Original US stereo LP, Columbia JC 35453 (USA), 15 Jun 1978 The front photograph by Howard Alk shows Bob in a doorway in Santa Monica, CA. "Street-legal" is an American term for a hot rod car that has been modified to allow it to be driven on public roads. It has been suggested that the term refers to Bob's newly-divorced single status, but he's clearly wearing a wedding ring in the picture! The rear photo is also by Howard Alk, taken live on stage during the Far East tour in early 1978. The two photographs on the inner sleeve were taken by Joel Bernstein in a night club in Melbourne, Australia, on the same tour - the man with Bob on the inner sleeve back is singer and guitarist George Benson. |

Specific differences from the current remastered CD are: R-0284 Señor (Tales Of Yankee Power) - this track fades into True Love Tends To Forget, on the 1999 version they're separated. Also, Keith Venturoni points out that the mandolin is much more prominent on this original mix. Changing Of The Guards at 6:36 is 30 seconds shorter than the 1999 7:06 version, but this original version can still be found on CD on 1994's Greatest Hits Vol. 3, and even on the 2007 3CD set Dylan, so it's not a rarity. In a bizarre twist, the version of Street-Legal in the 2012 47CD boxed set The Complete Album Collection Vol. One is a remastered version of this original 1978 album, so Changing Of The Guards reverts to a shorter length of 6:41, instead of the extended version at 7:06 from the 1999 remixed release. It does however, have a final drum beat that was missing from the 6:36 1978 version! |

A remastered version of Street-Legal is included on the 47CD Sony Music/Columbia/Legacy boxed set The Complete Album Collection Vol. One, Nov 2013, see International Album Releases (Multi-Packs) 2010s. Thanks to Éamonn Ó Catháin for pointing out this is a remastered version of the original 1978 album, so for example Changing Of The Guards reverts to a shorter length of 6:41, instead of the extended version at 7:06 from the 1999 remixed release. It does however, have a final drum beat that is missing from the 1978 version, which was timed at 6:36. Señor (Tales Of Yankee Power) again fades into True Love Tends To Forget, on the 1999 version they're separated, and the prominent mandolin from the original mix has been restored. This means there are now two significantly different versions of the album on sale! If this 2013 release becomes the standard CD version on sale, then the original vinyl, tape and CD releases will cease to be rarities!
Thanks to Hans Seegers, Franck Faugere, Keith Schweiger and Manuel García Jara for the scans.
