Slow Train Coming

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 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! |

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.

More details of these albums required. CBS 138.152 has written matrix numbers AL-36120-/36120-B and the standard US inner sleeve and is rubber stamped "AMOSTRA INVENDAVEL". CBS 138718, which is a later release (the Brazilian Saved in 1980 was CBS 138.192), has written matrix numbers 138.718 A/B A/BL-36120 and has a CBS promo stamp "AMOSTRA INVENDAVEL".

"Slow Train Coming" - stereo vinyl album, CBS 14-1304 (Colombia), 5 Nov 1979:
 CBS 14-1304 (Colombia) - front (my copy) |
|
|
|
|
|
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".

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.

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.
