This page includes all stereo releases of the 1971 2LP set released in the UK and elsewhere with a different tracklist from the US 1971 Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II 2LP set (see International Albums (Regular). It has been separated from the Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II and International Album Releases (Dylan-only Compilations) 1970s pages because of the large number of releases.
If you have any entries to add to the list or additions/corrections to

"Greatest Hits Vol. 2" - stereo vinyl LP (1?), CBS 64618 (UK), 1971(?):
 CBS 1971 inner sleeve rear detail (my copy) |
This album is advertised on the inner sleeve for CBS 67239 below. It has
an earlier catalogue number than the More Greatest Hits album, but
must date from 1971 because it includes Watching The River Flow, released
in June 1971.
Bizarrely, CBS 62847 is shown as Greatest Hits Vol. 1, a title which
has never been used. More information required - this could just be a mistake! Thanks to Paul Shenton for pointing this out and also for noticing that Epic 64619 is Rough And Ready by The Jeff Beck Group, released 25 Oct 1971, before More Bob Dylan Greatest Hits in Nov 1971. |
 CBS 1971 inner sleeve rear detail (my copy) |
"More Bob Dylan Greatest Hits" - stereo vinyl 2LP sets, CBS S 67239 (UK),
17 Nov
1971, re-released 1970s, 1980s:
Like the first UK Greatest Hits (see
1967), this album had a different tracklist
from the US version Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II (Columbia KG 31120,
17 Nov 1971) - Positively 4th Street replaced She Belongs To Me as the first
track on disc 2 (Positively 4th Street was missing from the 1967 UK Bob Dylan's
Greatest Hits, where She Belongs To Me replaced it.) On Side 4, It's All
Over Now, Baby Blue, which had also appeared on the 1967 UK Greatest Hits
album as one of the two extra tracks, was replaced as track 2 by New Morning.
This was the first time Positively 4th Street had appeared on a UK album.
CBS S 67239 (UK), 1971 releases (2 variants):
 CBS S 67239 (UK) - front of gatefold sleeve with price sticker, picture by Éamonn Ó Catháin |
The 1971 records have individual catalogue numbers S 64768 and S 64769 and my copies are contained in the inner sleeves shown, with the theme "The Greatest Hits are on CBS", showing all the Greatest Hits albums currently on the label. Intriguingly, the reverse of the 1971 inner sleeve shows two Greatest Hits albums by Bob - the first (CBS 62847) is the expected album, but the second has an otherwise unexplained catalogue number (CBS 64618) - see above. The inner sleeve shows the then CBS postal address of CBS Records, 28/30 Theobalds Road, London WC1. There is a single pocket on the right hand side of the inner gatefold sleeve to hold both records, opening at the centre. The sleeve was made by the Shorewood Packaging Co. Ltd. The matrix numbers of the records of my copy are: Side 1 - S 64768 A1 S 67239 A (stamped), Side 2 - S 64768 B1 S 67239 B (stamped), Side 3 - S 64769 A1 S 67239 C (stamped), Side 4 - S 64769 B1 S 67239 D (stamped). |

 CBS 67239 (UK) - detail of Side 4 (Record 2, Side 2), scan by Manuel García Jara (alternate 1971 release "B. Feldman"/"Big Ben Music"/"Kinney Music") |
CBS S 67239 (UK) - detail of rear of gatefold sleeve (both 1971 releases)
Manuel García Jara has a copy in the same sleeve but with significantly different record labels (except Side 2). The major differences are shown in the detail scans above:
Side 1 - Catalogue number just "67239" instead of "S 67239", song titles on six text lines instead of five, song credits: 1, 3 - "B. Feldman & Co", 2 - "Kinney Music", 4 - "Big Ben Music" (mine are: 1, 3, 4 - "B. Feldman & Co", 2 - "Kinney Music")
Side 2 - identical with my Side 2 label - catalogue number "S 67239"!
Side 3 - Catalogue number just "67239" instead of "S 67239", "Side 3" instead of "Side 1", song credits on four lines instead of five
Side 4 - Catalogue number just "67239" instead of "S 67239", "Side 4" instead of "Side 2", song credits: 1, 4, 5 - "B. Feldman & Co", 2, 6, 7 - "Big Ben Music", 3 - "Kinney Music" - (mine are: 1, 2, 4-7 - "B. Feldman & Co", 3 - "Kinney Music")
The matrix numbers of Manuel's copy are: Side 1 - S 64768 A1 S 67239 A (stamped on two lines), Side 2 - S 64768-B2 S 67239 B2 (stamped on two lines), Side 3 - S 64769 A1 S 67239 C (stamped on two lines), Side 4 - S 64769-B2 S 67239-D (stamped on two lines).
CBS S 67239 (UK), early 1970s release:
|
CBS S 67239 (UK) - front of gatefold sleeve, scan by Lars M. Banke (early 1970s release) |
Lars M. Banke has an early 1970s copy (which Manuel García Jara dates as after 1973) that has a normal gatefold sleeve with outside open edges, so the two records go in each side, different from mine where they both go in the same pocket. |

The front sleeve also has a black logo, like the mid-1970s copy below, but without the "CB|252" and "64" in a circle on the rear sleeve at top right and "LC|0149" at bottom right. This sleeve was also made by the Shorewood Packaging Co. Ltd. The records have plain orange CBS labels of a different design with "RECORD 1 OF SET" or "RECORD 2 OF SET" on each label, missing from my copy.
CBS S 67239 (UK), mid-1970s releases (three variants):
First variant:
 CBS S 67239 (UK) - Side 1 photocopy by Paul Shenton (Record 1, Side 1, first mid 1970s release) |
Simon Blokker has a copy in the early 1970s sleeve above where the two records have completely different labels. Record 1 has plain orange CBS labels as shown above, Record 2 has orange/yellow CBS record labels introduced in the UK with The Basement Tapes in 1975. These are in a style not shown elsewhere on the page, with "Record 2 of set" to the left of the centre hole, just like the early 1970s plain orange Side 2 label. Quite by chance, Paul Shenton has a copy where the record labels are reversed - Record 1 has orange/yellow labels in this style with "Record 1 of set" and Record 2 has plain orange CBS labels as shown above. The orange/yellow label style is almost certainly the first mid-1970s release, because it is so similar to the last plain orange design, and also because it occurs in sets where one record has the early 1970s plain orange design labels, and the other record has orange/yellow labels of this design. |

Second variant:
 CBS S 67239 (UK) - front of gatefold sleeve, scan by Manuel García Jara (second mid-1970s release) |
This 2LP set was re-released in the mid-1970s, again with orange/yellow CBS labels. The outside of the gatefold sleeve has several differences from the 1971 release, notably the front logo in black instead of white. The inside of the sleeve is the same as before. The sleeve was printed by the Shorewood Packaging Company, Ltd. There were two variants. |

 CBS S 67239 (UK) - Side 4 scan by Manuel García Jara (second mid-1970s release) |
|
The rear of the gatefold sleeve of the second mid-1970s release has only the printer's information, not the codes at top right and bottom right present on the rear sleeve of the third mid-1970s release. The orange/yellow CBS record labels of the second mid-1970s release are quite different from the labels of the first mid-1970s release above and the third mid-1970s release below. The records of the copy shown have matrix numbers: Side 1 - S 64768 A1 S 67239 A (stamped), Side 2 - CBS S 67239 B4 64769-B (handwritten with a mistake: a "8" is printed over the last "9"), Side 3 - CBS-S 67239 C-3 64768 BA (handwritten, this time a "9" is printed over the last "8"; the "B" of "BA" is crossed), Side 4 - S 64769 B-2 S 67239 D-2. The matrix numbers could be so complicated because they belong to an album with side A paired with side D, and side B with C. (Manuel García Jara has a second copy of this first mid-1970s release where the record sides are so arranged.)
Third variant:
|
|
The rear sleeve of the third mid-1970s copy has "CB|252" and "64" in a circle on the rear sleeve at top right and "LC|0149" at bottom right, missing from the rear sleeve of the second copy shown. The orange/yellow CBS labels of the second mid-1970s release are quite different from the labels of the first and second mid-1970s releases above: "Record 1 (or 2) of 2 Record Set" text is present above the album title, missing from the first design; the text elements to the left and right of the centre hole are differently arranged; and the tracklisting and music publisher credits are also differently laid out. The records of the copy shown have handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - CBS S 64768-A-2 67239-A-2, Side 2 - 64768-B-5 CBS 67239-B-5, Side 3 - CBS S 67239-C-3 64769-A, Side 4 - CBS S 64769-B-3 67239-D-3. | |||

This late 1970s copy has a sleeve that is the same as Manuel's third mid 1970s release. The labels still have "MADE IN ENGLAND" at the bottom, but there are several differences from the labels of the second mid 1970s release:
The records of this copy have handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - CBS-S-64768-A-2, 67239-A-2, Side 2 - 64768-B-5, CBS-S-67239-B-5, Side 3 - CBS-S-64769-A-4, 67239-C-4, Side 4 - CBS-S-64769-B-3, 67239-D-3. |

The CBS logo on the front of the sleeve is again in black whereas it was white on the 1971 release. The copy shown is a demo, with a gold demo stamp on the rear of the gatefold sleeve. The handwritten record matrix numbers of this set are the same as Manuel García Jara's copy above: Side 1 - CBS.S.64768.A-2 67239.A.2, Side 2 - CBS.S.64768.B-5 67239.B.5, Side 3 - CBS.S.64769.A-4 67239.C.4, Side 4 - CBS.S.64769.B-3 67239.D.3. The records are in plain white inner sleeves.
Paul Shenton's two copies shown both came in gatefold sleeves with the CBS front logo in black, and with both "CB|252" in a lozenge and "64" in a circle on the rear. The records both have orange/yellow labels with the "LC|0149" capsule on the top line of text to the right of the centre hole and "MADE IN ENGLAND" now in the circumference text on the right. The first labels have no text at the bottom. The records of the first set have handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - CBS.64768 A5 67239.A5, Side 2 - CBS.64768 B6 67239, Side 3 - CBS.64769 C3 67239, Side 4 - CBS.64769 D3 67239. The second labels have CBS copyright info at the bottom. The records of the second set have handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - CBS.S.64768.A-2 67239.A-2, Side 2 - CBS 64768 B5 67239, Side 3 - CBS.64769 C3 67239, Side 4 - CBS.64769 D3 67239.
CBS S 67239 (UK), mid/late 1980s releases:
 CBS S 67239 (UK) - Side 1 of library copy in inner sleeve, scan by Manuel García Jara (mid-1980s release) |
The set was reissued in the mid-1980s with the same sleeve as the mid-1970s release with the black CBS logo and catalogue number at front top left. This time the records have red CBS labels and are in plain white inner sleeves. The copy shown belonged to Essex County Library in South East England and has clear plastic pockets stuck to the inner sleeves, which also have library stamps. These pockets contain a blue library lending card with a reference number . Sides 1 and 2 also have white library stickers with the same reference number (now crossed out), although Sides 3 and 4 do not. |

"More Bob Dylan Greatest Hits" - 8-track stereo cartridge release, CBS 42-67239 (UK), 1970s:
 CBS 42-67239 (UK) - slipcase front scan by Manuel García Jara |
This rare 8-track stereo tape cartridge release has had the tracks completely reordered to make the four playing programmes of equal length, see below. The photo on the front of the slipcase is the regular Bangladesh 1971 shot from the LP release, but the photo on the front of the tape cartridge itself is from the Isle of Wight in 1969. The cartridge is white with a single wrap-around paper label. |

Stuart Moore's early 1970s UK Double Play cassette release has an incorrect tracklisting on the insert, where tracks 8 and 9 on Side 1 are listed as She Belongs To Me and It's All Over Now, Baby Blue (as on the US release). The tracks are listed correctly on the cassette label, where tracks 8 and 9 are shown as Positively 4th Street and New Morning. "Tomorrow" is misspelled as "Tommorrow" on the insert but again is correct on the Side 2 cassette label. Tom Willems' later copy has the errors on the outside of the insert corrected and different copyright information on the inside. Both Stuart and Tom's cassettes are the same, light grey with orange paper labels. Henry V. Bell's copy of the first More Bob Dylan Greatest Hits cassette comes in a card slipcase (a "DAYPAK" from the E. J .Day group) rather like the 8-track cartridges tape release. The Side 1 track mistakes on the insert are also on the rear of the slipcase. The cassette and insert are as shown. |

Manuel García Jara's later Double Play cassette release is dated "1979" on the cassette itself and has a shorter insert, again without mistakes. The cassette is light grey with black text printed directly on to it, there are no paper labels. Paul Shenton has two copies with exactly the same insert but with completely different grey cassettes without the track listing and without the "1979" date. The first cassette has blue text printed directly on to it, the second cassette has the same text in black, there are again no paper labels. I date these two variants as late 1970s, but earlier than 1979.

The early 1990s Columbia UK release is the cassette equivalent of the CD release Columbia 4678651 2, see below. However, unlike that release, this does have the UK tracklist! The cassette is again grey without the tracklisting and text printed directly on to it.

Thanks to Éamonn Ó Catháin for scans of the 1980s Irish release - the sleeve is the same as the UK release (with a black front CBS logo) but the records themselves were made in Ireland and have orange/yellow CBS labels. They have both "Record mfd. in Ireland" and "MADE IN ENGLAND" on the labels. Thanks to Gerd Rundel for finding a copy on eBay with variant labels that just have "Made In Ireland" and to Lars M. Banke for scans. |

"More Bob Dylan Greatest Hits" - stereo 2LP set, CBS S 67239
(NL), 1971, re-released mid-1970s, 1987; Columbia 467851 1 (NL), 1990s:
Holland of course had its own three Greatest Hits
albums from the 1960s (see International Mono Releases - Dylan-Only
Compilations 1960s).
CBS S 67239 (NL), 1971, re-released mid-1970s:
 CBS S 67239 (NL) - front (title in blue circle), scan by Rene Jørgensen (1970s releases) |
This Dutch album is a release of the 1971 UK More Bob Dylan Greatest Hits album with the same catalogue number (see above). On the front sleeve the title "MORE BOB DYLAN GREATEST HITS" is still in white, but in a different type face, and enclosed in a blue circle with a dark blue border. Although it looks like a sticker, it's actually part of the graphics. On the UK sleeve the title is superimposed directly over the picture. Unlike the 1970s UK set, which had an inside pocket to hold both records, this release has two openings on the outside edges of the gatefold sleeve for the records, so one goes in each side of the sleeve. |

There is text "2xT" on the rear sleeve at top right. Although all the song titles are the same colour on the rear sleeve (unlike on the rear sleeve of my 1987 copy), New Morning on the inner sleeve is definitely whiter and there are clear traces of obliterated text to the right of it. On the inside sleeve of Simon Blokker's 1971 copy there is a red circle to the left of I Shall Be Released, not present on Rene's copy - this may just be a printing error. The 1971 records have orange CBS labels. Sergio Mariano Romay has a copy with records with the same orange record labels as Manuel's - the records are in the German inner sleeves shown with "Super Star-Serie" on the sleeve for Record 1 (including a picture of this album), and "Gold-Serie" on the sleeve for Record 2. These records come in a later sleeve, see below.
The mid-1970s records have orange/yellow CBS labels and the records of the copy shown have stamped matrix numbers: Side 1: S67239-A-3, Side 2: S67239-B, Side 3: S67239-C, Side 4: S67239-D.
 CBS S 67239 (NL) - detail of rear, scan by Simon Blokker (first late 1970s/early 1980s release - no "64") |
Simon Blokker has two mid-1970s/early 1980s copies. The records of both have orange/yellow CBS labels, but the sleeves have interesting differences. |

The first copy has "2xT" on the rear sleeve at top right in white lettering in a black capsule and a green circle underneath without a number. At rear bottom right right there is a green capsule, but "LC|0149" is missing. On the inner sleeve Positively 4th Street and New Morning are noticeably whiter than the other song titles. The record of this copy has all handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - S67239-A-3, Side 2 - S67239-B, Side 3 - S67239-C, Side 4 - S67239-D.
The second copy has "2xT" on the rear sleeve at top right in white lettering in a black capsule and "64" in a green circle underneath. At rear bottom right right "LC|0149" is in a green capsule. The song titles on the sleeve are all of the same whiteness. The records have orange/yellow CBS labels and this copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - S67239-1A-1 (handwritten), Side 2 - 01-67239-2B-1 (stamped), Side 3 - S67239-C (handwritten), Side 4 - S67239-D (handwritten). The matrix numbers for Record 2 are the same as those of the previous copy.
CBS S 67239 (NL), 1987:
| The 1987 front picture is a lighter blue than the UK release. It now has "CB|252" on the rear sleeve at top right in white lettering in a black capsule (which looks like a sticker, but which is overprinted) and "64" in a white circle underneath. At rear bottom right "LC|0149" is in a white capsule. The records of my copy are in plain white paper sleeves with red CBS labels with matrix numbers: Side 1 - "NL" (stamped) "R" (handwritten) "01-67239-2A-1" (stamped), Side 2 - "01-67239-2B-1" (stamped), Side 3 - "01-67239-C" (handwritten), Side 4 - "01-67239-D" (handwritten). On the tracklisting on the rear sleeve, the two tracks which are exclusive to the UK release, Positively 4th St. and New Morning, are whiter than the other listed tracks (difficult to see on the scan). This is not true of the 1971 UK release, and implies the artwork for this release was sourced from the USA and modified. |

Sergio Mariano Romay's copy with records with orange CBS labels as above comes in exactly the same sleeve as my 1987 copy! This must be a dealer error - mismatching records and sleeve.

 Columbia 467851 1 (NL) - front scan by Lars M. Banke (1990s release) |
The 1990s Columbia release now has a new catalogue number. There is no logo on the front sleeve at top left. There is now a barcode on the rear sleeve as well as new bottom text. On the tracklisting on the rear sleeve, the two tracks which are exclusive to the UK release, Positively 4th St. and New Morning, are now the same colour as the other listed tracks. The records now have red Columbia labels. The records of the copy shown have matrix numbers: Side 1 - 01-67239 3A1 (stamped), Side 2 - 01-67239 20 3B1 (stamped), Side 3 - 01 S 67239 C (handwritten), Side 4 - 01-67239 2D1 (stamped). |

(Italy) - detail of rear, scan by Manuel García Jara (second release, no printer name on right)
Like the Dutch releases above, on the tracklisting on the rear sleeve, the two tracks which are exclusive to the UK release, Positively 4th St. and New Morning, are whiter than the other listed tracks. Both the sleeve and records were made in Italy by CBS Sugar. The first release has "LITOURIC MILANO" at bottom right on the rear sleeve. The first release records have orange CBS labels with "MADE IN ITALY" at the bottom. There are "SIAE" copyright stamps on Sides 1 and 3.
The second release sleeve no longer has "LITOURIC MILANO" at bottom right on the rear, but has "Reparto Tipolicografico CBS-SUGAR" printed in the inner sleeve at bottom right. The second release records again have orange CBS labels and date from around 1973 as they have a CBS Sugar printed inner sleeve dated 1973 showing contemporary artists including Simon & Garfunkel. They have orange CBS labels with "MADE IN ITALY BY CBS SUGAR S.p.A." in the circumference text on the right.
All the records shown have stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - S-CI-64768-1L 4/1/72, Side 2 - S-CI-64768-2L 4/1/72, Side 3 - S-CI-64769-1L 4/1/72, Side 4 - S-CI-64769-2L 4/1/72. All the sides are therefore dated 4 Jan 1972.

Michel Pomarede's copy has a distinct pink tinge to the sleeve! This copy comes with the second release orange CBS labels above, but the printer name on the rear sleeve is blacked out as below. |

CBS Sugar S 67239
(Italy) - detail of rear, scan by Lars M. Banke (mid-1970s release - printer name on right
blacked out)
This album was re-released in the late 1970s with a sleev that now has the printer name at rear bottom right blacked out. Both sets of records shown have orange/yellow CBS record labels and the same matrix numbers as above.
The mid-1970s labels have "MADE IN ITALY BY CBS SUGAR" at the bottom. The late 1970s labels just have "MADE IN ITALY BY CBS" but the text is aligned as if "SUGAR" should still be present. This set can be dated as after 1976 because the original Desire labels in 1976 had "CBS SUGAR" but the original Street-Legal labels from 1978 had "CBS" only.
Thanks to Manuel García Jara, Michel Pomarede, Peter Oudejans and Lars M. Banke for information and scans.

"More Bob Dylan Greatest Hits" - stereo 2LP sets, CBS 67239 (Portugal), mid-1970s; CBS S 67239 (Portugal), early 1980s, re-released late 1980s:
Portuguese records were rarely reissued, but this is one of a few exceptions as there were three releases. These Portuguese 2LP sets have the UK title and tracklist and are actually versions of the Dutch mid-1970s release above with the same front sleeve with the title in a blue circle. The records were made in Portugal and the mid-1970s and early 1980s releases have orange/yellow CBS labels. The late 1980s release has red CBS labels.
CBS 67239 (mid-1970s):
 CBS 67239 (Portugal) - front scan by Manuel García Jara (mid-1970s release) |
This release is the first pressing of this album in Portugal. This 2LP set with gatefold sleeve was made by Rádio Triunfo, LDA while the sleeve was printed by LitoArte Oliv. Douro. The outer sleeve has the CBS logo on the front with the reference "67239", not "S 67239" as later, although the spine still has "S 67239". The rear of the outer sleeve has the tracklist with Positively 4th Street and New Morning in whiter text than the rest of the song titles as on the Dutch and Italian release above. The information about the manufacturer and printer at the bottom of the rear of the gatefold sleeve is in black text, hardly visible, instead of white text as in the later releases. The spine text is printed higher than on the later releases. |

The records have orange/yellow CBS labels with a completely different design from those of the early 1980s release. Thanks to Sergio Mariano Romay for notifying me that copies exist with "BOB BYLAN" on Sides 3 and 4. "Witmark" is also incorrectly shown as "Witmarck" on Side 3. The "BYLAN" mistake was quickly corrected but the "Witmarck" mistake remained! Both variants have the correct song title "Positively 4th Street" on the Side 3 record label instead of "Positibely 4th Street" in the two 1980s releases. The records of the corrected 1970s copy shown have matrix numbers: Side 1 - S-67239-A (handwritten) HXP (stamped), Side 2 - OI-67239-B (stamped) HXP (stamped), Side 3 - S-67239-C (handwritten) HXP (stamped), Side 4 - OI-67239-D (stamped) HXP (stamped).

This 2LP set with gatefold sleeve was also made by Rádio Triunfo, LDA for CBS Records, but printed this time by SeriCrom, LDA. The record labels are completely different, with the song titles continuous instead of one per line. Although "Witmark" is now correct, there are two new misprints: on the Side 1 label ...Memphis Blues Again... is listed as "...MEMPHIS BLUE AGAIN...", and on the Side 3 record label Positively 4th Street is listed as "POSITIBELY 4TH STREET" (Easy mistake to make, "B" is of course next to "V" on a typewriter or keyboard, but it still should have been spotted). |

This album was re-released in the late 1980s with records with red CBS labels! This is the third Portuguese release of this album, very unusual for a Portuguese record. The sleeve is virtually identical to that of the mid 1980s release, except for a slight detail: note "061" in a black circle instead of "051" in a green circle on the rear sleeve. Again this was made by Rádio Triunfo LDA. and printed by SeriCrom, LDA. The records have red CBS labels and "Positively 4th Street" is again misprinted as "Positibely 4th Street". The records of the copy shown have matrix numbers: Side 1 - OI-67239-IA-1 (stamped) HP-PORTUGAL (stamped), Side 2 - OI-67239-IB-1 (stamped) HP-PORTUGAL (stamped), Side 3 - S-67239-C (handwritten) HP-PORTUGAL (stamped), Side 4 - OI-67239-ID-1 (stamped) HP-PORTUGAL (stamped). |

This is the Greek release of this album. This compilation with the US tracklist was released only in two European countries: Spain and Greece, while in the rest of Europe it was released with the UK tracklist: UK, Ireland, Holland, Italy and Portugal (all listed above). However, this Greek release surprisingly has the UK catalogue number! It's included here for completion, but full details are on the US album page. Thanks to Manuel García Jara for information and scans. |
"More Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II" - stereo vinyl release, Sprint Records 67239 (Turkey), late 1970s:
 Sprint Records 67239 (Turkey) - front scan by Michel Pomarede |
From the late 1980s to the mid-1990s a lot of Dylan records were officially released in Turkey in tape format. But only three Dylan vinyl LP records were genuine: Planet Waves, Before The Flood (both made by Melodi Plak for Warner Bros under licence from Warner Bros Germany) and Desire, made by Plaksan for CBS. Some other records were released in Turkey in the late 1970s but they are not official releases: Slow Train Coming made by Max, and More Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits as a single album, made by Sprint (an Italian company with branches in Turkey and Spain, specialising in Italian artists, and in legal but not official records of international artists). |

"More Bob Dylan Greatest Hits" - 2CD remastered reissues, CBS CSCBS 67239 (Austria for Europe), late 1980s; Columbia 467851 2 (Austria for Europe), 1997:
 CBS CDCBS 67239 (Europe) - front of booklet, scan by Peter Coulthard (1980s release, Dutch design, double width jewel case) |
Repeating the previous mistake, the
UK/European remastered CD releases of More Greatest Hits again have
the UK title but the US tracklist, so that She Belongs To Me and It's All Over
Now, Baby Blue appear on each of the current CD versions of the
first two UK Greatest Hits albums, while Positively 4th Street and New
Morning are missing, now available in the UK only on Biograph and the
New Morning album respectively. The Columbia cassette equivalent,
467851 4, listed above, has the UK tracklist! The "Dutch design" has the album title in a circle, the "UK design" does not. |

"More Bob Dylan Greatest Hits" - 2CD set, Columbia CDANIC 061 (South Africa), 1991:
 Columbia CDANIC 061 (South Africa) - front insert scan by Keith Schweiger |
Due to what I can only suppose is a mistake by Columbia, this South
African 2CD release of More Greatest Hits in a double width 2CD jewel
case has the UK title, the Dutch front design (see above), but the US
tracklist. This release was manufactured and distributed in South Africa by
the Gallo Record Company. Full details of this release are therefore in International Album Releases for Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II. Thanks to Keith Schweiger for information and scans. |
