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.

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.

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 International Albums
(Dylan-only Compilations). The 1997 "Nice Price" front
sticker text is "24-bit Digitally Remastered! Restored to original
