Down In The Groove
(1988)

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.


Oh Mercy
(1989)

Revised 01 January, 2012.


Original US stereo album, Columbia OC 45056 (LP), OCT 45056 (MC), CK 45056 (CD), 9 Feb 1989 (bobdylan.com lists it incorrectly as 18 Jan 1988)

This release was much delayed, the concerts with The Grateful Dead took place in Jul 1987. A version with a very different track selection circulates amongst Dylan fans, supposedly compiled by Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead. Bob is reported to have selected tracks that had not had live versions released before over tracks with musical merit!

Bob Dylan/The Grateful Dead - "Dylan & The Dead" - promo and commercial CD releases, CBS/Sony 25DP 5402 (Japan), 1 Mar 1989:


CBS/Sony 25DP 5402 (Japan) - front with original obi, scan by Wil Gielen

This promo CD has a black, red and white obi with yellow, white and black text. The release date is shown as "E-3-1" (1 Mar 1989) - see International Album Releases (Regular Albums) for information on Japanese alphabetic year codes. The original obi has the price ¥2,500 without sales tax. The replacement obi shows two prices: ¥2,280 without sales tax and ¥2,348 including sales tax (sales tax was introduced in Japan in mid-1989). Copies of CBS/Sony 25DP5402 with the ¥2,500 obi are therefore much rarer. This was the last Japanese Dylan album to be released in the "25DP" series because the catalogue numbering system was changed after the introduction of sales tax, while at the same time regular CD prices were reduced from ¥2,500 to ¥2,348 to stimulate sales.

The copy shown is a promo, with a promo panel on the rear insert and Japanese characters indicating a promo on the clear centre of the CD. The front insert was a 32-page stapled booklet in English and Japanese.

Thanks to Hans Seegers for initial information and to Wil Gielen for further information and scans.
