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 PC 33893, 5 Jan 1976. Thanks to Charlie Pritchard for the information that the cover photo by Ken Regan 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.! The photos that make up the rear sleeve collage were taken by Ruth Bernal. 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/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 were available in 5.1 surround sound, but not this one, despite the fact it was released in a quadraphonic mix. |

 Columbia PC 33893 (USA) - front photo by Ulf Gyllenspetz (promo release with timing strip) |
The white label promo album shown has a Columbia radio station timing strip pasted on the front sleeve. The rear sleeve has a gold "DEMONSTRATION Not For Sale" stamp. Gerd Rundel's promo copy has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - AL 33893-3B, Side 2 - BL 33893-2D. The commercial copy shown has a dark blue sticker promoting three songs.

Thanks to Jon McAuliffe for information and Paul Prince for photos of the CBS Masterworks release, C 33893. Thanks to Robert Kornovich for photos of the Canadian labels. The Canadian labels are a different colour from the US labels, have slightly different text placement and state "MANUFACTURED BY COLUMBIA RECORDS OF CANADA LTD." at the bottom. Thanks to Ulf Gyllenspetz for the photographs and to Patrick Helfrich, Steven Fant, Gerd Rundel and Jeremy Mayle for the scans. |

"Desire" - 8-track stereo cartridge release, Columbia PCA 33893 (USA), Jan 1976:
 Columbia PCA 33893 (USA) - front of tape cartridge, scan by Manuel Garcia Jara |
This rare release has a changed playing
order with Joey split over two programmes of the cartridge.
Because this is a rarity, this release is also listed in
1976. The CBS UK 8-track stereo release below has the same
split, although the Italian 8-track stereo release below has a different
split. The playing order is: Program 1: Isis, Mozambique; Oh, Sister. Program 2: Romance In Durango; Black Diamond Bay; Joey (Pt. 1). Program 3: Joey (Pt. 2); One More Cup Of Coffee. Program 4: Hurricane; Sara. Thanks to Manuel Garcia Jara for information and scans. |

are no paper labels. Thanks to Gerd Rundel for information and scans. |

"Desire" - Quadraphonic vinyl release, Columbia PCQ 33893 (USA)/CBS Q 86003 (NL/Spain)/CBS SBPQ 234778 (Australia/New Zealand), Jan 1976:
|
|
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 was also reported there is an outstandingly bad trumpet track in R-0125 that was also removed from the regular stereo release - Aaron Derfel tells me that the trumpet track is in fact still in the regular stereo mix, but has been mixed down considerably. He thinks "the trumpet is terribly off-key at times, but it does have its charms".
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 sleeve "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. (Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans.)
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 sleeve 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 quadraphonic releases to list here! None of them were ever reissued as far as I know.
"Desire" - stereo vinyl LP releases, CBS 86003 (UK), 5 Jan 1976; CBS 32570 (UK), 1985; Columbia 86003 1/Simply Vinyl SVLP 350 (UK), 2000s:
|
CBS 86003 (UK) - front (my copy) |
This album has the standard US sleeve front and back, and the record has orange/yellow CBS labels. My copy has matrix numbers: Side 1: CBS S 86003 A 1 (stamped), "ALLEN" (handwritten), Side 2: CBS S 86003 B 1 (stamped). Victoria Stafford has a copy with a front sticker promoting "Hurricane" that was according to Hans Seegers only on the first 1000 copies. Although I bought my copy on the first day of release, it was only in a small town, and these probably went to big cities. The inner sleeve is made of shaped card with folded-under flaps on the inside of the rear, unlike the Japanese rear sleeve below. The front has musician credits and the rear has sleeve notes by Allen Ginsberg. Arie de Reus has a 1978 UK Tour Press Pack including a copy of the UK release of Desire. The rear sleeve has a gold CBS promo stamp. |

 CBS 86003 (Ireland) - Side 2 scan by Gerd Rundel |
Thanks to Gerd Rundel for finding an Irish release. It has the standard UK sleeve, but the records have "Made in Ireland" on the labels (as well as "MADE IN ENGLAND"!). The inner sleeve is not shaped but has a small flap at rear centre top and a small cut-out at front centre top. The record matrix numbers of the copy shown are: Side 1 - CBS S 86003 A2 (stamped), Side 2 - CBS S 86003 B3 (handwritten).
Patrick Helfrich has a probably later UK copy of CBS 86003 where "BOB
DYLAN" and the album title have a green tint. The inner sleeve is square
like the Columbia/Simply Vinyl copy below, not shaped like my 1976 copy.
 CBS 32570 (UK) - front with "Nice Price" sticker (1985 release, my copy) |
Thanks to
Manuel Garcia Jara for finding a 1985 copy on eBay with red CBS labels, this has
an unexpurgated edit of Oh, Sister on Side 1 with Emmylou
Harris saying "I f**ked up!" at the end. This also appeared on a UK cassette release, see
1985. This release was apparently quickly
withdrawn and replaced with copies with the standard edit. I've bought the copy,
which has a "Nice Price" front sticker and a "Nice Price" inner sleeve. Thanks to Keith Venturoni for the information about this vinyl
Nice Price release of Desire, from "On The Tracks", 15 Sep
2000, in the article "Foreign Editions Of Bob Dylan Albums" by Lars M.
Banke (page 40). The LP must have a hand-written matrix number of "CBS-32570-A5"
on Side 1, as mine does (see below). Keith bought a copy in the UK with
the Side 1 matrix number "CBS-32750-A" (without the "5"). This does not
have the uncut version of the track, nor to my knowledge does any other
vinyl version. |

 CBS 32570 (UK) - Side 2 (1985 release) |
The 1985 copy shown has two inserts, one reproducing the original 1976 inner sleeve and a second with song lyrics. The black insert has catalogue number "32570" but the white lyrics insert still has catalogue number "86003" (my 1976 copy of CBS 86003 does not have a lyrics insert). The record has red CBS labels and the copy shown (with the Oh Sister rarity on Side 1) has written matrix numbers: Side 1 - "CBS-32570-A5", Side 2 - "32570 B6".
Thanks also to Patrick Helfrich for scans of the Simply Vinyl 2000s reissue, which has a square inner sleeve with fold-under flaps and red Columbia labels.
"Desire" - 8-track stereo cartridge releases, CBS 42-86003 (UK), Jan 1976:
 CBS 42-86003 (UK) - front of slipcase, scan by Hans Seegers (first variant) |
This rare release has a changed playing
order with Joey split over two programmes of the cartridge.
Because this is a rarity, this release is also listed in
1976. The Columbia US 8-track release listed above
has the same split, although the Italian 8-track stereo release below has a
different split. Hans Seegers' copy has a black tape cartridge
inside a black card slipcase. The cartridge has a single fold-over paper
label. Manuel Garcia Jara's copy has a white plastic cartridge with the same single fold-over paper label and no card slipcase. Thanks to Hans Seegers and Manuel Garcia Jara for information and scans. |

Patrick Helfrich has two releases of CBS 86003 with differences as detailed. He has two copies of the first 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. Both of Patrick's copies of the first release have 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 thicker and more solid than the second release - not as thick as US covers but thicker than normal NL pressings, The "BOB DYLAN DESIRE" text on the front sleeve is printed with a green shade on one copy and in a grey/gold shade on the other. 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 star above Rams Horn Music.
Patrick's copy of the second 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 his two copies of the first release, similar to the other normal Dutch pressings of Dylan albums. The "BOB DYLAN DESIRE" text on the front sleeve is in a much lighter colour than on the covers of the two copies of the first 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, "è" at bottom.
Gerd Rundel has a copy of this album bought as part of a French set from 1978 with Blood On The Tracks and Hard Rain, see International Album Releases (Multi-Packs) 1970s. The set has an outer sleeve to hold all three albums that was printed in France, although the records themselves were made in Holland. This copy has a variant of the first release Dutch sleeve with the blue "y" in a circle in the rear top right hand corner, but with an additional "54" in a green circle next to it. This "54" and "y" is the same as the Spanish release variant below. The "BOB DYLAN DESIRE" text on the front sleeve appears to be printed in a stronger gold than Patrick's second variant, but this may just be a scanning difference. The album has second release record labels with the star above "Rams Horn Music" to the right of the centre hole. The record has matrix numbers: Side 1 - 86003 A 1 (handwritten) AL 33893-3L (stamped), Side 2 - 86003 B-6 (handwritten) BL 33893-2B (stamped).
Thanks to Paul Prince for photos of what appears to be a 1980s Dutch release of CBS 86003 on gold vinyl with plain red labels. It has the 1970s catalogue number of CBS 86003, not the 1980s/1990s catalogue number of CBS 32570 (the new numbers were introduced in 1982). Thanks to Hans Seegers for information that this is an unofficial release that was not released by CBS Holland, but may have been privately pressed.
Thanks to Patrick Helfrich for scans of the 1980s CBS release with the plain red labels and the new catalogue number CBS 32570. Matrix numbers: Side 1 - 01-86003-2A-1 (handwritten), Side 2 - 01-86003-3B1 (stamped).
The Columbia 32750 1991 release has a "Nice Price Dylan Originals 30 Years on Columbia" sticker on the front sleeve 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).
"Desire" - 8-track stereo cartridge release, CBS Sugar 42-86003 (Italy), Jan 1976:
 CBS 42-86003 (Italy) - front of 8-track tape cartridge, scan by Manuel Garcia Jara |
This release has a light brown cartridge with an orange paper label. It
has a different playing order from the US and UK 8-track stereo cartridge
releases above, and includes a rarity - an excerpt of Sara repeated on
Program 4. It is therefore also listed in 1976. The playing order is - Program 1: Hurricane; Sara. Program 2: Isis; One More Cup Of Coffee; Oh, Sister. Program 3: Joey; Mozambique; Program 4: Black Diamond Bay; Romance In Durango; Sara (frammento [excerpt]). Thanks to Manuel Garcia Jara for information and scans. |

"Deseo [Desire]" - stereo vinyl LP releases, CBS S 86003 (Spain), Jan 1976; CBS 86003 (Spain/NL), 1976; CBS S 86003 (Spain), late 1976 and 1977 (three releases); CBS 32570 (Spain), 1985, 1988; CBS/Sony 32570 (Spain), 1992:
There were nine Spanish stereo vinyl releases, three in 1976, three in 1977, plus releases in 1985, 1988 and 1992.
CBS S 86003 (Spain): First 1976 release:
 CBS S 86003 (Spain) - front with first sticker, scan by Manuel Garcia Jara (first 1976 release) |
The first release of the album was made in Spain and had a multi-coloured sticker with "NO. UNO EN USA" with the text except "USA" in white on black. This was replaced by a sticker with the text except "USA" in black on white, which is much more common. The stickers were easily peeled off, so may be missing, but there are several other distinguishing features to mark this release. On the front sleeve the CBS logo at top left can be seen to cover partly obscured text "PC 33893" and "Columbia" from the American release (this may be hard to see on the scans). The title is shown as "DESEO" on the spine. The rear sleeve has notes in Spanish and the Discos CBS address of Calle Princesa 1, Madrid-13. This was the last release by Discos CBS at that address, they moved to a new address in Avenida del Generalísimo 25, Madrid-16, in May 1976. The printer's name and address (Offset ALG, Calle San Raimundo 31, Madrid-20) is printed below the CBS address. On later releases this is printed in the photo border midway down the right hand side. There is an inner sleeve and a lyrics sheet in English (see the second 1976 release below). The record labels are orange/yellow with stereo arrows and title "DESEO". The song titles are in Spanish and English and on Side 1 the text has eight lines, while on Side 2 it has seven lines. |

The second 1976 release of this album was also made in Spain and now has the former sticker text "NO. UNO EN USA" printed on the front sleeve in black. On the rear sleeve the Discos CBS address is now Avenida del Generalísimo 25, Madrid-16. The printer's name and address (Offset ALG, Calle San Raimundo 31, Madrid-20) is now printed in the photo border midway down the right hand side. The record has the same orange/yellow CBS labels as the first 1976 release with stereo arrows and title "DESEO". The song titles are in Spanish and English and on Side 1 the text has eight lines, while on Side 2 it has seven lines. There is an inner sleeve and a lyrics sheet as shown. |

The third 1976 had records imported from Holland with orange/yellow CBS labels, title "DESIRE" and a completely different song title layout with titles in English only. The catalogue number on the record labels is "CBS 86003" rather than "CBS S 86003" as on the Spanish labels. |

The record labels say "MADE IN SPAIN" in English, but Hans Seegers assures me the record was actually manufactured in Holland for the Spanish market. The matrix numbers of the copy shown are: Side 1 - AL 33893-3A D (stamped) 2T 5055 86003 A (written), Side 2 - BL 33893-3E F (stamped) 1915 (written in mirror writing). The front sleeve was printed in Spain and still has the text "NO. UNO EN USA" printed while the rear sleeve this time has notes in English. CBS Spain changed their printer in the last months of 1976 to Indugraf, Alcorcón, Madrid, from Offset ALG. (The Spanish release of the album Hard Rain was printed by Indugraf from the first release.) There is no Discos CBS address. This release did not have the picture inner sleeve and lyrics insert.
Patrick Helfrich has a copy of this release without the "NO. UNO EN USA" overprint and "54" and "y" on the rear sleeve like the Dutch release above.

The album is titled Deseo on the record labels and the song titles are in Spanish and English (as the second 1976 release labels). It does not have the lyric sheet or the inner sleeve. |

"Desire" - stereo vinyl LP, CBS/Suzy 86003 (Yugoslavia), 1976 (released three times):
 CBS/Suzy 86003 (Yugoslavia) - front scan by Manuel Garcia Jara (first release) |
This was the first CBS Dylan album to be released in Yugoslavia, although there had been a few Dylan singles released in the country. There were three Yugoslavia releases of the album, manufactured under licence for CBS by Suzy Records of Zagreb (now Croatia). Suzy Records had previously released Planet Waves in conjunction with Asylum Records, but did not release Before The Flood in Yugoslavia, because they thought buyers would be put off by the cost of a 2LP set! Other Dylan albums were imported from Italy or Holland. The Desire records were pressed by Jugoton of Belgrade (now Serbia). The album has the regular inner sleeve, but with no lyric insert. The inner sleeve is very fragile, and poorly printed. The first release front sleeve is the same as the UK release with the exception of the Suzy logo on the front. The second and third releases have a silver star printed on the front (not a sticker) with the text "SREBRNA [SILVER]", released after the album achieved "silver" sales in Yugoslavia. The third release, which is rarest, has the same outer and inner sleeves as the second release, but different record labels as shown. |

Ronald Born has two copies of this album. The first copy is a variant of the first release. The second copy is a variant of the second release, with the silver star printed on the front sleeve, but differently placed from Manuel Garcia Jara's second and third release copies. Both records have the same Side 2 label, but the second record has a very different Side 1 label, with "STEREO" on the left instead of the right, "SIDE 1" instead of "STRANA 1"/"STRANA 2" as on the labels of the first copy, and "BOB DYLAN" above "DESIRE". (The artists' organisation "SAKOJ" (Union of Composers of Yugoslavia) became "SOKOJ" (Federation of Organisations of Composers of Yugoslavia) in 1976, so "SOKOJ" appears on these labels.) Manuel Garcia Jara's first release record has matrix numbers: Side 1 - ULS 222-1 14776 ZP, Side 2 - ULS 222-2 12776 ZP. The labels are different from Ronald's first release copy, with "SOKOJ" differently placed to the right of the centre hole. Manuel's second release copy has labels which are similar to the Side 1 label of Ronald's second release copy, the differences are shown by the detailed scans. I assume that there are second release copies in existence with a Side 2 label similar to Ronald's Side 1 label! Manuel's third release copy has similar labels to those of his second release copy, but "DESIRE" is now above "BOB DYLAN" as on the first release labels.

"Desire" - stereo vinyl LP, CBS/Sony SOPO 116 (Singapore/Malaysia), 1976:
 CBS/Sony SOPO 116 (Singapore/Malaysia) - front with sticker, scan by Arie de Reus |
This album has the first CBS/Sony Japan catalogue number, SOPO 116. The album was jointly manufactured and distributed for CBS/Sony in Singapore by EMI (Singapore) PTE. Limited and in Malaysia by EMI (Malaysia) SDN, BHD. The front sleeve of the Arie de Reus' copy has an EMI price sticker for $14.90 for West Malaysia only (that part of Malaysia on the island of Borneo). Manuel Garcia Jara thinks this copy of the album is actually from the 1980s because he has Singapore/Malaysia copies of Slow Train Coming, Saved and Shot Of Love with exactly the same West Malaysia price sticker. There is a date of "18/8/79" handwritten on the front sleeve, so the album may indeed be a reissue. The record has unique orange/black CBS/Sony labels with written matrix numbers Side 1 - SOPO 116A, Side 2 - SOPO 116B. Manuel's copy from 1976 is identical except for the sticker, and the record has the same matrix numbers. Thanks to Arie de Reus, Hans Seegers and Manuel Garcia Jara for information and scans. |

"Desire" - stereo vinyl LPs, CBS SBP 234778 (Australia), 1976, re-released late 1970s and 1982:
 CBS SBP 234778 (Australia) - front scan by Patrick Helfrich |
The Australian releases have a gatefold sleeve with the designs from the inner sleeve on the inside of the gatefold. The Australian records all have orange/yellow CBS labels. Patrick Helfrich's first release has the songs credited to "Albert" on the labels, Stuart Moore has a copy from the late 1970s with longer copyright text along the bottom edges of the labels, but the songs are still credited to "Albert". 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. |

This record must have been imported into Australia to fill a shortage in demand.

These New Zealand releases did not have a gatefold sleeve as the Australian releases did. Both sleeves were identical. The 1976 record has plain orange 1960s-style CBS labels, while the later record has orange/yellow 1970s-style CBS labels. Both releases had an insert instead of the inner sleeve, while the records themselves were in plain sleeves. Both the sleeves and the records were made in New Zealand. The album was marketed in New Zealand by Phonogram Ltd., Wellington (then part of Philips, later PolyGram and now Universal.)

 CBS 86003 (Israel) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
This album has the UK catalogue number. The record has
orange 1960s-style CBS labels. For a fake promo album with what purports to be
a unique monochrome sleeve with text in Hebrew, see
Questionable Recordings. Promo
copies issued by CBS in Israel were just the regular albums with promo
stickers as shown. For other examples of promo copies with stickers, see Bob Dylan and
Another Side Of Bob Dylan. The rear Israeli sleeve has Hebrew text
and also the address of CBS Records Limited, P.O. Box 681, Tel Aviv. Thanks to Hans Seegers, Patrick Helfrich and Manuel Garcia Jara for information and scans. The label photo found on eBay by Stuart Moore has an "ACUM" logo to the right of the CBS logo. |

This was the first US CD release of Desire. The CD has a folded front
insert with minimal information. The CD itself has the CBS logo. First

"Desire" - CD release, Columbia CK 33893 (USA for export to Japan), mid 1990s:
 Columbia CK 33893 (USA for Japan) - front with obi and sticker, scan by Wil Gielen |
Wil Gielen has an early 1990s copy of
the US release imported into Japan with an obi from the Shinseido record
store chain. The obi was added by the store to import US copies (which were
much cheaper than Japanese releases) to provide buyers with information in
Japanese. The inside of the rear insert and the CD are different from the US
copy owned by Gil Lamont. The price on the obi of ¥1,602 has Japanese
characters meaning "excluding tax", which means it was imported into Japan
after the introduction of sales tax in 1989. Thanks to Wil Gielen for information and scans. |

 Columbia CK 33893 (Canada) - front scan by Jack from Canada (first release) |
The album with the yellow artwork was the first CD release of Desire in Canada.
Like the US release, the front insert was a single folded card. This CD has
the Columbia logo. The mid-1990s release from Moise Potié has green artwork
and a stapled booklet for the front insert. The CDs differ in that the first
release has "MADE IN CANADA", while the second release has "MADE AT SMC"
(presumably Sony Music Corporation in the USA). The second release has catalogue number WCK 33893 on the spines but CK 33893 on the CD itself. Thanks to Jack from Canada and Moise Potié for information and scans. |

 Columbia UK 2000 promotional insert reverse, scan by Keith Schweiger |
This album was released on CD in Europe four times from the 1980s through to 2000. All copies were made in Austria. The first CBS release has a CD with black text only, the second renumbered CBS release has red panels. The two Columbia releases shown have the same red panel design, with only the centre markings of the CD being different. My copy of Columbia CD 32570 in the "Nice Price" series dates from 1997 as shown by the UK-specific promo insert with two 1997 releases - The Best Of Bob Dylan and Time Out Of Mind. The front insert is a 24-page stapled booklet including the lyrics of the songs. Keith Schweiger's copy has a 2000 insert showing The Best Of Bob Dylan and The Best Of Bob Dylan Vol. 2. My copy has a black CD tray, Keith Schweiger's copy has a clear CD tray and a crop of the front photo on the reverse of the rear insert. Both rear inserts are the same.
Thanks to Keith Schweiger for information and scans.
