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 2LP set: CBS/Sony 40AP 1100/01 (Japan), 21 Aug 1978/Columbia PC2-36067
(USA), Apr 1979.
This live album, recorded at the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo, Japan, on 28 Feb 1978
and 1 Mar 1978, was intended to be a Japan-only release but so many copies were being
imported by Dylan fans elsewhere that it was given a worldwide release.
The sleeve and booklet photographs are by Joel Bernstein and Hirosuke Katsuyama.
Thanks to Hans Seegers and Wil Gielen for information and scans.
Vinyl and Tape Releases
"Bob Dylan At Budokan" - 2LP promo/commercial releases, CBS/Sony 40AP 1100/01 (Japan), 21 Aug 1978:
 CBS/Sony 40AP 1100/01 (Japan) - front with obi, picture from eil.com |
The album was released in Japan in Aug 1978, and in Australia/New Zealand later in 1978, but not until Apr 1979 in the rest of the world. Hans Seegers informs me there was a counterfeit release available in Italy soon after the Japanese release, distinguishable only by the catalogue number. As well as the regular booklet and poster (see below for the UK release), the promo release has a three page promo insert. There is a magnificent gold, red, white and black obi, which has Bob's then album catalogue on the reverse. The records have red labels with promo stamps, and stamped matrix numbers: 40AP-1100/01A1/B1. Patrick Helfrich has a commercial release with regular CBS/Sony labels. Thanks to Hans Seegers and Patrick Helfrich for information and scans. |

"Bob Dylan At Budokan" - 2LP promo and commercial sets, Columbia PC2 36067 (USA/Canada), Apr 1979:
 Columbia PC2 36067 (USA) - promo release, front with timing strip, scan by Stuart Moore |
The US promo album
has Columbia USA white promo labels, gatefold picture sleeve with a front timing strip
sticker, inner sleeves with lyrics and the giant fold-out poster shown
below. Patrick Helfrich's copy of the Canadian release was imported to Europe and every instant of the "Columbia" on the gatefold sleeve has been covered by a black sticker (even on the spine), while the labels have been pasted over with stickers also omitting the Columbia name (one sticker has been removed showing the regular Columbia Canada label). The inner sleeves with lyrics are the same as the US promo version. Renaud Deperrieux has a promo copy with “Demonstration – Not For Sale” stamp, white labels and poster but without the timing strips. Thanks to Stuart Moore, Patrick Helfrich and Steven Fant for information and scans. |

 CBS 96004 (UK) - Side 3 scan by Patrick Helfrich (variant 2) |
This album has sumptuous packaging for a UK release, with a black/white 16-page booklet with sleeve notes in Japanese (untranslated) and lyrics in English and Japanese. I've not been successful in finding an English translation on the Internet. The booklet was reprinted for the UK and has the UK catalogue number CBS 96004. There is also a large fold-out poster, which again has CBS 96004 in the bottom right hand corner.
The records have orange/yellow CBS labels and two serial
numbers - on the left is "96004" (both records) and on the right
is "S CBS 83691 (40AP 1100 A/B)" (Record 1) or "S CBS 83692
(40AP 1101 A/B)" (Record 2). The
matrix numbers are:
Side 1 - 96004-A3, S-CBS-83691-A3, BOB (all written)
Side 2 - CBS-S-96004-B4, 83691-B4 (both written)
Side 3 - CBS-S-83692-A6, 96004-C6 (both written)
Side 4 - 96004-D3, CBS-S-83692-B3 (both written)
The album's inner cover has the text (left): "The more I think about it, the more I realise what I left behind in Japan - my soul, my music and that sweet girl in the geisha house - I wonder does she remember me? If the people of Japan wish to know about me, they can hear this record - also they can hear my heart still beating in Kyoto at the Zen Rock Garden. Someday I will be back to reclaim it."
Patrick Helfrich's copy has the same cover as mine but a different label design with the text elements to the left and right of the centre hole arranged differently.

original release records have orange/yellow CBS labels and both the Dutch catalogue number
CBS 96004 and the Japanese catalogue numbers 40-AP1100/1101 below in smaller
text . The matrix numbers are:
Side 1 - 01-96004-2 A2
Side 2 - 01-96004-3B-1
Side 3 - 01-96004-3C-1

sleeves, presumably all made in Australia. The Australian release has a front sticker with "Recorded Live in

poster, this time with the Australian/New Zealand catalogue number. The records

The 1993 Sony set comes in a slimline 2CD jewel case with a black, white and red obi in the "Nice Price Line 31" series with white text and price ¥3,000. The obi has the date "93-9-22" (22 Sep 1993) and shows the original release date as "78-11-21" (21 Nov 1978), which doesn't tally with other information giving the date as 21 Aug 1978. The obi also has the date of "95-9-21" which was the date the release would be withdrawn. There is a 44-page stapled booklet in English and Japanese. The CDs are white with silver text (almost unscannable).

These reissue sets were manufactured in Austria for distribution Europe-wide. The CBS release comes in a double-width 2CD jewel case with a 36-page booklet with song lyrics and album photos. The 1991 Columbia release still comes in a double-width 2CD jewel case with the CBS front insert, but apart from the rear insert the artwork and CDs are as my 1996 copy shown. The 1996 Columbia release comes in a single-width jewel case with a clear 2CD tray and a "Nice Price" sticker. The front insert is the 36-page booklet. The 1996 rear insert is double-sided with an inside picture. For some reason Columbia France had a different CD pressing with an error: "Love Minus Zero/No Limit" is wrongly titled "Medley: No Limit/Love Minus Zero"!
Thanks to Bill Hester for the scan of the Australian release of Columbia CDCBS 96004. The CD itself was manufactured in Australia, but the artwork is from the European release and was printed in Holland.
