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. For releases of this album in Columbia multi-packs, see International Album Releases (Regular) - Multi-Packs. Two out-takes have been officially released: The Bootleg Series Vol. 8 - Tell Tale Signs (2008): Ain't Talkin' (alternate take); Someday Baby (alternate take) |

 Roll And Tumble Blues - Hambone Willie Newbern, credited to "Newbern" (Okeh, USA, 1929), picture found by Jean-Pol Hiernaux |
 Rollin' And Tumblin' - Baby Face Leroy, credited to "Muddy Waters" (Parkway, USA, 1950), picture found by Jean-Pol Hiernaux |
 Rollin' And Tumblin' - Muddy Waters, credited to "Muddy Waters" (Aristocrat, USA, 1950), picture found by Jean-Pol Hiernaux |

 Someday Baby Blues - Sleepy John Estes, credited to "Nixon-Estes" (Decca, USA, 1935), picture found by Jean-Pol Hiernaux |
It's worth mentioning that three songs are not actually Dylan originals, his copyright credits are claimed probably for revised lyrics/new arrangements. Rolling and Tumblin' was first recorded as "Roll And Tumble Blues" by Hambone Willie Newbern in 1929 and also as Rollin' And Tumblin' by McKinley Morganfield (Muddy Waters) in 1950. The Levee's Gonna Break was recorded in 1929 as "When The Levee Breaks" by Kansas Joe and Memphis Minnie, while Someday Baby was recorded in 1935 as "Someday Baby Blues" by Sleepy John Estes and also as "Worried Life Blues" by Big Maceo Merriweather. Thanks to Graeme Jennings and Jean-Pol Hiernaux for information.

"Modern Times" - promo cassette, Sony Music Japan (no catalogue number), 30 Aug 2006:
 Photo by Hervé from France |
This extremely unexpected item is a promo cassette from Sony
Music Japan International Inc. It's dated "2006/8/30". Michio Kinoshita
assures me that cassettes are still used for promotional purposes in Japan,
although I previously thought they'd been obsolete there for a couple of
decades! Thanks to Hervé from France for information and photo. |

Columbia 82876 87606 2 (USA) - front picture from Sony Music Store web-site |
This CD comes in a standard jewel case with a clear plastic
tray. The front insert is a single folded card. The band picture is
different from the one on the 2LP set, see above. The CD is copyrighted
2005, but the artwork is copyrighted 2006. The 2005 date may be a mistake. Servi Stevens has a copy of the US release without the FBI Anti-Piracy logo on the rear insert and CD - scans required. Thanks to Jack from Canada for scans of the Canadian release. The front of the US release has a slight coloured tint to the photo, whereas the Canadian photo is true black and white. The rear of the Canadian release is missing the US FBI Anti-Piracy logo. Detailed differences on the CD itself are shown on the right. Thanks to Tim Dunn and Stuart Sonshine for information about this album and to David Plentus, Jean-Pol Hiernaux and Hans Seegers for scans. |

Jean-Pol Hiernaux has a copy of the album purchased at "Best Buy" in the USA, where a 100-page booklet is being given away with the album (not the same as the PDF booklet with The Bob Dylan Collection from iTunes, see Online Performances (Other) ). The Best Buy booklet is CD-sized and includes the 50 official albums presented in reverse chronological order, with two pages per album showing the cover and tracklist. This copy also has an insert advertising Bob's "Theme Time" XM radio show, see 2006. Pachi Becerril has a promo copy with a sticker with text "FOR PROMOTIONAL USE ONLY NOT FOR SALE" on the front. Stuart Sonshine informs me this "Best Buy" release has the catalogue number 82876 89494 2 on the front sticker while the CD itself has the regular catalogue number 82876 87606 2. Moise Potie's copy again has the regular catalogue number on the CD but 82876 87686 2 on the spines (same as the Taiwanese Limited Edition 2CD release below).
Thanks to Jean-Pol Hiernaux for finding the Sony/BMG Taiwanese Standard Edition Edition on eil.com. Thanks to Ronald Born for the scan of the European promo CD, which has no catalogue number or custom sleeve. It has the text "for promotional use only" on the CD itself. Thanks to Hervé from France for the photos of the Israeli promo, which has a Hebrew language sticker on the rear of the jewel case with the name of Helicon Records.
