This page is part of a list of original releases by release date of international commercially-released multi-packs of regular stereo Dylan albums. These are listed here to save multiple entries on each album page. 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.
These pages are still incomplete - 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!

"Original Album Classics: Bob Dylan" - 3CD set in slipcase, Columbia/Legacy/Sony Music 88697742502 (Austria for Europe), 26 Jul 2010:
![]() Columbia/Legacy/Sony Music 88697742502 (Austria for Europe) - front of slipcase (my copy) |
This new set consists of three not as yet remastered albums: Empire
Burlesque (1985), Down In The Groove (1988) and Under The Red
Sky (1990). As the price per set is only £8.99 it's very unlikely these
have been remastered now. Other artists in this series include Miles Davis,
Charlie Mingus, Patti Smith and Jeff Buckley. The three albums are in card
sleeves inside a CD-width slipcase. The individual albums are numbered
88697742502CD1, 88697742502CD2 and 88697742502CD3. The picture on the front of the slipcase comes from 1986's Hard To Handle video of Bob live with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, see VHS & DVDs 1980s. Thanks to Steven Jump of Badlands for the information. |
