Empire Burlesque
(1985)

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 international releases of this set required.


Knocked Out Loaded
(1986)

Original US stereo 5LP boxed set, Columbia C5X 38830, 7 Nov 1985 (also available as 3 cassettes, CXT 38830). The CD edition, Columbia C3K 38830, was released in Jan 1986. This original boxed set contains a rarity, R-0748, an alternate take of Mixed Up Confusion that has now been replaced on the current CD reissue by the original single. The 1985 releases are therefore also listed in 1985. A remastered CD reissue was released with mistakes in Aug 1997 and corrected in Oct 1997. The Aug 1997 recalled edition is therefore also listed in 1997.

Thanks to Betsy for the poster scan - it has the text "C38830 (C) 1985 CBS Inc." and was given away with promotional copies of the US boxed set. Thanks also to Hans Seegers for information.

The centre picture is a 1965 photograph by Daniel Kramer.

"Biograph" - 12" boxed set edition, 5LP set - Columbia C5X 38830 (USA)/CBS 20-66509 (NL for Europe), Nov 1985; CBS 66509 (NL for Europe), late 1980s:
This release now contains a rarity, so is also included in 1985. Scans of the US release records required.


Columbia C5X 38830 (USA) - LP box front with sticker, scan by Gerd Rundel

This set was first released on 5 LPs or 3 cassettes - each LP was in a picture sleeve with song notes. As well as a full colour 12" 36-page booklet, in the cassette edition and in the slightly later CD edition the picture LP sleeves were included as a second 12" booklet (see below). The LP sleeves are all shown below for the Australian 5LP release along with all ten record labels. The 5LP and 3 cassette releases sold in the UK were sourced from Holland. The records in the Dutch 5LP set are in plain sleeves and the box includes the second 12" booklet instead. On the 12" US square box the top is hinged on the left, not separate as the European box.

Thanks to David Burgess for the scan of the original sticker advertising 53 songs on 5 albums - mine is long gone! Thanks also to Renaud Depierreux for finding the promo LP boxed set from the UK on eBay.

Thanks to David Burgess, Patrick Helfrich and Gerd Rundel for information and scans.

"Biograph" - 12" boxed set edition, 3 cassette set - Columbia CXT 38830 (USA)/CBS 40-66509 (NL for Europe), Nov 1985:


CBS 40-66509 (NL for Europe) - front of cassette boxed set (my copy)
The second cassette booklet is plain yellow on the outside front and back. The first printed page is Page 2, the front of  the sleeve for record 1.

Thanks to Magnus Peterson Olson for the scan of the sticker from the US cassette box, which is noticeably different from the US LP box sticker above.

Nol Grint has a copy of the Dutch set, bought sealed, where cassette 2 is correctly labelled but contains non-Dylan music! No other copy like this has been reported to me.

More scans of the US cassette box required.

CD Releases (Aug 1997 Recalled Edition)


"Biograph" - recalled 3CD jewel case edition, Columbia C3K 65298 (USA), Aug 1997:
This edition, which had to be recalled because of the mistakes listed in 1997, was released in the USA only, reportedly in a run of 5,000 copies. The first run of the Oct 1997 corrected edition has the same catalogue number, C3K 65298. Apparently the recalled Biograph can be identified from the corrected reissue without breaking the seal, because the grey on the cover is a true grey, whereas the corrected release has a reddish tinge to the grey. This is not true of the UK release, Columbia 488099 2 (see below), which was the corrected version from the outset, and where the grey on the cover is definitely a true grey, so I can't personally confirm this.

Biograph1.JPG (32336 bytes)
Columbia C3K 65298 (USA) - front of slipcase (my copy)
There are typos on the back of the slipcase, but they are on both this and the corrected edition below:
- Missing spaces in the descriptions of the tracks "Like a Rolling Stone," "Baby I'm In The Mood For You," "Gotta Serve Somebody," and "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" - for these tracks the description is "(release information -0/0/00)" rather than "(release information - 0/0/00)".
- "Ureleased" for "Unreleased" in the sentence "Unreleased material mixed by Thom Panunzio..."
Thanks to Sean Murdock for this information.
