The Basement Tapes (1975)
|
This page is part of a new section 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 not in the 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 PC 33893, 5 Jan 1976. Thanks to Charlie
Pritchard for the information that the cover photo is reportedly inspired by the
one on the 1970 solo album by John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas, The
Wolf King Of L.A.!
For
releases of Desire with rarities, including quadraphonic albums, see 1976.
For a UK cassette release with an unfaded version of Oh, Sister, see
1990.
This title was one of the fifteen Dylan albums released in Sep
2003 as a hybrid CD/SACD. This is playable both in stereo on an ordinary CD
player and in enhanced stereo on an SACD player or a DVD player that also plays SACDs
(Sony's higher range models all do this). Some titles will be available in 5.1
surround sound, but not this one, despite the fact it was released in a
quadraphonic mix.

Vinyl and Tape Releases
"Desire" - promo and commercial vinyl album, Columbia
PC 33893 (USA),
5 Jan 1976/CBS Masterworks C 33893 (USA), late 1970s:
"Desire" - Quadraphonic vinyl release, Columbia PCQ 33893
(USA)/CBS Q 86003 (NL/Spain)/CBS SBPQ 234778 (Australia/NZ), Jan 1976:

Columbia PCQ 33893 (USA) - front scan by Olav Langum ("Quadraphonic"
at top left)
|
As these quadraphonic albums are rarities, they're also listed in 1976. This album was created using the Columbia "SQ" quadraphonic system and has mistakes in:
R-0124 Joey - at the end of verse three there is a vocal
mistake - "to the boss I say he said" - this must have been
edited out on the regular release
R-0125 Romance In Durango - again at the end of verse three
there is a vocal mistake - "In the face of God will appear" -
this too must have been edited out on the regular release. It's also reported
there is an outstandingly bad trumpet track that was also removed from the regular stereo
release!
Another lesser difference is that in One More Cup Of Coffee there is
apparently an
intrusive scraping sound just before the third verse, again something that was
edited out of the regular stereo release
Rob van Estrik: "The entire album was
drastically remixed by Don DeVito from the master session tapes for quadraphonic
replay. The resulting LP sounds entirely different from the regular release
and is consequently one of the most collectable Dylan albums. Contrary to what
was stated in Isis #50, the CD version of the album is NOT the Quadraphonic
remix." This is confirmed by Les Kokay, who has sent me a detailed
analysis of the differences between the current CD version and the Quadraphonic
mix. Thanks to Olav Langum for the scans and further information.
The
very rare Dutch release has a similar rear sleeve to the regular release and the
same inner sleeve. The
Spanish release has a distinctive gold border, and extra printing on the right centre
of the front cover "NO. UNO EN USA" [#1 IN USA]. The rear sleeve has the song
titles in Spanish and English with pictures of six other quadraphonic releases
including
Nashville Skyline. Matrix numbers: QAL/P BL 33893-1A.
The labels translate the album title as "Deseo" and also have the song titles in
Spanish and English. (Information and scans from Hans Seegers.)
Thanks
to Bill Hester for information about the Australian release and Peter
Lindberg for photos. This release is in a gatefold sleeve with a laminated front
cover and buff quadraphonic SQ labels. It is dated 1975 (the copyright year).
Thanks to Hans Seegers for the information that the very rare New Zealand
quadraphonic release had the same catalogue number,
CBS SBPQ 234778, but had a different
cover and labels. Scans will be added as soon as possible.
There must be other international quad releases to list here! None of them were
ever reissued as far as I know.

CBS
86003 (NL) -
detail from front, scan by Patrick Helfrich (first and second releases) |
Patrick Helfrich has two releases of CBS 86003
with differences as detailed. He has two copies of the second release which
are not identical Both have a card inner
sleeve, which is not shaped like the inner sleeve of the UK pressing. There
is also a lyric sheet, not provided with the UK release.
The first release has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - 01-86003-2A-1 A NL,
Side 2 - 01-86003-3B-1 A NL.
This release has a "softer" cover compared to the two copies of
the second release, similar to the other normal Dutch pressings of Dylan albums.
The "BOB DYLAN DESIRE" text on the front cover is in a much lighter
colour than on the covers of the two copies of the second release. The back cover
has "LC" in right
bottom corner, with "CB271" and "57" in the top right corner. The labels
have a star above Rams Horn Music, no LC Number, (P) at bottom.
The second release (both copies) has matrix numbers: Side 1 - 86003 A III (handwritten) AL 33893 -3L (stamped),
Side 2 - 86003 B II (handwritten) BL 33893 -2B (stamped)
The cover of both copies is is thicker and more solid than the first
release - not as thick as US covers but thicker
than normal NL pressings, The "BOB DYLAN DESIRE" text on the front cover
is printed in deeper, stronger gold on one copy and with a green shade on
the second. There is no "LC" on the back cover, and a blue "Y" instead of
"CB271" and "57" in the top right corner. The labels have no "LC" and no
star above Rams Horn Music.
The Columbia 32750 1991 release has a "Nice Price Dylan Originals
30 Years on Columbia" sticker on the front cover and the logo has been
obscured. There is a barcode on the rear sleeve in the top right corner. It
has a paper inner sleeve and a lyric insert . The record has red Columbia
labels with matrix numbers: Side 1 - 01-32570-26-2A1 (handwritten) 01-86003-20 2A1(handwritten),
Side 2 - 01-86003-3B-1 (stamped) 01-32570-26-3B1(handwritten). |

"Deseo [Desire]" - vinyl album, CBS 86003
(Spain), Jan 1976; CBS S 86003 (Spain), 1977;
CBS/Sony 32570 (Spain), 1980s :

CBS 86003
(Spain) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
The catalogue numbers are the same as the
Dutch releases. Note the extra printing on the
right centre of the front cover "NO. UNO EN USA" [#1 IN USA]. On the rear
cover the sleeve notes are translated into Spanish. This album has a lyric sheet
in English (below), not included with the UK
release. The labels say "MADE IN SPAIN", but Hans Seegers assures me it
was actually manufactured in Holland for the Spanish market. There were
two releases with the same sleeve but different labels: the first release
in 1976 has the labels in English only, the second in 1977 has labels in Spanish and
English, with the album title translated as "Deseo". Patrick
Helfrich has a copy of the original release without the "NO. UNO EN USA" overprint and "y" on
the rear sleeve like the second Dutch release. he also has a 1980s copy
with serial number CBS 32570 with plain red CBS/Sony labels with titles in
English only. It has the front cover with the "NO. UNO EN USA" overprint
with the old catalogue number overprinted by the new one.

CBS/Sony SOPO
116 (Japan) -
front with obi (my copy) |
This album has an obi in dark green, pink and white with price ¥2,500.
The sleeve itself has the US design front and back. The record has
orange/cream CBS/Sony labels with matrix numbers: Side 1 - SOPO 116 A1
1A12, Side 2 - SOPO 116 B1 1A12. Øyvind Svele has a later copy of this

There is a dark green six-page fold-out lyric booklet with the Japanese

The printed inner sleeve is the same design as the UK inner sleeve, but is
square rather than shaped. It is made of thinner paper than the UK inner
sleeve, but has an additional polythene insert. The fold-over flaps are on
the outside of the rear, with a white edge, as shown below.
Desire was reissued on vinyl in Japan as CBS/Sony 24AP 289, see

"Desire" - promo and commercial vinyl albums, Discos CBS
119.525
(Argentina), 1976:

CBS 119.525
(Argentina) - front photo by Sergio Magnacca |
This release in a
unique gatefold sleeve has the Spanish words "INCLUYE TODOS LOS
TEXTOS DE LAS CANCIONES" ("Includes all lyrics of songs")
printed on the front cover at the bottom. The gatefold opens to show the lyrics to
all the songs on a white background in English (not translated). The back
cover design is unique in that it's a mixture of the "standard" rear
sleeve and the UK and Japanese inner sleeve rear in layout, with the Allen Ginsberg liner notes
translated into Spanish. The large black-and-white picture of Bob is
missing. There is also a small "disco para
demostracion/venta prohibida" ("demonstration record/sale
prohibited") sticker next to the CBS logo in the top right hand
corner. This text is also printed on the promo labels. This album is very
collectable as it was discontinued because pressing the gatefold
covers was too expensive.
Thanks to Lars M. Banke and Eduardo Gomez Kodela for the information that
the previous statement that "later Argentinean releases abandoned the
gatefold" was incorrect. In fact there was no later Argentinean vinyl
release - the local market afterwards was served with imports from the USA
and Brazil. Information
and scans from Hans Seegers, photos from Sergio Magnacca.

"Sorrisi e Canzoni TV"
magazine with Desire

The Italian magazine, which was on sale in the week before 26 Apr 2003, is still sealed, so I cannot show the CD - the
inserts appear to differ in detail from the European release shown above.
Scans required! The CD is the standard "pre-SACD" CD release. Thanks to Keith Owen for the sealed copy of the magazine
and to Hans Seegers for further information. |
