This cassette has a different running order from the LP version (side 1, side 3, side 2, side 4) and three tracks missing (Ballad Of A Thin Man, One More Cup Of Coffee and Forever Young), even though the track listing and running order are listed on the insert as being exactly the same as the double LP. The running times of all the tracks as stated on the cassette cover are also different from the current CD, up to a difference of 40 seconds with The Times They Are A-Changin' - thanks to Ole Lien for information.

R-0163 Go 'Way Little Boy - Bob plays rhythm guitar on Lone Justice's version of one of his unreleased compositions (an out-take from Empire Burlesque,)
The lyrics have disappeared from bobdylan.com!

This track is only available in its original form as a bonus track on the B-side of the UK and Australian 12" singles (but not the American Geffen 12" single as confirmed by an owner). The second song on the B-side is Pass It On. However, Tim Dunn gives the catalogue number as GEFA 12-6426 and the second song on the B-side as Don't Toss Us Away - perhaps these are the details of a different US release?

R-0164 We Are the World (Michael Jackson-Lionel Ritchie) - Bob contributes vocals to charity single (6:22)
The B-side is Grace, an instrumental by Quincy Jones, who produced the single. For Q - The Musical Biography - a Quincy Jones 4CD US Rhino boxed set including this single, see 2001. R-0164 was also released as the B-side of a charity single by Voices Of America called Hands Across America, see 1986.

R-0632 We Are the World (Michael Jackson-Lionel Ritchie) - extended album version of R-0164 (7:02)
Ronald Born tells me this version starts with a fade-in, omitting the glockenspiel intro, and then fades out at the end. We Are The World is timed at 7:02 on this album and plays at 7:02.

The Japanese LP shown is a promo, with a "Sample" sticker on the rear sleeve and Japanese characters indicting a promo on the record labels. It has a blue/black/white obi with price ¥2,800. The date on the rear sleeve is "I-5-3" (3 May 1985). For an explanation of Japanese year code letters from 1985 to 1991 see International Albums (Regular). There is a four-page insert in English and Japanese and the record is in a clear plastic inner sleeve.

This test pressing is extremely rare and has a unique cover, as well as a white stock label with stamped catalogue number. The promo and commercial releases have orange CBS/Sony labels - the promo release is distinguished by the three Japanese characters in a box above the CBS/Sony logo on the right of the centre hole (as on the left on test pressing label).

R-0168-2 When The Night Comes Falling From the Sky - second edited version (4:18)

This rare promo single has white CBS labels and is blank on the B-side (several Spanish 7" promos are like this). It came with a compliments slip from Discos CBS S.A., Madrid.

R-0629 When The Night Comes Falling From the Sky - third edited version (4:18)
This is the same length but a completely different edit to R-0168 - see above. Here the song has the same intro as the LP version, not the "disco mix" intro, and has been cut down to the verses 1, 2, 3, 4, 9 and 10 (verses 2 and 3 replace 5 and 6). This alternate mix is unique to the UK and is very rare.

This was quickly replaced by:

R-0168-3 When The Night Comes Falling From the Sky - second edited version (also 4:18)
This is the same edit that was released in all the other countries listed on this page.

These two singles are physically identical - the only distinguishing feature is the matrix number on the vinyl itself: the single with R-0629 has matrix number A 6469-A1, the single with R-0168  has matrix number A 6469-A2!

Information and scans from Hans Seegers.

R-0168-4 When The Night Comes Falling From the Sky - second edited version (4:18)

The UK and Dutch singles have the same front sleeve but different rear sleeves. Also, the Dutch sleeve opens at the side, the UK sleeve opens at the top. Note the Dutch single has "new style" red labels, but the UK (above), Australian and New Zealand singles have the older style orange/yellow labels. Magne Karlstad has two mislabelled copies of CBS A 6469 - the first plays R-0168 on the A-side but has the A-side label for CBS A 6549, The Prophet by Dutch group The Prophet. The B-side label is correct. The second single has the correct label on the A-side, but the B-side label is again for CBS A 6549, Lorelei by The Prophet. It plays Dark Eyes correctly.

The Australian single came as a white label promo, and also a promo release with the commercial labels and a red promo stamp on the B-side. Three copies of the New Zealand single are shown - copy 1 has a "demonstration only" sticker on the A-side, copy 2 has the sticker on the B-side, and copy 3 is the commercial release without stickers. The Australian and New Zealand releases had no picture sleeves.

The 12" UK single with the same cover, CBS TA 6469, has the full album version of the song, along with Dark Eyes on the B-side, see US & International 7" & 12" Singles & EPs 1984-86.

R-0748 Mixed Up Confusion - edited alternate stereo take of 1962 single A-side (2:22)

This is an edited version of R-0145, the alternate take as on the Japanese promo LP Mr. D's Collection # 1 (see 1974), the Japanese promo EP Mr. D's Collection  #2 (see 1976),  and the 1978 Australian set Masterpieces (see 1978), not the original single R-0007 (see 1962). This take doesn't have a harmonica solo immediately after Bob's introduction "I've got mixed up confusion, Man, it's a-killin' me!". This edited version was reported to me as speed-corrected over the previous releases, but I'm now told it still runs slightly slow and the shorter time is the result of a shorter fade-out at the end of the track. This take is 2:22 as opposed to 2:30 for R-0145 - thanks to Jean-Pol Hiernaux and Larry Crum for pointing this out. (The original single is 2:28.) R-0145 is specifically labelled as mono on the Japanese release of Masterpieces, but as stereo on the Australian release.

For details of the four released alternate takes of this song, see 1962. Many thanks to Les Kokay for all his information about these alternate takes, and for permission to reproduce his findings.

Hans Seegers has a Japanese 5LP promo release of Biograph: the records have red labels with promo stamps, and stamped matrix numbers: Records 1-3: OOAP-3136/37/38A1/B2, Record 4: OOAP-3139A2/B3, Record 5: OOAP-3140A1/B1. The box has a "Sample not for sale" sticker on the back cover, a black, blue, white and yellow obi, and two books (scans required).

Hans also has an original Japanese CD release, CBS/Sony 00DP 401-3 (date?) - this is a triple CD set in a slipcase with a book. It has a black/multicoloured obi (scans required).

Thanks to Patrick Helfrich and Anton Sylvain for other scans.
