Bob Dylan At Budokan (1978)
|
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.

If you have any entries to add to the list or additions/corrections to
existing entries, please let me know!

Original US stereo LP, Columbia FC 36120, 20 Aug 1979
This album was produced by Jerry Wexler and Barry Beckett and recorded at
Muscle Shoals Studio, Sheffield, AL. Thanks to Steven Fant for the photo from
Jul 2009. The building is now called Cypress Moon Studios. Saved (1980)
was also recorded here.The front train/workman design is from a woodcut by
Catherine Kanner. The rear sleeve photograph is by Nick Saxton and the
inner sleeve photograph by Morgan Renard.
This title is 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). Slow Train Coming is also
available on the SA-CD in 5.1 surround sound!

"Slow Train Coming" - stereo vinyl LP releases, CBS 86095 (France), 6 Sep 1979
onwards:

CBS 86095 (France) - front scan by Hans Seegers (first release) |
There were three releases of the French album. The first
release was made in France and was in fact the last Bob Dylan album to be
manufactured in France. The first release has "Made in France" on the rear sleeve. The rear
sleeve of the second and third releases is identical apart from the text now
reading "Printed in Holland", because the second and third releases were manufactured in
Holland and imported to France. The second release has a front sticker in
English promoting Gotta Serve Somebody and Man Gave Names To All The
Animals. The third release had a front sticker in English promoting the
track now called just "Animals" (Man Gave Names To All The Animals). For
7" versions of the French "Animals" single with Trouble
In Mind (R-0149) as the B-side, see 1979.
For a 1979 French "Special Club" promo 12" single of
"Animals", see International Singles
1979

"Slow Train Coming" - advance promo stereo vinyl LP, CBS S 86095 (Spain), 1979:

CBS S 86095 (Spain) - front scan by Manuel Garcia Jara (advance promo copy -
generic sleeve with information label over cut-out) |
This extremely rare advance promo release comes in a generic
CBS Spain promotional sleeve with an information label on the front describing the album.
The sleeve has a rear cut-out to show a record label, but in this case the
record is in the standard inner sleeve, so the label cannot be seen (see below). Only 25-30 copies of
this release were made, distributed to CBS commercial agents throughout
Spain. The sleeve just has "CBS - DISCO PROMOCIONAL [CBS - PROMOTIONAL
RECORD]" on the spine and the printer name on the back (Offset ALG, Madrid,
as previous releases and the commercial copies of this album). The front label reads "Adelanto Promocional. Nuevo disco de Bob
Dylan Slow Train Coming. Incluye el single El hombre puso nombre a los
animales [Promotional advance. New record of Bob Dylan: Slow Train Coming.
Includes the single: Man Gave Names To All The Animals]". The record
has white "1970s-style" CBS promo labels, different from Jordi Badell's later promo copy,
see below. (These labels are actually the
design that replaced the design used for the labels of Jordi's copy.) On Side 2 track 3 is wrongly titled as "When You Gonna Wake Me
Up", this was corrected on the later promo and commercial labels.
The record has matrix numbers: Side 1 - 86095 A, Side 2 - 86095 B.
Thanks to Manuel Garcia Jara for information and scans. |

"Slow Train Coming" - promo and commercial stereo vinyl LP
releases, CBS S 86095 (Spain), 6 Sep 1979:

CBS S 86095 (Spain) - front scan by Manuel Garcia Jara (both variants) |
This release came with two sleeve variants - the first was withdrawn and is
very rare. As can be seen, the rear photo is incorrectly cropped so that
Bob's silhouette is much larger and the top of the ship's mast is missing. Both copies have the same card
inner sleeve and record, as well as a promo insert with the song lyrics in
English and a CBS Spain Dylan discography. The record has orange/yellow CBS labels. Both
sleeve and record were made in Spain. The
sleeve was printed in Spain by Offset ALG of Madrid, and the Discos CBS
address shown is
Avenida del Generalísimo 25, Madrid-16.
Jordi Badell has a later promo copy of this album than the one above in a
standard sleeve with white "1960s-style" CBS record labels
(actually
an earlier design than the labels above) and a
promo booklet in Spanish. The record labels have the text "DISCO PROMOCIONAL
PROHIBIDA SU VENTA [PROMOTIONAL RECORD SALE PROHIBITED]".

1979, reissued 1982:

CBS/Sony 25 AP 1610 (Singapore/Malaysia) - front scan by Hans Seegers
(1979 release) |
This release has the Japanese CBS/Sony catalogue number 25AP 1610 and was manufactured for CBS/Sony jointly in
Singapore by EMI (Singapore) PTE. and in Malaysia by EMI (Malaysia) SDN. BHD.
The names of both companies appear on the rear sleeve. The record has the same inner sleeve as the UK release, with red CBS/Sony
labels with CBS/Sony logos
in yellow in a ring. There is a mistake on Side 2 - Do Right To Me Baby (Do
Unto Others) is track 1 and Gonna Change My Way Of Thinking is track 2. Both the
rear sleeve and the Side 2 record label have the regular tracklist. |

CBS/Sony 25 AP 1610 (Singapore/Malaysia) - front with stickers, scan by
Manuel Garcia Jara (1982 release) |
Manuel Garcia Jara has a copy with a US promotional
sticker on the front sleeve together with an EMI price sticker for $14.90
for West Malaysia only (that part of Malaysia on the island of Borneo). Manuel thinks this copy is actually
from 1982 because he has Singapore/Malaysia copies of Desire, Saved and Shot Of Love
with exactly the same West Malaysia price sticker. This copy has the same
mistake on Side 2 with tracks 1 and 2 reversed, but the record label has the
actual tracklist and there is also a sticker on the rear sleeve with the actual
tracklist. The 1982 record labels
differ from those of the 1979 release in that the copy shown has "MADE IN
MALAYSIA" added to the circumference text. Are there copies with "MADE IN
SINGAPORE" on the record labels as with Blood On The Tracks?
The record of the 1982 copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - 25AP-1610A, Side 2
-
25AP-1610B.

has red/yellow Columbia labels (so it may be a reissue) with the song
titles in Spanish and English and matrix numbers Side 1 - AL 36120, Side 2-

CBS 14-1304 (Colombia) - Side 1 |

CBS 14-1304 (Colombia) - Side 2 |
This rare album has a standard sleeve (untranslated album
title) but no front logo. There is also no inner sleeve - the record is
housed in a clear plastic bag. The record itself has orange/yellow CBS
labels with the song titles in English and Spanish. As with many other South
American releases, the Spanish translated song titles differ from those of
other Spanish-speaking countries, such as those from Argentina above.
The
record has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - "CCL 14-1304 A
5-11-79", Side 2 - "CCL 14-1304 B 5-11-79". As an American date
of "May 11, 1979" would be before the US release, I assume this is "5 Nov
1979".

The first CD release of the album in the USA came in the
"long box" shown. These releases were on sale in the USA and Canada until replaced by the hybrid SA-CD

mid-1980s; CBS CDCBS 32524 (Europe), late 1980s; Columbia COL CD 32524 (Austria
for Europe),
1990s:
CBS CDCBS 32524 is from the end of the 1980s and the CD was made in
Austria. It is silver with red panels and black text.
The 1990s release Columbia COL CD 32524 has a stapled multi-page booklet as the front
insert. The picture in the centre of the booklet is the same as the one from
the inner sleeve of the LP. The difference in the colour of the sky in the two
reproductions of the rear LP sleeve picture are very noticeable - the
sky on the rear insert is tinted pink, while the picture on the back of the
folded front insert is tinted blue. Keith Schweiger has a copy of Columbia
COL CD 32524 with a red CD tray and a "Nice Price" front sticker. The insert
booklet has a "Nice Price" promotional catalogue stapled in the centre,
which my copy doesn't have. The CD is the same as mine.

This CD-R for radio play only comes in a clear plastic wallet with a
single-sided paper insert
dated what looks like "6/18/2003". I assume because it was sent to radio stations
the CD-R has only the CD layer of the hybrid SA-CD release below. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and
