Bringing It All Back Home
|
|
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. Because of the length of this page, Bringing It All Back Home CD releases are now here. For releases of this album in CBS/Columbia multi-packs, see International Album Releases (Regular) - Multi-Packs. |

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!

Original US stereo LP, Columbia CS 9128, 22 Mar 1965. The famous front photograph was taken by Daniel Kramer. The woman in red is Sally Grossman, wife of Bob's then manager Albert. Rumours at the time were that it was Bob in drag! Sally sadly died on 12 Mar 2021, aged 81. The picture at the top of this page of the red jumpsuit worn by Sally in the 1965 photo is from "Isis" 216, 2021. For mono releases of this album, see Mono Album Releases. For an 8-track release with a shortened It's All Right Ma (I'm Only Bleeding), see 1974. For information on differences between the various releases of this album,

This title is now one of the fifteen Dylan albums released in Sep 2003 as a hybrid CD/SA-CD. This is playable both in stereo on an ordinary CD player and in enhanced stereo and 5.1 surround sound on an SA-CD player or a DVD player that also plays SA-CDs (Sony's higher range models all do this).
Track listing:
Side 1:
Subterranean Homesick Blues; She Belongs To Me; Maggie's Farm; Love Minus
Zero/No Limit; Outlaw Blues; On The Road Again; Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream.
Side 2: Mr. Tambourine Man; Gates Of Eden; It’s All Right, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding);
It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue.
Out-takes from this album have been officially released as follows:
Biograph (1985): I'll Keep It With Mine (first version, the second version was released on The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3)
The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3 (1991): Farewell Angelina; Subterranean Homesick Blues (alternate take); If You Gotta Go, Go Now (Or Else You Gotta Stay All Night)
The Bootleg Series Vol. 7 (2005): It's All Over Now, Baby Blue (alternate take); She Belongs To Me (alternate take). All these three are reportedly have already been circulating amongst collectors. The early 1964 version of Mr. Tambourine Man with Rambling Jack Elliott, sent to The Byrds so that they could cover the song, was also included on this set, but it's actually an out-take from Another Side Of Bob Dylan.
"Exclusive Out-takes From 'The Bootleg Series Vol. 7: No Direction Home - The Soundtrack'"- Three Track Download Only Single (2005): Outlaw Blues - alternate take recorded Columbia Studios, New York, 13 Jan 1965 (listed incorrectly as "16 Jan 1965"), previously uncirculating (R-0727), see Online Performances (Others).

A version of Subterranean Homesick Blues remixed by The Tings Tings was released on a US/European Columbia 7" stereo single in 2011.
The 18CD set The Cutting Edge 1965-1966: The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 (Collector's Edition), released Nov 2015, contains remixed stereo version of every track recorded at the sessions for Bringing It All Back Home at Columbia Studios, New York, including the originally released album tracks as follows:

Gerd Rundel (first release)
There are at least four 1960s US stereo releases!
Early copies of the first release have a purple sticker advertising Subterranean Homesick Blues on the front sleeve. The purple sticker was also used on the stereo reel-to-reel tape release, see below. The first release record has red Columbia labels with the "STEREO/360º SOUND" logos in black, "NONBREAKABLE" below the catalogue number to the left of the centre hole, and the copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-79423-1A, Side 2 - XSM-79424-1A.
Gerd Rundel has a demo copy of the first release in a sleeve without a front sticker, like Augie Krater's copy shown. There is a white demo sticker on the Side 1 record label. The record of this copy has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-79423-1A, Side 2 - XSM-79424-1D.
Scott from the USA has a second pressing copy of the first release without the purple sticker and with matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-79423-1B, Side 2 - XSM-79424-1B.
 Columbia CS 9128 (USA) - front with sticker, photo by Lance Jacobs (first release) |
Lance Jacobs has a similar second pressing copy with a
Subterranean Homesick Blues purple sticker on the front sleeve. The
rear sleeve is stamped "DEMONSTRATION NOT FOR SALE" but there is no such
indication on the first release record labels. The record comes in the
original grey striped inner sleeve and has matrix numbers: Side 1 -
o (handwritten) XSM-79423-1B (stamped), Side 2 - o
(handwritten) XSM-79424-1B (stamped).
I believe the "o" means it was pressed at Pittman, NJ.

Gerard Germano has a copy with the first release sleeve, with a first release label with "STEREO/360º SOUND" in black on Side 1, but with a second release label with "STEREO/360º SOUND" in white on Side 2! The second release has red Columbia labels with the "STEREO/360º SOUND" logos in white, "NONBREAKABLE" below the catalogue number to the left of the centre hole, and matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-79423-1C, Side 2 - XSM-79424-1C. This copy, owned by Stuart Moore, came in a mono sleeve, so the correct sleeve can't yet be identified.
Thanks to Manuel García Jara for information that the label design with white arrows was introduced in Jul/Aug 1965 (Bringing It All Back Home had labels with black arrows on original release in Mar 1965, and Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds still had labels with black arrows on original release in Jun 1965).
Brett Sherris has a copy with the second release labels pressed at Pittman, NJ, that still has matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-79423-1A, Side 2 - XSM-79424-1A as shown. The sleeve is as shown without a purple sticker. The inner sleeve is also shown, although it appears to date from earlier than 1965.
Thanks to Hans Seegers, Augie Krater, Gerard Germano, Stuart Moore, Manuel García Jara, Gerd Rundel and Brett Sherris for information and scans.
"Bringing It All Back Home" - stereo vinyl LP release, Columbia CS 9128 (USA for export), 1965:
 Columbia CS 9128 (USA) - front with "CBS" sticker, scan by Gerd Rundel (second release) |
This album has the US sleeve but the “COLUMBIA” logos on the front and rear are pasted over with “CBS” stickers. "Columbia" at bottom right of the rear sleeve has been whitened out. There are shaped dark red stickers with three CBS logos covering “COLUMBIA” on the labels, which are the second release with "STEREO/360º SOUND" logos in white and "NONBREAKABLE". There are also dark red shaped “CBS” stickers pasted over "Columbia" at the bottom of the labels. The record of this copy has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-79423-1E, Side 2 - XSM-79424-1F.

The third 1960s release has no stereo/arrows logo on the front sleeve and the record has red Columbia labels with the "STEREO/360º SOUND" logos in white, and "NONBREAKABLE" is now missing from below the catalogue number to the left of the centre hole. The record of the copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-79423-1J, Side 2 - XSM-79424-1D.
The fourth 1960s (1969-70) release comes in a sleeve which does have the stereo/arrows logo as shown. The copy shown has a heart symbol on the rear sleeve at bottom right. This indicates it is a reissue sleeve printed by Columbia at Pitman, NJ. There are some record label differences from those of the third release: “CS 9128” is now in bold italics and “STEREO” is now below it to the left of the centre hole; “SIDE 1/2” is now in bold italics to the right of the centre hole. The record of the copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-79423-1J, Side 2 - XSM-79424-1H.
Thanks to Jean-Pol Hiernaux, Henry V. Bell and Gerd Rundel for information and scans.
"Bringing It All Back Home" - stereo vinyl LP release, Columbia CS 9128 (USA), early 1970s:
 Columbia (K)CS 9128 (USA) - detail of front with sticker, photo by Brian Bourdages (early 1970s release) |
Colin Baker has a copy of Columbia CS 9128 with the original sleeve and catalogue number but with labels in the later Columbia design. This dates from the early 1970s. The record of the copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM 79423 1G, Side 2 - XSM 79424 1G. |

Henry Cooper has a copy where the record has the
same "1G" matrix numbers but the labels in the earlier fourth design as
above without "NONBREAKABLE". Brian Bourdages
has a copy where the record has exactly the same "CS 9128" labels and
comes in a sleeve with the front stereo arrows as shown above. This sleeve
has a white sticker across the spine at front top left with text "STEREO
KCS 9128" on the front and "KCS 9128" vertically on the spine. The matrix
numbers of the record are: Side 1 - XSM 79423-1A? (the marking
after "1" is very faint), Side 2 - XSM 79424-2B.
 Columbia CS 9128 (USA) - rear with US Navy sticker, photo by Matt Moran (early 1970s release) |
Matt Moran has an early 1970s copy with a sticker
on the rear sleeve that reads "For Sale Only Aboard US Navy Ships Afloat".
This is because the price did not include sales tax. I also have a picture of a copy of 1971's Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II with the same sticker. |

"Bringing It All Back Home" - stereo vinyl LP releases, Columbia KCS 9128 (USA), 1972 onwards:
 Columbia KCS 9128 (USA) - front scan by Gerd Rundel (1972 release) |
Thanks to Mick Robinson for scans of the 1972 release, Columbia KCS 9128. This release has a different Columbia logo at top left of the front sleeve. The rear sleeve of Mick Robinson's copy shown has a gold promo stamp. There is an "S" above the Columbia logo on the rear sleeve. This means the sleeve was printed at Columbia's plant at Santa Maria, CA. The box with track names and times at the bottom of the rear sleeve is now missing. |

Gerd Rundel's copy has the same sleeve as Mick Robinson's copy except for the gold promo stamp. This copy also has an "S" above the Columbia logo on the rear sleeve. Like the last release of CS 9128, this record again has 1970s Columbia labels with Columbia logos in a ring. The record of Gerd Rundel's 1972 copy has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-79423-1G, Side 2 - XSM-79424-1G. This album was issued again in 1982, this time with the "Stereo" at the top blacked out (not shown).

Thanks to Manuel García Jara and Patrick Helfrich for scans of the 1990s release, Columbia PC 9128. It has redesigned red Columbia labels. The front sleeve again has no stereo/arrows logo at the top. Manuel García Jara has two copies of PC 9128, one has the 1990s labels and the other has the older style labels with Columbia logos in a ring.

Gerd Rundel has a copy with a wraparound sticker on the sleeve with a barcode on the rear and "PC 9128" on the spine. The catalogue number on the front and rear of the sleeve is just "9128" but the record labels have catalogue number "JC 9128". The record of this copy has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM 79423-2K, Side 2 - XSM 79424-2H. Gerd Rundel's late 1980s release comes in the same PC 9128 sleeve with a barcode on the rear as Manuel and Patrick's 1990s copies, but the record labels have catalogue number "C 9128" and still have the older style design, this time with the inverted triangle symbol to the left of the centre hole on Side 1 introduced with Biograph in 1985. The record of this copy has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - (FXAP) XSM 79423-G2B, Side 2 - (FXAP) XSM 79424-G2C.
Jim Romeo has a copy with the third 1980s labels with the inverted triangle symbol to the left of the centre hole on Side 1. It actually plays a 1989 album called Voodoo by The Dirty Dozen Brass Band (Columbia C 45042) and has the expected matrix numbers for that album. There must have been a batch of mispressed albums like this, but almost all of them would have been returned by the buyers to be replaced.
Thanks to Hanns Peter Bushoff for information and to Hans Seegers, Stuart Moore, Henry V. Bell, Mick Robinson, Colin Baker, Patrick Helfrich and Gerd Rundel for scans.

Ronald Born says: "I've never seen this but I have an US-pressing of The Byrds' Mr. Tambourine Man LP with a similar sticker in blue. On the rear sleeve of this LP the Columbia logo is covered with a small sticker with the same text. This copy was sold in the early 1990s in Germany. There is a price sticker from WOM (World of Music), 9.99.- DM. I think the big music stores got these overstock records for a very attractive price, but had to "tune" them for the German market." Dr Hanns Peter Bushoff adds: "I haven't seen this copy either, but I've seen similar configurations by other Columbia artists. EMI Electrola in Cologne, the company under whose roof the UK Columbia products were issued since decades, had a very consistent business affairs manager in the 1970s and 1980s who legally forced CBS Germany to sticker imported Columbia albums (I've never seen this on singles or EPs, as they were never imported) with CBS trademarks and the legal blurb on the labels. I currently can't reconstruct when this obviously not very necessary, but effective legal dispute began and ended, but I think it ended in the mid-1980s already, - nevertheless it's quite possible that quantities of these US imports survived until the early 1990s, when the record chain WOM and possibly also other retailers sold them as overstock copies. So I cannot really add that much to Roland's analysis, except that the stickering was probably not done by WOM, but very likely at an earlier stage by CBS Germany's import service."
Gerd Rundel also has a Columbia US export copy of the 1973 album Dylan with the the same "CBS Family of Music" stickers on the sleeve and yellow label stickers.

This unique high quality recording was released on heavyweight vinyl playing at 45 RPM, which means that it is a 2LP set in a gatefold sleeve.

In the matrix numbers, “KW @ MoFi” means that the records were mastered by Krieg Wunderlich of Mobile Fidelity.

"Bringing It All Back Home" - 4-track stereo tape release, Columbia 14 10 0024 (USA), 1967?:
 Columbia 14 10 0024 (USA) - front of cartridge, scan by Augie Krater |
This Bringing It All Back Home 4-track cartridge release has a
reshuffled tracklisting and Gates of Eden and It's Alright Ma (I'm Only
Bleeding) are missing entirely, making the album far more electric! Without
a 4-track player it is impossible to say for certain whether any of the
songs have edits (as the 8-track release below does).
Thanks to Augie Krater for information and scans. |

"Bringing It All Back Home" - 8-track stereo tape release, Columbia 18 10 0024 (USA), 1968; Columbia House PCA 24 (USA), 1974?:
 Columbia 18 10 0024 (USA) - front scan by Augie Krater (both releases) |
This release contains a rarity in that It's All Right Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) is shortened by two verses, so it's also listed in 1974. |

 Columbia House PCA 24 (USA) - slipcase rear scan by Hans Seegers |
The track order was rearranged to make all four programs of roughly equivalent length:
Program 1: Subterranean Homesick Blues; On the Road Again; Bob Dylan's 115th Dream
Program 2: She Belongs To Me; Love Minus Zero/No Limit; Gates Of Eden
Program 3: Maggie's Farm; Outlaw Blues; It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
Program 4: Mr. Tambourine Man, It's All Right Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) (edited version).
This 8-track edition was released twice in red cartridges, both times with the same front design. There was also a Columbia House record club edition with different packaging (the example shown is still sealed in a slipcase and has a black cartridge). Note the first variant of 18 10 0024 has three separate glued labels while the second has two - the rear label folds over the end.
Thanks to Thomas Wilmeth for the information and to Hans Seegers and Augie Krater for further information and scans.

"Bringing It All Back Home" - stereo vinyl LP releases, Columbia CS 9128 (Canada), Mar 1965 onwards, Columbia KCS 9128 (Canada), mid-1970s (two releases):
CS 9128 (Canada), Mar 1965 onwards:
 Columbia CS 9128 (Canada) - front scan by Manuel García Jara (1965 release) |
The US and Canadian first releases are virtually identical except for some slight differences: the Canadian sleeve has the small text "LITHO IN CAN." vertically printed on front, and on the rear the text "Printed in USA" is missing. The record labels are identical with the black STEREO/360º SOUND" logos, even with the same typeface, except the text "Printed in Can." instead of "Printed in USA". Manuel's first release copy shown is very strange: there are traces of removed stickers over the Columbia logos on the front and rear of the sleeve; but most noticeably on the record labels where it looks like similar ring-shaped stickers to those of the export copies below have been removed. So, it appears this copy was originally prepared for export, but for some reasons the stickers were removed and it was after all sold in Canada - it was bought in Montreal, Quebec, in Jun 1965. The record of this copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-79423-1D, Side 2 - XSM-79424-1A. | ||||

Columbia CS 9128 (Canada) - detail of rear, scan by Manuel García Jara (1965 release)
Arie de Reus has a Canadian copy of the 1960s release CS 9128 with mixed labels - one side has a first release label with the "STEREO/360º SOUND" logos in black, while the other side has a second release label with the "STEREO/360º SOUND" logos in white, with "NONBREAKABLE" to the left of the centre hole.
Gerd Rundel's second release record has both labels the same and comes in a sleeve with several differences from the 1965 sleeve: no "LITHO IN CAN." at front bottom right; "CS 9128" is above "Home" on the rear sleeve, not at top right, and the mono catalogue number below the "Columbia" logo is missing; “Shorepak Can. Pat. No. 758888, 1967” is missing at the bottom of the rear sleeve.
 Columbia CS 9128 (Canada) - front scan by Victoria Stafford |
Victoria Stafford has an album dated 1967 that must be a third and last Canadian two-eye label style pressing of Bringing It All Back Home. The front sleeve looks like the 1960s sleeve at top left, but it doesn't have "LITHO IN CAN." at bottom right. The 1967 rear sleeve has several differences from the 1965 sleeve: "CS 9128" is above "Home" in the same position as "KCS 9128" on the 1970s sleeve, and it doesn’t have the two lines of copyright text on the bottom but instead says “Shorepak Can. Pat. No. 758888, 1967” just like Stan Denski’s early 1970s The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan. The labels have the 2-eye design with white "STEREO"/"360 SOUND"/arrows logo, and do not have “NONBREAKABLE”. The font and text layout of both sides look identical to the 1970s labels - on Side 1 Love Minus Zero/No Limit is on two lines, but not printed like an equation. | |||

Gerd Rundel has a 1970s copy of CS 9128, probably the last with this catalogue number. The sleeve is the same as Victoria Stafford's 1967 release and has “LITHO IN CANADA” on the spine. The record has red Columbia labels with the logos in a circle round the circumference. |

The text layout on the labels is the same as on Victoria Stafford's 1967 copy. Love Minus Zero/No Limit on Side 1 is on two lines, but not printed like an equation. The bottom text on the labels reads "MANUFACTURED BY COLUMBIA RECORDS OF CANADA LTD." The record of this copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-79423-1A (handwritten), Side 2 - XSM-79424-1A (stamped).

releases):
 Columbia KCS 9128 (Canada) - front scan by Gerd Rundel (mid-1970s releases variants 1 & 2) |
The sleeves of Gerd Rundel's 1970s copies of KCS 9128 have several differences front and rear from the 1960s sleeves, including new copyright text at the bottom rear. The records again have red Columbia labels with the logos in a circle round the circumference, with the same text layout as before, but with the new catalogue number as shown. The bottom text on the labels of the first record reads "COLUMBIA (logo) MARCAS REG. MADE IN CANADA". Columbia Records of Canada Ltd. was renamed CBS Records Canada Ltd. in late 1976, so this release is before then, as is the second record, where the bottom text reads "MANUFACTURED BY COLUMBIA RECORDS OF CANADA LTD." This copy has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-79423-1A, Side 2 - XSM 79424-1A-2H. |

The bottom text on the labels of the record now reads "MANUFACTURED BY CBS RECORDS CANADA LTD.". The records in all four sleeves have the same handwritten matrix numbers as the second mid-1970s record above - Side 1 - XSM-79423-1A, Side 2 - XSM-79424-1A 2H.
The KCS 9128 export copies owned by Lars M. Banke and Gerd Rundel listed below are examples of variant 1A with "KCS 9128" below "STEREO" on the front sleeves at top left and also above "Home" on the rear sleeves. Both rear sleeves have "CBS RECORDS CANADA" bottom text on one line only.

This interesting item is said to be a picture disc edition of the Columbia Canada release, shown here in a clear plastic sleeve. However, as far as I know, no Dylan picture discs have ever been released by Columbia worldwide. These albums were made unofficially in Germany or Italy. For a "Brazilian" picture disc release, see below. Thanks to Ed Ricardo for finding this item. |

Thanks to Arie de Reus, Gerd Rundel, Manuel García Jara, Victoria Stafford and Lars M. Banke for information and scans.
"Bringing It All Back Home" - stereo vinyl LP releases, Columbia KCS 9128 (Canada
for export), 1972 onwards:
Lars M. Banke has four copies of the 1970s
Canadian release KCS 9128 bought in Sweden. Three have the Columbia
name and logos on the sleeves and record labels obscured (the other has
"Columbia" obscured on the sleeve but not on the record labels). This
obscuring is done because
Columbia then traded as CBS in countries where the Columbia trade name was at
that time owned
by EMI.
Lars copies 1 & 2:
 Columbia KCS 9128 (Canada for export) - front scan by Lars M. Banke (copy 1 with "KCS 9128", sticker missing) |
Copy 1 has black stickers covering the Columbia information on the sleeve, although the sticker has been removed from the front sleeve, leaving a visible circle of glue residue. |

"Bringing It All Back Home" - stereo vinyl LP releases, CBS SBPG 62515 (UK), 7 May 1965 onwards; CBS 32344 (UK), 1983:
CBS SBPG 62515 (UK), 1965 release:
 CBS SBPG 62515 (UK) - front scan by Hans Seegers (1965 release with top centre stereo/arrows logo) |
This album was released in stereo in the UK in May 1965, again in the late 1960s, the mid 1970s, and then re-released in 1983 with a new catalogue number, CBS 32344. The 1965 stereo album has the "STEREO"/arrows logo on the front sleeve in varying locations, which implies that it was printed separately (at random!). The sleeve was printed by Ernest J. Day & Co., Ltd. and the rear has three folded-over flaps. The 1965 record has orange CBS labels and the copy shown has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - SBPG 62515 A; Side 2 - SBPG 62515 B. Mick Robinson has a copy of the first pressing with "AC" stamped on the rear sleeve and Side 1 record label - this may denote "Advanced Copy". On all these Side 1 record labels "Love Minus Zero/No Limit" is listed as "Love Minus Zero - No Limit" on one line. |

These copies have the same rear sleeve and record labels as Hans Seegers' copy as well as the same matrix numbers. The playing speed on the first pressing labels is just "33" - on the later label design below it is "33⅓". The catalogue number on the record labels is shown as "CBS Sbpg 62515" or "CBS sbpg 62515". |

Gerd Rundel has a copy where the record has first release variant labels. It comes in a sleeve with top right stereo/arrows logo as shown above. The rear sleeve is the same as shown on Hans' rear scan of the first release. This may be a contract pressing by a company such as EMI because the Side 2 record label has British purchase tax code “K/T” stamped on either side of the centre hole. The catalogue number on the labels of this copy is “sbpg 62515” while Hans' copy has “Sbpg 62515” ("S" in full-sized capitals). The record of this copy has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - SBPG 62515 A, Side 2 - SBPG 62515 B. Simon Blokker has a similar copy with the catalogue number on the labels as “sbpg 62515”, the same record matrix numbers, and the same sleeve printed by Ernest J. Day & Co., Ltd. However, on his record labels the song titles are more widely spaced than on the labels of Gerd's copy, with much less space between song 7 and "MADE IN ENGLAND".
CBS SBPG 62515 (UK) -
detail of rear,
scan by Gerd Rundel (first release)
Kimmo Niemi from Finland has two copies of the UK stereo release, both have orange CBS labels with "33" playing speed (not "33⅓"). One of the copies has the "STEREO"/arrows logo at front top centre, the other has it at top right. One of the copies has UK matrixes, "SPBG 62515", the other copy, has the US matrixes, starting with "XSM 79423". Both labels look like the first UK pressing, but the US matrix labels are “smoother” rather than the CBS UK rough (textured) labels.
CBS S BPG 62515 (UK), late 1960s releases:
|
|
The stereo/arrows logo is missing from the front and
rear sleeve of the late 1960s release. The rear sleeve has a second piece of
boxed text with "CBS Stereo Records can be played on Mono Reproducers", etc. The late 1960s record still has orange CBS labels with different text font and layout. The playing speed is now "33⅓". "Love Minus Zero/No Limit" is now listed as "Love Minus Zero on two lines with the first line underlined as an equation. The catalogue number on the record labels is shown slightly differently as "CBS S bpg 62515. |

BPG 62515 (UK) - detail of rear, scan by Manuel García Jara (late
1960s release - version with printer's name)
The record of Manuel's copy with the printer's name and the red "STEREO"/arrows stamp on the rear sleeve has the same labels as shown and stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 -SBPG 62515 A2, Side 2 - SBPG 62515 B2. Mick Robinson's copy also has the printer's name and address, "Ernest J. Day & Co. Ltd., London". Manuel García Jara has a copy like this, but both he and Hans Seegers have copies where the printer's name and address are missing, probably from a different printer. Manuel has another copy with the printer's name where the rear sleeve has a red "STEREO"/arrows stamp at top centre.
Gerd Rundel has a late 1960s variant with a different pressing ring on Side 1. Side 2 looks the same as Manuel's copy. This record comes in a sleeve without a stereo/arrows logo and the printer's name is missing on the rear.
 CBS Sbpg 62515 (UK for Israel) - front sticker photo by Omri Amit |
Omri Amit from Israel has a copy of the late 1960s release bought there with a gold foil price sticker for 17/90 Israeli shekels on the front sleeve. The rear sleeve has a gold foil sticker with "Stereo". The record has late 1960s release UK labels as shown immediately above with playing speed "33⅓" but there is a Hebrew character written in the vinyl as shown. Apparently CBS Israel bought sleeves and labels from the UK but the records themselves were pressed in Israel. |

 CBS Sbpg 62515/CBS S BPG 62515 (UK) - front scan by Gerd Rundel (both mid 1970s releases) |
Both of Gerd Rundel's mid 1970s copies have the same sleeve as the late 1960s release, no text above or below the CBS logo on the front, the rear is without stereo/arrows logo and the printer's name is missing. On the Side 1 label Love Minus Zero/No Limit is again listed on two lines with the first line underlined as above. The records of these copies have orange/yellow CBS labels, introduced for the first time with Desire in 1976. |

The record labels of the first copy have: "Sbpg 62515" to the right of the centre hole; "(P) 1965" is missing to the right of the centre hole; "BOB DYLAN" is above the album title like the 1960s releases; Songs 3 and 4 on Side 2 have "(B. Dylan)" below the song titles on separate lines. On the Side 1 label the text above and on either side of the centre hole is more highly positioned than on the Side 2 label, but this may just be for this specific copy.
The record labels of the second copy have: "S BPG 62515" to the right of the centre hole; "(P) 1965" has returned to the right of the centre hole; "BOB DYLAN" is below the album title like the late 1970s and the 1980s releases; Songs 3 and 4 on Side 2 have "(B. Dylan)" on the same lines as the song titles.
The records of both copies shown have stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - SBPG 62515 A2, Side 2 - SBPG 62515 B2.

Phonographic Performance Ltd. (PPL), the UK music licensing company and performance rights organisation, moved from Oxford Street in London to 14-22 Ganton Street in 1977, so this release is after then. It does not have the "LC|0149" in a capsule on the sleeve and record labels that are on UK CBS releases from the end of the 1970s, and on the 1980s releases, see below. There must be a late 1970s/early 1980s copy with orange/yellow CBS record labels where the sleeve and labels have these codes.
The orange/yellow CBS record labels are different from those of the mid 1970s copies:
There is also an error in the listed US matrix numbers to the right of the centre hole because both sides have “XSM 79424”, the Side 1 US matrix number should be “XSM 79423” (see US releases). The record of the copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - SBPG 62515 A2 (stamped), Side 2 - CBS-S-62515-B-3 (handwritten).

 CBS BPG 62515 (UK) - Side 2 scan by Gerd Rundel (first late 1970s/early 1980s release) |
This late 1970s/early 1980s release with the mono catalogue number comes in the same sleeve as the late 1970s copy immediately above. The record has orange/yellow CBS labels without "LC|0149" in a capsule, with the album title above "Bob Dylan", no underline for "Love Minus Zero/No Limit" as above. The error in the listed US matrix numbers to the right of the centre hole with both sides having “XSM 79424” (Side 1 should be “XSM 79423”) is repeated. “MADE IN ENGLAND” is still at the bottom of the labels. The record of the copy shown has the same matrix numbers as Gerd's listed late 1970s copy: Side 1 - SBPG 62515 A2 (stamped), Side 2 - CBS-S-62515-B-3 (handwritten).

 CBS BPG 62515 (UK) - Side 2 scan by Ronald Born (second late 1970s/early 1980s release) |
This second late 1970s/early 1980s release with the mono catalogue number again comes in the same sleeve as the late 1970s copy immediately above. The record labels now have "MADE IN ENGLAND" in the circumference text and CBS copyright info at the bottom. "Love Minus Zero/No Limit" is again as immediately above and the error in the listed US matrix numbers to the right of the centre hole on Side 1 is still uncorrected. The matrix numbers seem to be the same as for the first CBS 32344 release below (including "32344"): Side 1 - SBPG 62515 A2 (stamped) 32344 (stamped), Side 2 - CBS 32344 B4 (handwritten) 62515 (handwritten), so this may be the last release with the "62515" catalogue number.
CBS S BPG 62515 (Ireland), late 1970s:

The record has orange/yellow CBS labels with "Record mfd. in Ireland" as well as "MADE IN ENGLAND" at the bottom of the labels. The record of the copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - SBPG 62515 A 2 (stamped), Side 2 - CBS S 62515 B3 (handwritten).
"Bringing It All Back Home" - stereo vinyl LP releases, CBS 32344 (UK), 1982, re-released 1983, 1984, late 1980s; Columbia 32344 (UK), 1991:

Around 1982 all Dylan albums were reissued in the UK with orange/yellow CBS labels and catalogue numbers "CBS 323xx". The 1982 sleeve again has no "STEREO" logo on the front, and the catalogue number is now CBS 32344. The sleeve now has folded under flaps. Track 4 on Side 1 is again "Love Minus Zero - No Limit". The album title is above "BOB DYLAN". The record of the 1982 copy shown has orange/yellow CBS labels with matrix numbers: Side 1 - 62515-A2/2B-1 32344 (stamped), Side 2 - CBS 32344 B4 - 62515 (handwritten). |

The album was released again in 1983 with the same sleeve, again with orange/yellow CBS labels of a different design. The album title is now below "BOB DYLAN" and the text layout is exactly the same as that of the 1984 red CBS record labels. There are two record label variants, both have "MADE IN ENGLAND" in the circumference text to the right of the centre hole. The first has no text at the bottom of the labels, the second has CBS copyright info at the bottom. The records of both copies shown have matrix numbers: Side 1 - SBPG 62515 A2 (stamped), 32344 (stamped), Side 2 - CBS 32344 B4 (handwritten), 62515 (handwritten).
The album was released again in 1984 with the same sleeve. The record now has red CBS labels with text identical to that of the second 1983 release shown, and comes in an original white “NICE PRICE” inner sleeve showing details of other CBS releases in the series. The copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - SBPG 62515 A2 (stamped), 32344 (stamped), Side 2 - CBS-32344 B4 - 62515 (handwritten).
The late 1980s release comes in the same sleeve as the 1983 and 1984 releases. The record again has red CBS labels and comes in a different “NICE PRICE” inner sleeve showing details of other CBS releases in the series, black this time. The copy shown has the same matrix numbers as the 1984 release: Side 1 - SBPG 62515 A2, 32344 (stamped), Side 2 - CBS-32344 B4 – 62515 (handwritten). The only differences that I can see between the 1984 and the late 1980s record labels are that the white CBS copyright information at the bottom of the 1984 label has been moved to the circumference text of the late 1980s label, which is now a much bolder white. Peter Oudejans and Gerd Rundel have copies where the circumference text is shorter because "MADE IN ENGLAND" is missing, only the CBS copyright info is in the circumference text.

Columbia/CBS 32344 (UK), 1991:

The 1991 Columbia/CBS release has the same CBS 32344 sleeve as the 1983 release, with one minor difference on the rear of sleeve in the bottom right hand corner - the Shorepak printer details below the “LC/0149” capsule are now missing. |

The record this time has red Columbia labels, and "MADE IN ENGLAND" is missing at bottom centre or in the circumference text (the album may by now have been made in Holland for the UK market). The record of the copy shown has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 -32344-A3, Side 2 - CBS-32344 B4 - 62515.

CBS 40-62515 (UK), 1970s (three releases):
 CBS 40-62515 (UK) - outside of cassette insert, scan by Dr. Walter Roedl (first release) |
The album's electric Side 1/acoustic side 2 separation has been weakened because the tracks have been reordered to make both tape sides similar lengths. Four tracks from the acoustic Side 2 appear here on Side 1, while Side 2 has the electric Side 1 of the album plus Gate Of Eden from the acoustic Side 2 of the album. Dr. Walter Roedl has a copy of this cassette release that has a folded card insert which includes the sleeve notes on the inside. The cassette is light grey with orange CBS paper labels. This must be the first release of CBS 40-62515. |

The second release of CBS 40-62515 has minimal artwork and a light-grey cassette with black text printed directly on it, there are no paper labels.
The third release of CBS 40-62515 has the same sized insert as the second release but a completely different design both outside and inside with side and track timings. As the insert design is the same as that of the first release of CBS 40-32344 below, I date this release as late 1970s/early 1980s. It again has a light-grey cassette with black text printed directly on it, the same as the second release.
CBS 40-32344 (UK), 1982:

|
 CBS 40-32344 (UK) - Side 1 |
 CBS 40-32344 (UK) - Side 2 |
The catalogue number of the third cassette release is now CBS 40-32344, the new "Nice Price" catalogue number. Again, it has minimal artwork (the same design as the third release of CBS 40-62515 above except for the new catalogue number) and a light-grey cassette with black text printed directly on it, with the same 1960s CBS logo as before.
Columbia/CBS 40-32344 (UK), early 1990s:

 CBS 40-32344 (UK) - cassette Side 2 photocopy by Paul Shenton |
The fourth release from the early 1990s now has a Columbia catalogue number, Columbia CBS 40-32344, the Columbia logo on the insert spine, and a barcode on the rear. Yet again it has minimal artwork. The cassette is now transparent with white text printed directly on it. The cassette shown still has CBS logos, so was probably sold in the late 1980s with a CBS insert, possibly again with a barcode. Are there 1990s UK cassettes with the Columbia logo?
Thanks to Henry V. Bell, Dr Walter Roedl and Paul Shenton for information and scans.
"Bringing It All Back Home" - stereo vinyl LP releases, CBS CS 9128 (Singapore), 1965 (three variants):
 CBS CS 9128 (Singapore) - front scan by Gerd Rundel (first variant) |
This album has the US stereo sleeve with "CBS" replacing "Columbia". The record labels are like the second US stereo release in that they have "STEREO" and the "360° SOUND"/arrows logo in white and "NONBREAKABLE" (see above), although the text layouts are different. Thanks to Hans Seegers and Manuel García Jara for information that the sleeves and records (without labels) were imported from the USA, but the CBS record labels were printed locally. CBS had a record pressing facility in Singapore from 1967, so records after that were sourced locally. There are two sleeve variants and two label styles, although the first label style has two sub-variants. |

Both front sleeves are the same, with "CBS" instead of "Columbia" in the logo at top left. The rear sleeves also have "CBS" instead of "Columbia" in the logo at top right. The first variant rear sleeve has “PRINTED IN USA” in the lower right hand corner, although the "COLUMBIA" from the US equivalent sleeve is missing. The second variant rear sleeve just has "MARCAS REG." in the same position, so may not have been printed in the USA.
All the record labels have three "CBS" logos. The first variant Side 1 label comes in two sub-variants, both with the first song listed above the centre hole, and the song titles centred. The records both come in the first variant sleeve. The first sub-variant has "33⅓ RPM" to the right of the centre hole, while it's missing on the second sub-variant, which also has different typefaces. On the second sub-variant "NONBREAKABLE" looks like "NONBREAKARLE", although this may just be a printing error.
The second variant record label again has different text typefaces with all songs listed below the centre hole and left aligned. "NONBREAKABLE" is now "Nonbreakable.
All three records have handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-79423, Side 2 - XSM-79424. See also the Malaysian release below.

"Bringing It All Back Home" - stereo vinyl LP, CBS CS 9128 (Malaysia), 1965:
 CBS CS 9128 (Malaysia) - front scan by Gerd Rundel |
This album is similar to the previous entry and has the US stereo sleeve with "CBS" replacing "Columbia"
at top left front and top right rear. The
record labels are similar to the second US stereo release with "STEREO" and
the "360° SOUND"/arrows logo in white
and "NONBREAKABLE" (see above). "Columbia" is replaced by a top "CBS" logo.
The first song on Side 1 is below the centre hole. There is no country of
origin on either the sleeve or the record labels, although "MARCAS REG" is
printed on the rear sleeve at bottom right.
The record of the copy shown has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM 79423, B296;
Side 2 - XSM 79424, B297. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and to Gerd Rundel for scans. |

CS 9128 (Philippines), 1965:
For the mono release of this album, see Mono Album
Releases.
 CBS CS 9128 (Philippines) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
This rare album with the US catalogue number has a sleeve printed in the USA. The record has orange stereo CBS labels and was manufactured in the Philippines for Columbia Records Inc. by Mareco Inc. (Later Philippines stereo records were made for CBS/Sony Japan by Blackgold Records Inc. and OctoArts International Inc.) It has "Columbia" in the logo on the front sleeve but "CBS" on the rear sleeve and record labels. The record of the copy shown has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-79423-1A, Side 2 - XSM-79424-1D. Gerd Rundel has a copy with the same sleeve. The record has the same stamped matrix numbers, but the labels are different in the centre: to the left of the centre hole the "STEREO"/arrows logo is below the catalogue number and "NONBREAKABLE" and to the right of the centre hole "XSM 79423" on Side 1 and "XSM 79424" on Side 2 have no brackets. Also, the text round the circumference of the labels is different and the second lines of the titles of tracks 3 and 4 on Side 2 are not indented as they are on Hans Seegers' copy. Thanks to Hans Seegers and Gerd Rundel for information and scans. |

"Subterranean Homesick Blues [Bringing It All Back Home]" - stereo vinyl
LP releases, CBS S 62515 (NL), 1967, re-released 1975 onwards; CBS 32344
(NL), 1982, re-released late 1980s:
This album was released in Holland under the alternative title of what must
have been considered at the time to be its most marketable track. The stereo
album was surprisingly released in multiple variants. For the 1965 mono release of
the album with this title, see Mono Album
Releases.
The album was also released under this title in West Germany and Portugal (see below).
CBS S 62515 (NL), 1967, re-released 1975 onwards (six variants):
|
CBS S 62515 (NL), first commercial release - front scan by Hans Seegers |
1 This first stereo sleeve is laminated and has two
folded flaps on the rear sleeve, unlike the three on the mono version.
The label has the first song title for the side under the album title above the centre hole. As well as the album shown Lars M. Banke has a copy bought at a Dutch record fair with this sleeve and variant 2 record labels. |

2 The second stereo front sleeve is also laminated and
has the "STEREO" logo with arrows above "Bob Dylan".
The rear sleeve has the words "NL PRINTED IN HOLLAND" vertically at the bottom right. The label has "Produced by Tom Wilson" under the album title above the centre hole. All the song titles are below the centre hole. |

3 The third stereo front sleeve is not
laminated, but is otherwise the same as the first - the "STEREO"
logo has gone again! The "STEREO" logo is now moved to the rear sleeve, and there is a "B" in the top right-hand corner, and at the bottom right-hand corner the previous information about the type of stereo pickup required is omitted - the vertical words "NL PRINTED IN HOLLAND" remain. The labels from this copy go back to the first design. |

Differences are detailed below:
The labels are the same as the first and third pressings with one song listed above the centre hole.
The sleeve has no visible flaps (like all but the first pressing).
The sleeve is laminated (first, second, sixth pressings).
The catalogue number starts with an "S" (first through fifth pressings).
The sleeve has the "STEREO"/arrows logo on both the front and back.
The rear sleeve has a circled "B" in the top right corner (like the third pressing).
"NL Printed in Holland" is printed vertically on the rear sleeve and is next to the information about recommended pickups (like the second pressing).
 CBS S 62515, fourth commercial release (NL), detail of rear sleeve - scan by Hans Seegers (note "STEREO" logo and "Y") |
4 The fourth stereo front sleeve is the same as the third, not laminated, with no "STEREO" logo. On the rear sleeve the "B" in the top right-hand corner is now a "Y", and the text "NL PRINTED IN HOLLAND" is now printed horizontally instead of vertically. The label is the same as the third. |

5 Gerd Rundel has a different copy of the album that I shall now call the fifth release. It is not laminated, and has "CBS S 62515" on the front above the CBS logo and on the spine. It has "Y" and "60" in circles at top right of the rear sleeve while the text "NL PRINTED IN HOLLAND" is printed horizontally as on the fourth sleeve but has "LC 0149" in a capsule in the bottom right hand corner. The labels are the new style orange/yellow design with catalogue number "CBS 62515" as for the sixth release. The record has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - S-62515-1, Side 2- S 62515-B. Anders Ydremark has a copy of this release from a 1978 Swedish "Collector's Series" three LP boxed set which has a box made in Sweden but records made in Holland. For more details see International Album Releases (Multi-Packs) 1970s. The record of this copy also has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - S-62515-1, Side 2- S 62515-B.
 CBS 62515, sixth commercial release (NL) - Side 1 scan by Hans Seegers (1975 onwards, same as fifth release) |
6 The sixth stereo sleeve is exactly the same as the fourth, except that it is again laminated and the catalogue number is just CBS 62515. It was originally released with the third label design, but a new label was used from 1975 onwards, when the orange/yellow design as above replaced the orange design. |
CBS S 62515 (Spain for NL), 1972-74 (three variants):
 CBS S 62515 (Spain for NL) - front scan by Manuel García Jara (all variants) |
This album has a choice of three Dutch sleeves but the record itself was made in Spain. The sleeve is not laminated. The front has the Dutch title Subterranean Homesick Blues and it has a CBS logo with Stereo information in a box at top left: this logo style is not present on any other Dutch sleeve and is exclusive to this release. The variant 1 rear sleeve has a CBS logo without catalogue number and a "B" in a circle at top right, All rear variants also have the text "NL printed in holland" printed vertically at bottom right. Although all the sleeves have the Dutch title, the record labels have the standard title Bringing It All Back Home. |

On the rear sleeve of the copy already on the website the only text element at the top of the rear sleeve is a "B" in a circle in the upper right corner of the sleeve. Also the only text at the bottom of this rear sleeve is "CBS Is a Trademark of the Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc." Lars M Banke has two copies where the front sleeve is the same as shown, but the rear sleeves are different. On the rear sleeve of the first of these copies the "STEREO Can Also Be Played in Mono" box with arrows is added to the left of the "B" in the circle. and the text "A Stereo Pickup of maximum 8 g stylus force (Maximum tip radius 0,7 mil) is recommended" is added at bottom right. On the rear sleeve of the second of these copies there is no "B" in a circle at top right, but "THIS STEREO RECORDING CAN ALSO BE PLAYED IN MONO PROVIDED A MODERN, LIGHTWEIGHT PICKUP IS USED" is added at top left. This sleeve also has the same extra text at rear bottom right as the first of Lars' copies.
As well as "MADE IN SPAIN" at the bottom, the record labels also have several differences from Dutch labels. The tracklist text has the usual typeface of labels made in Spain by CBS itself after 1972 when CBS Spain had its own pressing plant. This text has the same lines and identical distribution of tracks per lines. The labels have the text "(P) 1972 CBS, Inc", the date of when this record was first released in Spain, not "1967" the year of release in Holland. The different titles on the sleeve and on the record labels make these albums very collectable. Also, these records don't have Dutch matrix numbers - they are identical to those of the second Spanish edition below taken from the UK release (the one made by CBS itself, not the first Spanish edition made by COFASA with US matrix numbers). All three copies shown have matrix numbers: Side 1 - SBPG 62515 A2, Side 2 - SBPG 62515 B2.
CBS 32344 (NL), 1982, re-released late 1980s:
 CBS 32344, seventh commercial release (NL) - front with "NICE PRICE" sticker, scan by Manuel García Jara (1982) |
7 The seventh stereo sleeve from 1982 is different again. The catalogue number is now CBS 32344 although the front sleeve has no catalogue number or CBS logo. The front sleeve of Manuel García Jara's copy has a "NICE PRICE" sticker with text in English, French and German. The ancillary text on the rear sleeve is also different, and the record still has orange/yellow CBS labels, this time with the tracklist printed continuously instead of one song per line. The record of Manuel García Jara's copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - 01-62515-1A-1 (stamped) S-62515-1 (handwritten), Side 2 - NL 01-62515-2B-1 (printed). | ||||

8 The eighth release from the late 1980s again still has the catalogue number CBS 32344 and the sleeve looks identical to the 1982 sleeve, without the "NICE PRICE" sticker. The record has labels with the late 1980s/1990s all-red design, again with the tracklist printed continuously instead of one song per line. |

"Bringing It All Back Home" - stereo vinyl LP releases, CBS SBP 233213 (Australia), 1965 (twice), reissued late 1960s, 1970s:
 CBS SBP 233213 (Australia) - front scan by Manuel García Jara (1965 and mid-1960s releases) |
There were not one, but two different Australian releases of Bringing It All Back Home with the Allan's logo on the record labels. Both have the same sleeve but different labels. The rear sleeve has two folded-over flaps, although it looks like there are three - this is because of the line on the right where the front laminate finishes. This first sleeve is different from the late 1960s and 1970s sleeves shown below: it has the classic "STEREO"/arrows/"360 SOUND" logo at front top centre, instead of the "STEREO/CAN ALSO BE PLAYED ON MONO EQUIPMENT" logo. First label variant: On both sides the Allan's logo is bigger so there is less space between this logo and the centre CBS logo and the text elements above and below. Second label variant: On both sides there is a smaller Allan's logo so the space between the logo, the central CBS logo and the text elements above and below is bigger. This second copy is a sampler record with a promo stamp on side 2 (there is no promo stamp on the second sleeve). The records of both label variants have identical stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - MX145943 SBP233213-1, Side 2 - MX145944 SBP233213-2. |

The record of the late 1960s release has plain orange CBS labels, the 1970s reissue has orange/yellow CBS labels. The late 1960s release shown has no Allan's logo - Allan's were music publishers in Australia for Bob Dylan records between 1965 and 1969, so this release is after then.
The plain orange record labels shown have round the circumference at the bottom the text "MADE IN AUSTRALIA BY A REGISTERED USER OF THE TRADE MARKS" without a CBS copyright. This is because up to 1977 all Australian records were manufactured by the Australian Record Company (Pty) Ltd. (A.R.C.) on behalf of CBS. A.R.C. changed its name to CBS Records Australia Limited on 17 Oct 1977, and after that date the longer bottom edge text includes the CBS copyright information. (Stuart Moore says that the label change may not have occurred till late 1978 or early 1979, Bob Dylan At Budokan from 1978 still does not have a CBS copyright nor does Masterpieces, Slow Train Coming from 1979 does have the CBS copyright.)
Thanks to Stuart Moore, Peter Lindberg, Lars M. Banke and Manuel García Jara for information and scans.

This Australian cassette release can be dated to
1977 because of the Neil Diamond and James Taylor albums listed on the
outside of the insert, which is blank inside. The cassette is off-white with
light buff paper CBS labels and has Dolby noise reduction. Thanks to Stuart Moore for information and scans. |

The first of these two releases dates from before 1969, because the record labels still have the Allan's logo (Allan's were music publishers in New Zealand for Bob Dylan records between 1965 and 1969). The sleeve has three folded-over flaps on the back and was used for both mono and stereo releases, with the stereo copy shown having a "STEREO"/arrows logo sticker on the front.
The second release, CBS SBP 474241, dates from 1974 because the New Zealand release of Dylan in 1973 was SBP 474158 and the New Zealand release of Blood On The Tracks in early 1975 was SBP 474262. The labels no longer have the Allan's logo, and the rear sleeve gives the US catalogue number as KCS 9128 (1972 onwards, see above). This time the sleeve is stereo-specific, with a slightly different layout of the text elements and pictures on the rear. The sleeve was made in New Zealand by Phonogram Limited, Wellington, part of what was then Philips, later PolyGram, and now Universal. Both the records have orange CBS labels, but the layout of the text elements is quite different on the second record.

Sergio Mariano Romay's later commercial copy has some differences from Hans' commercial copy. On the top obi at front left the price (¥2,200) is printed in red, not a sticker. However, the rear of the top obi no longer has a price (not printed or a sticker). The price is also missing from the bottom edge of the rear sleeve at the end of the copyright text as shown in the detail scan. The record of this copy has the same labels as Hans' copy but different stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - SOPL-224 A1 1A1, Side 2 - SOPL-224 B1 1B2.

CBS/Sony 25AP 272 was the third Japanese release in 1976 after Hard Rain. It was released twice, first with a dark red, white and black obi, and secondly with a red, black and white obi. Both obis are numbered "5" and have price ¥2,500 (the "25" in the catalogue number indicates the price). It again had a 8 page booklet (not shown). The rear sleeve is dated 1976 at bottom left as shown below. The records have orange/cream CBS/Sony labels with matrix numbers: first release: Side 1 - 25AP-272 A1 1A3, Side 2 - 25AP-272 2B 1A3; second release: Side 1 - 25AP-272 A1 1B1, Side 2 - 25AP-272 1A8. |

This new stereo vinyl release from Sony Music Japan comes with a reproduction of the original first release obi from 1970. The price is now ¥4,180 whereas the original price was ¥1,800! It comes with a 60th Anniversary postcard commemorating Bob's debut on Columbia Records. The "60 Dylan" picture is based on a work by Hiroshige Utagawa (spot Bob and Suze). The Japanese script says "60 years since his debut album was released" (19 Mar 1962 in the USA, although not until 1966 in Japan). The original picture is called "Sudden Shower over Shin-Ohashi Bridge and Atake" and dates from 1857. | |||

The Spanish text below the Daniel Kramer photo at bottom right reads: “Grabado en Enero de 1965 en los estudios Columbia, Nueva York [Recorded in January 1965 in Columbia Studios, New York]”.
CBS S 62515 (Spain), 1975 re-release:
 CBS S 62515 (Spain) - front scan by Manuel García Jara (1975 release) |
The 1975 release of this album is the first Spanish Dylan release with a record with orange/yellow CBS labels. The sleeve is fully laminated and was again printed by Offset ALG of Madrid, still dated 1973. |

The front sleeve is identical to that of previous
releases but the
copyright text at bottom of the rear sleeve is different as shown. The CBS Spain
address is still Calle Princesa 1, Madrid-13, so the latest date the album could
be is early 1976. One strange feature is that the record labels do not have the
stereo arrows logo below "ESTEREO" to the left of the centre hole, like the
previous 1973 orange label releases and the subsequent orange/yellow releases
(1978, 1983) and even the red label releases (1989, 1991).
"Love Minus Zero" on Side 1 is not in italics, unlike the 1978 releases below.
The record of the copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - SBPG 62515 A2, Side 2
- SBPG 62515 B2.
Lars M. Banke has a 1975 copy with
a label variant with "33⅓"
centred below "ESTEREO" to the left of the centre hole. not aligned to the right
as label variant 1. However, the sleeve is the 1979-1980 version with the "Avenida
Generalissimo 25, Madrid 16" text at the bottom of the rear sleeve as below, so
may not be the original. The inner sleeve has song lyrics in English. The record
of this copy has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - 62515 A O, Side 2 - 62515 B O.

The album was re-released in 1978. The sleeve was again printed by Offset ALG of Madrid. The CBS logo is still at top left of the front sleeve. The text at the bottom of the rear sleeve is different from the 1973 release and is still dated 1972, although the printer information printed vertically at bottom right no longer includes a date.

It has orange/yellow CBS labels and "Love Minus Zero" on the Side 1 label is in italics on both variants. The first copy shown has the "SGAE" box between the catalogue number and the Spanish copyright information to the right of the centre hole on the Side 1 label. This copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - 62515 Aº, Side 2 - 62515 Bº. The second copy shown has the "SGAE" box immediately above the Spanish copyright information to the right of the centre hole on the Side 1 label. This copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - 62515 Aº, Side 2 - SBPG 62515 B2. The Side 2 record labels are identical.
CBS S 62515 (Spain), 1979-80 re-release:
 CBS S 62515 (Spain) - rear scan by Sergio Mariano Romay (1979-80 release) |
The front and rear sleeve of this copy are fully laminated. The front sleeve is the same as that shown for the 1975 and 1978 re-releases with the CBS logo with catalogue number "S 62515" above and “Estéreo” below, also at rear top right. The name and address of the printer is printed vertically at rear bottom right: "Offset ALG – San Raimundo, 31 – Madrid-20" (no date). The horizontal rear bottom text is completely different and no longer has the "1972" date. The Discos CBS S.A. address is again Avenida Generalísimo 25, Madrid-16. The song titles on the sleeve and the record labels are in English. There is an inner sleeve with lyrics in English (black text).

 CBS 32344 (Spain) - Side 2 scan by Manuel García Jara (1983 release variant 3, short circumference text) |
The record of
Lars' variant 1 copy has significantly different labels that must have been quickly
replaced. The circumference text is much longer. On both labels the album title
is misspelled as "BRINGIND IT ALL BACK
HOME". To the left of the centre hole there are no arrows under "ESTEREO" and
"33⅓"
is on a separate third line; To the right
of the centre hole "SGAE" under the new catalogue number is not in a box and "Depósito
Legal... 1983" is on the third line above the CBS copyright. In the Side 1 song
titles She Belongs To Me is misprinted as "SHE BELONG TO ME" and Love Minus Zero
No Limit is not in italics. The record of Lars' variant 2 copy has new labels. The
circumference text is the same as before. On both labels the album title is now correct.
To the left of the centre hole the arrows are back under "ESTEREO" and
"33⅓"
is on the second line; To the right of the
centre hole "SGAE" under the new catalogue number is back in a box and "Depósito
Legal... 1983" is missing so that the CBS copyright is the third line. In the
Side 1 song titles She Belongs To Me is now correct and "Love Minus Zero" is back in italics
(although not "No Limit
"). "Depósito Legal...
1983" is now on the bottom line of the labels below the song titles. The
record of this copy has stamped matrix
numbers: Side 1 - 62515 A, Side 2 - 62515 B. The record of Manuel's variant 3 copy has similar labels
to variant 2 with all the mistakes corrected. The circumference text is now
shorter because "Impuesto de lujo a metalico - Permiso Num. 5053" is now
missing.

 CBS 40-62515 (Spain) - cassette Side 2 scan by Manuel García Jara |
The cassette labels of this release are dated "1973" but the inside of the insert card has "1974". The cassette is off white with orange CBS paper labels. Although the spelling on the folded insert is correct, Bob Dylan is wrongly listed as "BOB DYLBN" at the top text line of the Side 1 cassette label and as "B. Dilan" as the composer on both labels. The artist name on the top text line of the Side 2 label is correct.

The cassette is white with orange text printed directly on to it, there are no paper labels. This tape has the same mistakes, repeated again and again on some Spanish LP and cassette releases: this time the titles are correct in the insert, but not on the cassette ("Maggie!s Farm", "It!s Alright, Ma" and "It!s All Over Now, Baby Blue"). As Manuel explains, this could be because the apostrophe does not exist in Spanish.
Thanks to Manuel García Jara for information and scans.

"Bringing It All Back Home" - stereo vinyl LP releases, CBS Sugar 62515 (Italy), 1975, re-released 1978:
 CBS Sugar 62515 (Italy) - front scan by Lars M. Banke (1975 release) |
Both these stereo releases were manufactured
in Italy by CBS Sugar, distributed by Messaggerie Musicali, Milan. The sleeves were printed by Reparto Tipolitografico. The rear of the
1975 stereo sleeve has two folded-over flaps. The rear of the 1978 stereo sleeve has no folded-over flaps. Both
records are dated
"1967" on the labels. Both copies shown have the
same front sleeve. The second CBS labels can be dated to 1978
because the text "MADE IN ITALY BY CBS SUGAR" now just says ""MADE IN ITALY BY
CBS", but still aligned as if "SUGAR" were present. Both records have an
"SIAE" Italian copyright stamp on the Side 1 label, although the one
on the 1978 Side 1 label (left of the centre hole) is hard to see. The
record of Andrea Brillo's 1975 copy has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - S
62515 - 1, Side 2 - S 62515 - B. Thanks to Lars M. Banke and Andrea Brillo for information and scans. |

The catalogue number of the first release is the same as the fifth Dutch release above, "CBS S 62515". The sleeve was made in Greece. It has Greek text on the rear sleeve and a printer code "MT 4961". (The mid-1970s Greek releases had a printer code "MT 49xx" on the rear sleeve at bottom right.) The first release record was made in Greece and has orange/yellow CBS labels with handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - S 62515-A, Side 2 - S 62515-B. The catalogue number on the labels is just "CBS 62515". Both labels have one line of circumference text and on the Side 2 label Mr. Tambourine Man is spelled correctly.
The second CBS S 62515 release comes in the same sleeve as the first, made in Greece. Both labels now have two lines of circumference text. On the Side 2 label, Mr. Tambourine Man on Side 2 is misspelled "MR. TAMBURINE MAN".

The record labels are similar to those of the second CBS S 62515 release. Both labels again have two lines of circumference text. On the Side 2 label, Mr. Tambourine Man on Side 2 is again misspelled "MR. TAMBURINE MAN" (it is correct on the first release CBS S 62515 Side 2 label). Lars M. Banke's copy of CBS 32344 has the same sleeve and record labels, and the record has the same matrix numbers.

"Bringing It All Back Home" - stereo vinyl LP, Discos CBS 137490 (Brazil), 1970s:
 Discos CBS 137490 (Brazil) - Side 1 scan from an Internet record dealer |
This album is said to be a picture disc edition of the Discos CBS Brazil release. However, as far as I know, no Dylan picture discs have ever been released by CBS or Columbia worldwide. These albums were made in Germany or Italy. For a "Canadian" picture disc release, see above. I have not found a genuine Discos CBS Brazilian vinyl release of Bringing It All Back Home. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information. |
