Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. 3 (1994) |
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 Columbia multi-packs, see International Album Releases (Regular) - Multi-Packs. |

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!

As well as the extra track, this release also had the clapping loop on Knockin' On Heaven's Door on its first release. The release with the clapping loop and its replacement were both SRCS 7616 - the faulty CD has matrix number DP-7482 1 (on the clear centre of the CD), the corrected CD has matrix number DP-7552 1. Promo and commercial copies of the faulty CD are shown. The promo copy has a pink numbered sticker on the rear insert and the text "SAMPLE" in the clear centre of the CD. The faulty CDs have a purple Sony logo, while the corrected CD has a blue Sony logo (much harder to see in the scan). All copies of this album had a grey, white, black and red obi with the price ¥2,300 (¥2,233 plus sales tax) and release date "95-5-11" (11 May 1995). The withdrawal date was 10 May 1997. The front is a 12-page folded insert in English and there is also a 4-page folded inset in English and Japanese.
Thanks to Hans Seegers and Wil Gielen for information and scans.
