	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. Mick Robinson has just started his "Bob Dylan UK Vinyl Discography" web-site, to be found here . Mick intends to provide a lot more detail about UK vinyl releases than this site does.			Mono Albums	Multi-packs

The Essential Bob Dylan (2000) has been added to the albums page of bobdylan.com

, which means Things Have Changed from the 2000 Wonder Boys soundtrack (formerly R-0299) has 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.

The 2CD retrospective set The Bootleg Series Vol. 8 - Tell Tale Signs: Rare & Unreleased 1989-2006 released on 7 Oct 2008 includes six former rarities (see Released Rarities). Items containing these but no other rarities have been moved to the appropriate page of International Stereo Releases.

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 bobdylan.com Albums page

. If you click on the album cover 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!

Re US and Canadian mono and stereo vinyl releases, Robert Kornovich says "I was recently looking through my collection of Dylan records from the 1960s, specifically US and Canadian pressings, and noticed that the front cover slicks are exactly the same for the stereo and mono pressings. It appears that when pasting on a stereo cover slick, they made sure that the stereo markings at the very top are visible on the front by wrapping the excess at the bottom of the slick around to the back of the cover. For the mono album they pasted the slick so that the very top with the stereo markings wraps around to the other side of the cover and is eventually covered up when the back slick is pasted on.

I had a few mono copies of Freewheelin' and Highway 61 Revisited that are in rather poor shape, so I peeled the slicks off of the back to confirm that the stereo markings are there, wrapped around to the other side. Some of my better mono copies have the stereo markings slightly visible through the back slick. This appears to be the case for all albums prior to Blonde On Blonde, and was no longer the case for any pressings done after the early 1970s."

Thanks to Hans Seegers for all the exclusive CBS Japanese releases, etc.! Hans reminds collectors that the obi is an essential part of a Japanese rarity, especially since they are easy to lose. It is therefore best not to buy a Japanese item that is without its obi, unless you are desperate for the material, or the price is very low. Thanks to Sheiji Murata for details of the date codes used on Japanese CD releases from 1984 up to Aug 1991. The code is in the form "Y-MM-DD", where "Y" is a letter from the name "NIHON RECORD KYOUKAI" (Japan Records Association). The sequence is N-I-H-O-(N)-R-E-C-(O)-(R)-D: "N"=1984, "I"=1985, "H"=1986, "O"=1987, "R"=1988, "E"=1989, "C"=1990, "D"=1991 (up to Aug). Therefore on Before The Flood the code "H-11-1" means "1 Nov 1986", on Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, ""O-8-26" means 28 Aug 1987, on Highway 61 Revisited "C-6-1" means 1 Jun 1990, etc.

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!
