International Albums - Index of Regular Albums

Picture from the Highway 61 Interactive CD-ROM - the Graphix Zone production team in "1960s Greenwich Village" holding all the Bob Dylan albums released before 1995 - for details of the CD-ROM see 1995

For regular mono albums, see here. Multi-packs with more than one regular album are listed here. Promo releases of regular albums are now listed on the appropriate album page. Note that some countries like the USA and UK have so many variations amongst 1960s Dylan albums that it is impossible for every combination to be listed on the mono and stereo album pages!

*I've also included the two UK Greatest Hits releases from 1967 and 1971 here because they were also released in several other countries worldwide.

**Although 2010's Bob Dylan In Concert: Brandeis University 1963 is available in mono only, it's included here because it's listed on the Albums page of bobdylan.com

. The seven-track CD Bob Dylan In Concert: Brandeis University 1963 was originally given away as a bonus disc in a card sleeve with copies of The Bootleg Series Vol. 9 - The Witmark Demos and the 9CD set The Original Mono Recordings. It was released as a regular album as a CD in a jewel case and as an 180gm mono vinyl LP in Apr 2011 and is now on the Albums page of bobdylan.com

, which means all seven tracks have now ceased to be rarities and are listed on the Released Rarities page.

The book "The Bob Dylan Album File & Complete Discography" by Brian Hinton published by Cassell in the UK in Nov 2006, contains two very flattering references to this web-site, in the introduction on page 7 and in the section on "Websites and Fanzines" on page 449.

The Essential Bob Dylan (2000) was added to the Albums page of bobdylan.com

, which meant Things Have Changed from the 2000 Wonder Boys soundtrack (formerly R-0299) ceased to be a rarity. Items containing R-0299 but no other rarities have been moved to the appropriate page of International Stereo Releases.

The Best Of Bob Dylan (released in the USA and Japan in 2005) is also now on the Albums page of bobdylan.com

. This is not the same as the 1997 European release of the same name.

The 3CD retrospective set Dylan released on 1 Oct 2007 means the original out-take of Dignity from Oh Mercy that first appeared on the 1998 Touched By An Angel soundtrack album (formerly R-0273) has also ceased to be a rarity. Items containing R-0273 but no other rarities have been moved to the appropriate page of International Stereo Releases.

All the Bootleg Series releases from 1998 or after include former rarities that were listed on this web-site (see Released Rarities). Items containing released tracks but no other rarities have been moved to the appropriate page of International Stereo Releases.

The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3 [Rare and Unreleased] 1961-1991 (1991) was released before I created this web-site in 1998, so all the previously unreleased tracks in that release were never allocated R-numbers. Although this set is numbered Vols. 1-3 the three "Volumes" have never been available as separate releases.

	All the Standard Editions of the first twelve volumes of The Bootleg Series including Nov 2015's The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 - Bob Dylan 1965-1966 The Cutting Edge were included in the 21CD boxed set The Bootleg Series Collection, released in conjunction with the Dutch newspaper "De Volkskrant" in Holland in Nov 2015.
	The Best Of The Bootleg Series was released on 2 Oct 2020 as a 28-track download only.

Further off could be a live Bootleg Series set with recordings from the Never Ending Tour, which started in 1988 and went on until interrupted in 2020. The resumed tours are called "The Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour".

Super Audio CD (SA-CD) is a high definition read-only optical disc format for audio storage, introduced in 1999. It was developed jointly by Sony and Philips Electronics, and was intended to be the successor to the Compact Disc (CD) format. The SA-CD format offers more audio channels (e.g. surround sound), a higher bit rate, and longer playing time than a conventional CD. SA-CDs are designed to be played on an SA-CD player; however, a hybrid SA-CD contains a Red Book Compact Disc Digital Audio (CDDA) layer which can be played on a standard CD player.

None of the three Dylan albums released in quadraphonic in the 1970s were released in 2003 with 5.1 surround sound. Two other albums originally listed for SA-CD releases in 2003 but not eventually released in that format were Time Out Of Mind and The Bootleg Series Vol. 4: Live 1966.

In 2011 Columbia missed out on having a 50th Anniversary Collection (also known as The Copyright Extension Collection) for 1961, which meant they had to experience the ignominy of seeing Bob's first album (which was recorded in 1961) go out of copyright and dozens of public domain versions of the album appear (see Questionable Releases of Official Dylan Albums and Singles). Since 2012 they've corrected this by releasing all the previously unreleased tracks including live recordings in 50th Anniversary Collections in very limited quantities.

Because of the large amount of 1965 material, the 50th Anniversary Collection 1965 was a 208 track download available only to the 5000 purchasers of The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 - Bob Dylan 1965-1966 The Cutting Edge Collector's Edition (which is now sold out). This would have required around 20 LPs (or 12 CDs) to add to the 18CD Collector's Edition set. In 2016 the expected 50th Anniversary Collection 1966 was in fact a massive 36CD set called The 1966 Live Recordings. All the 1966 studio recordings had been included in The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 - Bob Dylan 1965-1966 The Cutting Edge Collector's Edition. As well as the 2014 6CD set The Bootleg Series Vol. 11 - Bob Dylan And The Band: The Basement Tapes Complete, recorded throughout 1967, the album John Wesley Harding was recorded at Columbia Studios, Nashville, TN, in Oct/Nov 1967, however the expected 50th Anniversary Collection 1967 with all the recordings from those sessions was not released at the end of 2017, although some of these recordings appeared on The Bootleg Series Vol. 15 - Travelin' Thru 1967-1969. As Bob did not record anything in 1968, there was no 50th Anniversary Collection 1968. A compilation 2CD set, Bob Dylan Live 1962-1966: Rare Performances From The Copyright Collections, was released by Sony Music in Japan in July 2018, later released worldwide. The 14CD set The Rolling Thunder Revue: The 1975 Live Recordings released in June 2019 is listed on the bobdylan.com Albums Page even though it was a Limited Edition. I am choosing to consider this release a rarity until such time I hear that its status as a Limited Edition has changed and it is on permanent general sale. The 50th Anniversary Collection 1969, a very limited 2CD set, was released on 6 Dec 2019. The 50th Anniversary Collection 1970 was released on 4 Dec 2020 as a very limited 3CD set, although subsequently released on 26 Feb 2021 with new artwork as Bob Dylan 1970. There was no release in 2021 despite there being expected unreleased material from the 1971 New York sessions with Leon Russell that produced Watching The River Flow and the Happy Traum sessions that provided the Side 4 material for Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II. The 50th Anniversary Collection 1973 was released on 15 Dec 2023 as a very limited single CD.

Most regular releases with Bob Dylan are available, but they are sorted a little differently in Spotify and Tidal. In additions it’s only fair to mention “The Rolling Thunder Revue” released in summer of 2019, which also only are available as a ten-track sampler.

In Spotify the releases are sorted into “albums”, “singles and EPs”, and “compilation albums” + an “artist playlists” listed as a separate category. Other albums that have a Bob Dylan-track are not available in Spotify, and one can only wonder why. “Sadly the 30^th Anniversary Concert Celebration Deluxe Edition (nor its original from 1993) isn’t available in Spotify, as it was a semi-official Dylan-release – or, at least, it’s on the album page on bobdylan.com (they both are). One release which is NOT on Spotify is Biograph, a fact that to me is quite astonishing. This album is sort of “mother” to all later box-sets dealing with the past of an artist – and in many’s opinion both the prequel and starting point for all the later released The Bootleg Series installments. It’s available, though, as an user-created playlist (by Brett Landis, to be precise).

In Tidal the categories are these: “albums”, “compilation albums”, “live albums” [or, directly translated “concert albums”], “singles and EPs”, “playlists”, and “Videos”. The 30^th Anniversary Concert Celebration Deluxe Edition release from 2014 are listed under “participates on”, with a number of other Dylan-related releases (such as soundtracks, tribute albums, and other, mostly non-related Dylan, albums (which seem to be streaming releases only). One thing I noticed is that Dylan (from 1973) is listed under “compilations” , and that the 2007 Dylan compilation is not listed at all (same goes for Spotify, by the way). And, oddly, Biograph is listed under “live albums” – not under “compilations”, which one would’ve expected.

In iTunes – which is another matter (together with Google Play) – The Bootleg Series Vol. 14 - More Blood, More Tracks, The Bootleg Series Vol. 15 - Travelin' Thru 1967-1969 and The Rolling Thunder Revue: The 1975 Live Recordings are available in complete editions. The only release not available is the box-set with the 1966 tour, The 1966 Live Recordings. The career spanning multi-disc set The Complete Album Collection Vol. 1 is not available for download in iTunes, but the Japanese “decades” parts are (the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s/00s sets are sold separately , as well as albums individually within the decades’ sets). The latter set, “90s/00s”, is not available as a whole, here the albums are sold separately within the set. MTV Unplugged is the US-version, and Tell Tale Signs from 2008 is the 28 track standard version (the double disc set + one track only available as download) – and not the 39 track Deluxe Edition [and with the Bonus Track a total of 40 tracks].

This page is an index to the pages on this site that give details of all international commercially-released regular stereo Bob Dylan albums released in the USA and available commercially today, as listed on the Albums page of bobdylan.com

. If you click on the album picture at the top of each page you'll be taken to the appropriate page on bobdylan.com to see track list information, etc. US Greatest Hits albums are now reached from this page also, non-US Greatest Hits compilations are listed on the International Albums (Greatest Hits) page. Multi-packs with more than one regular album are listed here. Mono albums are listed here.

These albums 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 details of all international releases in all formats are not included on any other Internet site. I know from correspondence that many younger Dylan fans have never seen the original albums and their artwork, which is obviously much more impressive at the 12" size than when reduced to a 5" CD booklet (which often has minimal artwork anyway). Maybe these pages will spur people to seek out the original albums! Also, remember the guiding principle of Dylan collecting– every copy of a Dylan album is different in some way from every other copy! This means that it is impossible to list every single variant of every release. Also, unless an album was purchased new from a record shop or from its original purchaser, there is no guarantee it is now in its original sleeve or inner sleeve – dealers “mix and match” to pair up a good quality record with a good quality sleeve, and they don’t have the specialist artist knowledge needed to know when this is wrong. Several examples of this have been sent to me, not listed on the 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!

Columbia CQ 32872 (USA) - front scan by Olav Langum	Just three Dylan albums were released in quadraphonic sound: Nashville Skyline and Planet Waves in 1974, and Desire in 1976. At the time there were three incompatible audio systems for quadraphonic sound, a confusion which probably led to the format's demise - Columbia releases used the Sony SQ system, Asylum releases used the Quadradisc system. The two 1974 quadraphonic albums were also released as 8-track tape cartridges, as far as I know in the USA only.

Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab UDSACD 2122 (USA) - front of card sleeve, scan by André Wilbers (new to SA-CD)	These are all limited edition releases in enhanced stereo of 3000 copies only. In Oct 2016 there was a simultaneous release on hybrid SA-CD and vinyl from the US audiophile company Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab of seven Dylan mono albums excluding Blonde On Blonde. There were no Columbia SA-CD releases of mono albums. For these Mobile Fidelity mono SA-CD releases, see International Mono Releases.
