was definitely made in Australia and has a shorter insert with the track titles inside. The cassette is transparent smoked grey with the text printed directly on to it, there are no paper labels.
