Oh Mercy
(1989)

This page is part of a new section 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 not in the yearly Promo sections.

This page is incomplete - more entries required. For releases of this album in CBS/Columbia multi-packs, see International Album Releases (Regular) - Multi-Packs.


The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3

If you have any entries to add to the list or additions/corrections to existing entries, please let me know! Please note I cannot value your Dylan rarities - see the Mission page for reasons why. Contact the dealers on my Trading page for assistance!

US release, Columbia 46794 (LP), CT 46794 (MC), CK 46794 (CD), 11 Sep 1990

The album dedication to "Gabby Goo Goo" is now thought to be to Desiree Gabrielle Dennis-Dylan, Bob's daughter by Carolyn Dennis, born on 31 Jan 1986. At the time it was thought the front photograph was taken in Israel, but it was actually in the Mojave Desert in California. The rear photograph shows Bob on a front porch somewhere in the USA, with a US flag in one of the flower urns. Both photographs are copyrighted by Bob himself, but credited to Camouflage Photo, which doesn't actually exist!
