This page is part of a list of original releases by release date of international commercially-released regular stereo Dylan albums. 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. Promo releases of regular albums are now listed here and no longer in the former yearly Promo sections. For releases of this album in CBS/Columbia multi-packs, see International Album Releases (Regular) - Multi-Packs. |

Columbia FC 39944 (USA) - no artist name above the album title |
Original US stereo LP release, Columbia FC 39944, 30 Nov 1984 This album was recorded live with a band including Mick Taylor and guest Carlos Santana at St James Park, Newcastle, England, 5 Jul 1984, Wembley Stadium, London, 7 Jul 1984, and Slane Castle, Dublin, Ireland, 8 Jul 1984. The performance pictures were taken by Guido Harari at the Arena di Verona, Verona, Italy, on 28 and 29 May 1984. You can see the arches of the Arena on the right of the rear sleeve. The picture on the rear of the inner sleeve, again by Guido Harari, was taken at the press conference at the Villa Cortine, Sirmione, Italy, also on 29 May 1984. The picture on the bottom left of the rear inner sleeve should be of Carlos Santana, but it's actually of Alphonse Johnson, Santana's bass player. (Thanks to Rod MacBeath for information.) This album is notable for the performance of Tangled Up In Blue with completely different lyrics from the 1974 versions. |
International LP and CD fronts with "Bob Dylan" over the album title |
 US CD front - note the "Compact Disc" logo |
Out-take from The Bootleg Series Vol. 16 - Springtime In New York 1980-1985, 2021: Enough Is Enough (Live from Slane Castle, Ireland, 8 Jul 1984).

"Real Live" - promo and commercial stereo vinyl LP releases, Columbia FC 39944 (USA), 30 Nov 1984:
|
Columbia FC 39944 (USA) - front scan by David Plentus (without "Bob Dylan") |
The front and rear of the sleeve and the front of the inner sleeve are essentially the same as my UK copy shown below, apart from the fact that "Bob Dylan" is omitted over the album title on some copies. The inner sleeve flaps of Dave Plentus' copy are folded under so the rear of the inner sleeve has no black lines at the edges. |

|
 Columbia FC 39944 (USA) - Side 2 scan by David Plentus |
Gerd Rundel has a copy whose front sleeve has an advertising sticker from Columbia promoting the live tracks and guest artists plus a record store sticker with price $8.33. This copy has "Bob Dylan" above the album title. Stuart Moore's promo copy has a gold stamp on the rear sleeve. The record has red Columbia labels with the yellow Columbia logo in a ring round the outside. Simon Blokker has a US promo copy of 'Real Live' (FC 39944) with 'Bob Dylan' in white over the title on the front sleeve (unlike Dave Plentus' commercial release). The right hand corner of the rear sleeve has a promo stamp that's different from the one shown by the scan from Stuart Moore. Above the "FOR PROMOTION ONLY" stamp there's another stamp that looks as if it shows "0000". The rear sleeve is the same as the US commercial release. The inner sleeve is not folded-over, but pasted on two sides. The record has red Columbia labels with the yellow Columbia logos in a ring round the outside, printed in the U.S.A., as shown. The record of this copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - P (A) PAL 39944 1K (handwritten) plus "TML-M" stamped in very small text on the opposite side of the vinyl, Side 2 - P (handwritten) TML-S (stamped) PBL 39944 1C (handwritten). The "TML-S" is again stamped in very small text, but is now not on the opposite side of the Side 2 vinyl but between the "P" and the "PBL ......".
The record of Gerd Rundel's copy has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - PAL 39944 1J, Side 2 - PBL 39944 1N. Like Gerd Rundel's copy, Sergio Mariano Romay from Argentina has a copy of Columbia FC 39944 which has "Bob Dylan" over the album title like the Canadian and other worldwide releases below. The record of Sergio's copy has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - PAL 39944-1M and Side 2 - PBL 39944-1K.
"Real Live" - stereo vinyl LP release, Columbia 19075846961 (USA), 2019:
 Columbia 19075846961 (USA) - front scan by Gerd Rundel |
This is
the US counterpart of the 2019 Europe LP release below. The US release
has the same catalogue number "19075846961" and looks very similar to
the European release. There are three notable differences: missing Sony Music logo at top left of the rear; different copyright text on the rear; different copyright text at the bottom of the record labels. The sleeve also contains a voucher to download the album (not shown). |

 Columbia FC 39944 (Canada) - front scan by Gerd Rundel |
The sleeve and record of this release were made in Canada. The front sleeve has "Bob Dylan" over the album title, omitted on US sleeves. Although the Canadian releases of Slow Train Coming, Saved and Infidels had barcodes, this later release does not have a barcode on the rear sleeve at top right (the US release does). The inner sleeve flaps are folded under so the rear of the inner sleeve has no black lines at the edges. Like the US copies above, the copy shown has a gold promo stamp on the rear sleeve. |

The copy signed by Bob in silver pen is from Fraser's Autograph's (no connection!). The front of the picture inner sleeve has flaps folded-over the rear, so that there is a black edge on both sides of the rear of the inner sleeve. The record itself was made in England and my copy has orange/yellow CBS labels with "MADE IN ENGLAND" in the circumference text, CBS copyright info at the bottom of the labels, and the "LC|0149" capsule at high top right. My record has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - CBS 26334 A2, Side 2 - CBS 26334 B2. |

Real Live was probably the last Dylan album to be released in Italy. The only other Italian albums released after 1984 that have been found so far were records with red CBS labels like Blood On The Tracks in the "Il Rock" series or Bob Dylan At Budokan, which is again possibly part of another series.
The record comes in the standard sleeve. The inner sleeve looks to have the same front and rear as the Dutch sleeve, with a black folded-over flap on the rear (the UK front). The record of the copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - C1 26334-1L-27-11-84, Side 2 - C1 26334-2L-27-11-84 (27 Nov 1984 is presumably the mastering date).

I have details of two 1980s US CD releases. They
both appear to have the same front insert, which is a single sheet folded
into four. The first CD has "DIDP
50196" to the right of the centre hole. ("DIDP" means "Digital ID
Popular", Columbia classical CDs have "DIDC".)
The rear insert of the second release has a similar design to the first but
with a different barcode
at bottom left. The CD now has "DIDP 050196" to
the right of the centre hole plus the inverted triangle symbol first added to
CDs and Side 1 of LPs and cassettes with Biograph in 1985.
Jack from Canada's copy has a 1984 rear insert but the 1985 CD!

 CBS CDCBS 26334 (Europe) - front of jewel case, scan by Hervé from France (both releases) |
The CD of the first European CBS release was made in Japan before CBS opened a European pressing plant in Austria. It has the Dutch "BIEM/STEMRA" copyright logo in a box. The front insert booklet of the first release came with a correction note for the track timings on page 2, correcting the times for tracks 4 and 8. The second European release now has a CD that was made in Austria. The text to the right of the centre hole is differently positioned. The track timings on page 2 of the front insert booklet have been revised, with the timings of tracks 4 and 8 now the same as those of the earlier correction note. However, every other track time has also been revised, with track 1 now being 5:12 instead of 5:07, for example. |

 Columbia 467841 2 (Austria for Europe) - front (my copy) |
This 1990s Columbia release is still on sale. The front insert is an eight-page stapled booklet. The CD was again made in Austria. Page 2 of the front insert has the same corrected track times as the second CBS release above. Gerd Rundel has noticed that this page is missing "CDCBS 26334 (CK 39944) (DIDP 196)" and number "2" below the track listing. |

This massive set is the latest in a series of "Complete Columbia Album Collections" featuring artists such as Miles Davis, Charlie Mingus, Duke Ellington, Dave Brubeck and even Blue Oyster Cult. The CD version of the set includes 41 Dylan albums in card sleeves, 14 of which have been remastered for this project, plus a 2CD set of previously released non-album tracks entitled Side Tracks. The albums exclude all compilations and The Bootleg Series sets, but do include the deleted 1973 Dylan album, also see 1973, and the extra 2CD set Side Tracks includes one side of the 1971 single George Jackson (Acoustic version), R-0085, see 1971. The set is therefore listed in 2013. The set also includes a hard cover book with extensive new liner notes and previously unseen photos.
All the CDs come in card sleeves. The European sleeves are made of thicker card than the US sleeves, but they are otherwise identical, so are not shown. The catalogue number on the sleeve is "88691924312JK26" plus "DISC 30". The front sleeve has "Bob Dylan" at top right, missing from both the US LP and CD releases, but present on international releases. This album has been remastered, so is the eighth Dylan album remastered for this project. The CDs are different in detail, the US Real Live CD has catalogue number "88691924312D30", whereas the European CD has catalogue number "88691924312-30". The European CD was made in the EU (probably Austria). The US and European copyright details are printed at the bottom of the Bob Dylan CDs, and round the circumference for The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan onwards, so I haven't shown them for the later CDs.
For more details of the set, see International Album Releases (Multi-Packs) 2010s.
