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.

Ian Woodward has a copy of a contemporary Columbia US LP with an insert headed "SQ - The Quadraphonic Record" promoting the Columbia SQ Quadraphonic System which includes a list of available Columbia Quadraphonic LPs and 8-track Quadraphonic tape cartridges. This includes Nashville Skyline, where a Quadraphonic release is known to exist, but also Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. 2, which to the best of my knowledge has never been available in Quadraphonic.

"Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II" - stereo vinyl 2LP set, Columbia KG 31120 (USA), 17 Nov 1971; Columbia PG 31120 (USA), mid-1970s:


Columbia KG 31120 (USA) - front with stickers, scan by Steven Fant (1971 release)

Gerd Rundel has a promo copy with two timing strips on the inside of the gatefold sleeve. The records have commercial Columbia labels, although the Side 1 label differs from that of  Steven Fant's Side 1 label in that the listing for track 4 is much more indented and the line spacing is different (see detailed scans below). The Sides 2-4 labels are identical. The records of this copy have stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - P AL 31121-1F, Side 2 - P BL 31121-1E, Side 3 - P AL 31122-1G, Side 4 - P BL 31122-1D.

Thanks to Robert Kornovich for scans of the original 1971 Canadian labels, which use the 1960s style with the "360° SOUND" - "STEREO" logo in white. Gord Pugh has a Canadian copy of the LP release where the catalogue number on the cover is PG 31120 but the discs are still KG 31120. It has a printed panel on the top right with the words "CONTAINS 2 RECORDS/ CONTIENT 2 DISQUES/ SPECIAL LOW PRICE" as shown for the mid-1970s copy. This is a Canadian re-release that used the original records in a reprinted cover. Derek Linfield has a copy of the same release where the catalogue number on the records is also KG 31120.

Manuel Garcia Jara has a mid-1970s copy of Columbia PG 31120 with a gold embossed promo stamp from CBS Records of Canada on the rear of the gatefold sleeve. The text is in French and English: "PRETE propriete exclusive de / COPY ON LOAN ONLY remains property of / CBS". This copy has the same record labels as those of Lars M. Banke, and the records of this copy have matrix numbers: Side 1 - AL-31121-1A, Side 2 - BL-31121-1B  CG2, Side 3 - AL-31122-1B-2H,D,Z,K, Side 4 - BL-31122-1A  2HDK.

Lars M. Banke has a mid-1970s copy of Columbia PG 31120 bought in Sweden where the Columbia logo on the front sleeve has been covered by a black circular sticker. Unlike other copies of Canadian and US Columbia albums bought in Denmark around the same time, other Columbia logos on the sleeve and on the record labels have not been hidden.

CBS SBP-234053 (Australia) - Side 2 scan by Stuart Moore (Side 4) (late 1970s release)

This set has catalogue number S2BP-220085. The early 1970s records have plain orange CBS labels and are numbered SBP-234052 and SBP-234053 respectively. The labels on the first release are a lighter orange and Sides 1-3 have a larger "CBS" within the centre logo with other differences from the second release labels as follows:

Side 1: track 4 is listed as "Stuck Inside Of Memphis With Thee" - on the second release it's changed to "Stuck Inside Of Memphis With The"
Side 2: Tracks 2 and 3 have no credits
Side 3: Track 2 has no credits
Side 4: text below logo printed higher.

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 release has orange/yellow new style CBS labels. The copyright text round the bottom edge was used from 17 Oct 1977 onwards. There may also be a release with orange/yellow labels and the shorter copyright text used before 1977.

Thanks to Stuart Moore for information and scans.

"Grandes Exitos Vol. II [Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II]" - stereo vinyl 2LP set, CBS S 66287 (Spain), 1972, re-released 1975, 1978, 1980, 1986:

1972 release (COFASA)


CBS S 66287 (Spain) - front scan by Manuel Garcia Jara (COFASA and CBS releases)
Even though the 1970 Spanish release of Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits had the 1967 UK tracklist, see here, this 2LP release had the US tracklist, so Positively 4th Street was missing from both albums. It has the US title on the front of the gatefold sleeve, but the Spanish title Grandes Exitos Vol. II on the spine. The gatefold sleeve was printed by Offset ALG of Madrid. The Discos CBS address is Calle Princesa 1, Madrid-13. The records were made in Spain by COFASA of Madrid for Discos CBS S.A. The inside of the gatefold sleeve has song titles in English and credits in Spanish. The records have orange CBS labels with song titles in English. The records of the copy shown have matrix numbers: Side 1 - PAL-31121-1H (stamped), Side 2 - PBL-31121-1F (stamped), Side 3 - P (handwritten) AL-31122-1J (stamped), Side 4 - PBL-31122-1AE (stamped).

The next Spanish release of this album was later in 1972. The sleeve was identical, but this time the records were made by CBS. The records have CBS orange labels, but with a different text layout from the COFASA labels. The matrix numbers of the records of the copy shown are: Side 1- PBL 31121-1F, Side 2 - PAL 31121-1AA, Side 3 - PAL 31121-1J, Side 4 - PBL 31121-1AE.

The 1975 release had the same gatefold sleeve as the 1972 releases, this time with a pink sticker with black text "ALBUM 2 DISCOS PRECIO ESPECIAL [2 DISC ALBUM SPECIAL PRICE]". The 1975 records had orange/yellow CBS labels and were made by Discos CBS S.A. themselves. The 1975 records of the copy shown have stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - PAL-31121-1H, Side 2 - PBL-31121-1F, Side 3 - PAL-31122-1L, Side 4 - PBL-31122-1AE.

1978 release


CBS S 66287 (Spain) - Side 1 scan by Manuel Garcia Jara (1978 release)
This 1978 release has the same sleeve as the 1972 to 1975 releases without a front sticker. This means the address of Discos CBS S.A. is still Calle Princesa 1, Madrid-13, when it should by now be Avenida del Generalísimo 25, Madrid-16.  However, Manuel Garcia Jara says that it was normal for Discos CBS to reuse sleeves for double albums; for some reason, Blonde On Blonde never had a CBS address, and other double albums (Self Portrait and The Basement Tapes) always had the first CBS address (Calle Princesa 1, Madrid-1) even on the reissues of the 1980s and 1990s.

Side 4 scan by Manuel Garcia Jara (1978 release)

The records again have orange/yellow CBS labels, but the labels of this copy are different - Sides 1 and 2 have the same labels as the 1975 release, while Sides 3 and 4 have a different text layout. The Sides 1 and 2 labels have text on three lines to the left of the centre hole, while the Sides 3 and 4 labels have text on four lines. Manuel thinks, as for the 1978 Spanish release of Self Portrait, CBS used sleeves and record 1s from stock and just ordered new copies of record 2! The 1978 records of the copy shown have stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - PAL-31121-1H, Side 2 - PBL-31121-1F, Side 3 - PAL-31122-1L, Side 4 - 65287-10.

1980 release

CBS S 66287 (Spain) - detail of fronts, scan by Manuel Garcia Jara (1972, 1975 and 1978 releases on left, 1980 and 1986 releases on right)

The 1980 release has a new gatefold sleeve with a smaller CBS logo at front top left and a much thinner spine with smaller, hardly visible, text. Even though the sleeve has been redesigned, it still has the old Discos CBS S.A. address of Calle Princesa 1, Madrid-13, when it should by now be Paseo de la Castellana 93, Madrid-16!

The 1980 labels have reverted to the 1975 orange/yellow design! (The same situation occurs with the 1980 Spanish release of Self Portrait.)  The records of the copy shown have stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - 66287-1-A0, Side 2 - 66287-1-B0, Side 3 - 66287-C0, Side 4 - 65287-D.

CBS S 66287 (Spain) - Side 4 scan by Manuel Garcia Jara (1986 release)

This release has the same sleeve as the 1980 release, again with the old Discos CBS S.A. address of Calle Princesa 1, Madrid-13. The records have red CBS labels and the copy shown has stamped matrix numbers which are still: Side 1 - 66287-1-A0, Side 2 - 66287-1-B0, Side 3 - 66287-C0, Side 4 - 65287-D.

"Grandes Exitos Vol. II [Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II]" - stereo cassette releases, CBS 40-66287 (Spain), 1976 (twice):


CBS 40-66287 (Spain) - outside of cassette 1 insert, scan by Manuel Garcia Jara (first release)

These cassette releases came as two separate cassettes, although they were not sold separately. On the outside of the cassette side 1 insert the album title is given incorrectly as Grandes Exitos Vol. 1 - this was not subsequently corrected. The song titles are listed in English. The first release cassette inserts were printed by an unusual printer, Gráficas Dauco, and have the Discos CBS S.A. address of Calle Princesa 1, Madrid-13. The insides of the cassette inserts are the same for each cassette and list contemporary CBS Spain cassette releases.

The second release cassette inserts were printed by Indugraf of Madrid and have the new Discos CBS address of Avenida del Generalísimo 25, Madrid-16. The inside inserts of the second 1976 release are different from the first in that "OTROS CASSETTES CBS" has changed to "OTRAS CASSETTES CBS" and Desire is listed in the second column (it's missing from the list on the first release inserts).

The cassettes were identical for both releases and have white cases with orange CBS paper labels with titles in English.

As explained there, this means that She Belongs To Me and It's All Over Now, Baby Blue appear on each of the current CD versions of the first two UK Greatest Hits albums, while Positively 4th Street and New Morning are missing! Positively 4th Street is on Biograph, but New Morning appears now only on its own album for UK CD buyers.

The 1980s CBS set is in a double-width 2CD jewel case, the 1997 Columbia release is in a slimline 2CD jewel case. The 1980s CBS release has the title in a blue circle on the front insert as for the 1987 Dutch release of the 2LP set, see here. The 1997 "Nice Price" front sticker text is "24-bit Digitally Remastered! Restored to original packaging!"
