Nashville Skyline (1969)

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.

New Morning (1970)

<-

->

These releases have both LPs on a single CD. The front insert is a single folded card reproducing the artwork of the double LP gatefold sleeve, but with the inner pictures in black and white. The US/Canadian releases have no text on the front of the front insert, whereas the first European release (see below) covers the original front artwork with text. The first CD release of the album in the USA came in the "long box" shown.

The early 1990s Canadian copy shown from Jack from Canada has been signed by Bob on the front of the front insert. Jack obtained the autograph personally, so knows it is genuine!

Thanks to Jack from Canada and Hans Seegers for information and scans.

As can be seen, the first two European CDs themselves are identical apart from the centre markings. The first European CD has "CDCBS 467077" in the centre plus "MASTERED BY DADC AUSTRIA", the second European CD has a completely different centre. The third European CD again has "CDCBS 467077" in the centre but it does not have "MASTERED BY DADC AUSTRIA". This CD is unusual in that it has a new later catalogue number "471621 2" although the inserts still have "460112 2". It also has extra text to the right of the CD centre below the red panel and the song titles are listed differently, with extra text below them.

This later mid-priced CD is as far as I know the only CD release of this album in Japan. It has a black, red, white, blue and yellow obi in the "NICE PRICE LINE 15" series with price ¥1,800 (¥1,748 plus sales tax) and date "91-12-1". There is a folded front insert and a second insert which opens out (not shown). The CD is green with silver text.

Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and Wil Gielen for scans.

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, 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.
