 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.

"Blood On The Tracks" - CD release: CBS/Sony
30DP 306 (Japan), 
1 Apr 1985, re-released 1989; 
CD "Nice Price" reissue, 
Sony Records SRCS 6167 (Japan), 1991:
  
    
      
      
        
      CBS/Sony
30DP 306 (Japan) - front with obi, scan by Hans Seegers (1985 release) | 
    
       
      
      CBS/Sony 30DP 306 was one of the first Bob Dylan CDs released in Japan. The 
      CD had a 
      yellow, black,
      red and white shaped card obi with a top flap and a price of 
      
      ¥3,000 (indicated by the "30" in the catalogue number - there was no sales 
      tax in 1985). The album was released in 1989 after the introduction of 
      sales tax with a new obi price of
      ¥2,812 (¥2,730 before sales tax). The rear insert showed the first David 
      Oppenheim picture (see above) plus a tracklisting. There was a 32 page 
      booklet. The CD was silver with black text. 
      
      The
      later mid-priced CD has a 
      black,
red, white, blue and yellow paper obi with the
      price 
      ¥1,800.
      The rear insert shows the second picture by David Oppenheim (see above)
      with the tracklisting superimposed. There was a 24 page booklet. The CD itself is green with silver
      writing. It is actually a promo, but the only indication are small 
      Japanese characters indicating a promo
      in the clear centre of the CD (not visible on the scan). 
      
      Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans.

"Blood On The Tracks" - CD  release, 
Columbia CK 33235 (USA), 
mid 1980s:
  
    
      
    
Columbia CK 33235 (USA) - front of 
    "long box", scan by Hans Seegers | 
    The first CD release of the album in the USA came in the "long box" 
    shown. Although it says "Now Made In The U.S.A." on the rear, the disc was 
    made in Japan. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans.  |

"Blood On The Tracks" - CD release, 
Columbia CK 33235 (USA), 
1990s:
  
    
      
    
    Columbia CK 33235 (USA) - front with "Best Value" sticker, 
    scan by Moise Potié | 
    
 This CD release, bought by me on a visit to the USA, is an attempt to 
    restore the original artwork and includes the Pete Hamill sleeve notes. The 
    front insert folds out into a square with the third US rear sleeve design 
    (see above, white text instead of black) on the reverse.  
    The rear insert repeats the first David Oppenheim picture (see above) plus a 
    tracklisting. The
    background colours of the
    front and rear inserts are noticeably different, with the front insert 
    colour being dark red and the rear insert colour much more maroon. Sergio 
Mariano Romay has a copy bought in Argentina with a "SONY INTERNATIONAL" sticker 
on the rear insert. 
    The disc itself 
    was manufactured in Japan. 
    
    Thanks to Moise Potié and 
    Sergio Mariano Romay for 
    information and scans.  |

"Blood On The Tracks" - CD  release, 
Columbia VCK 33235 (Canada), 
mid 1980s (two releases); Columbia CK 33235 (Canada), 1988:
  
    
      
    
    Columbia VCK 33235 (Canada) - front scan by Jack from Canada (both releases) | 
    
 Columbia VCK 33235 was the first release of this album on CD in Canada. 
Manuel 
    García Jara's copy has exactly the same inserts as Jack from Canada's, but the 
CD now has "Made at SMC" (Sony Music Canada) below the Columbia logo to the left 
of the centre hole. This is missing from Jack's CD, 
which means it was probably imported from the USA or even Japan. 
The 
copy with catalogue number Columbia CK 33235 was bought in 1988. The CD doesn't 
have "Made at SMC" but it does have the inverted triangle to the right of the 
centre hole, introduced in the USA for LPs, cassettes and CDs with Biograph 
in 1985. 
Thanks to Jack from Canada, Moise Potié and 
    Manuel García Jara for information and 
    scans.  |

    These CD releases have a single folded card as the front 
    insert. They use the second rear picture by David Oppenheim on the reverse of 
    the front insert and on the rear insert, while the sleeve notes are missing. 
    CBS CDCBS 69097 was released twice, the first release had a CD made in Japan

and a barcode added to the rear insert.  |

The first copy of Columbia 467842 2 shown has a red CD tray and a "Nice Price" front sticker with "Dylan Originals: 
    30 Years on Columbia", which dates it as 1991. The next two releases of 
Columbia 467842 2 are from 1997 (as shown by the insert including The Best Of 
Bob Dylan and Time Out Of Mind) and from about 2000. The 1997 release 
has a clear CD tray and a detail of the front sleeve on the reverse of the 
rear insert. The 2000 release has a black tray and the reverse of the rear 
insert is blank. The numbers at bottom right of the rear inserts are different, 
as shown in the pictures, but the CDs are the same.
Thanks to Marc Kuszel and Keith Schweiger for 
    information and pictures.
"Blood On The Tracks" - CD releases, CBS CDCBS 69097 
(Australia), late 1980s; Columbia CDCBS 69097 (Australia), 
1990s (two releases); gold CD release: Columbia 
19075936032 (Australia), 17 May 2019:
    These CD releases are the same as the European releases 
    above and have a single folded card as the front 
    insert. They use the second rear picture by David Oppenheim on the reverse of 
    the front insert and on the rear insert, while the sleeve notes are again missing. 
    The two Columbia CDs differ in the placement of the "MANUFACTURED IN 
    AUSTRALIA..." text. They have the same inserts as the CBS release.
The 2019 "Gold Series" release has a new catalogue 
number, 19075936032. Again the old number is still on the CD and the inserts, 
although the new Sony Music logo has now been added to the rear insert.

       Columbia MILLEN16 (UK) - CD scan by Gerd 
    Rundel | 
  
  
This CD came in a card sleeve reproducing the artwork of the
      second US LP - see above. Presumably it was thought pointless to
      reproduce the original rear sleeve with notes by Pete Hamill, since they
      would be unreadable in this size. It has what appears to be the equivalent
      of a Japanese obi, denoting it's a Millennium Edition (there were several 
other CDs in this series including Blonde On Blonde and albums by other Columbia artists).
    It's
      just the standard commercial CD, not remastered even though Columbia was
      known to have remastered the album before then.

    Columbia/Sony Music Entertainment CH 90323 (USA) - promo insert scan by 
    Hans Seegers | 
    This CD-R for radio play only comes in a clear plastic wallet with a 
    single-sided paper insert 
    dated "7/18/2003". I assume because it was sent to radio stations 
    the CD-R has only the CD layer of the hybrid SA-CD release below. 
    Thanks to Hans Seegers for  information and 
    scans.  |

    Columbia CH 90323 (USA/Canada) - detail of rear of digipak
    There is an eight-page 
    booklet with the original sleeve notes and two unpublished pictures of Bob 
    from 1974. The picture on the rear of the booklet is the one used for the 
    European/Australian release The Best Of Bob Dylan Vol. 2 and the 
    exclusive Swedish release The Very Best Of Bob Dylan - for both see
    2000, as well as the 2CD set The Best Of 
    Bob Dylan Volumes 1 & 2, see 2001. The picture used on the rear insert of 1997's
    Time Out Of Mind also appears to be from this session. The SA-CD design reproduces the Columbia US 
    stereo vinyl label used in 1974.
    The booklet for the Canadian release has been 
    printed in Canada. My copy 
    also has the sticker shown for The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan on the 
    outside of the shrink-wrap.

    The European SA-CD is virtually the 
    same as the US/Canadian release, also with a gold disc and an 8-page 
    booklet. One noticeable difference is that the spine of the digipak is grey, 
    not maroon. The disc was made in Austria. |

    This hybrid SA-CD release of this album 
    in a digipak is in stereo only, not also in 5.1 
    surround sound as on the 2003 Columbia hybrid SA-CD release. It comes in a 
    folded card sleeve with a twelve page booklet. There is also a 
    Mobile Fidelity high quality recording released on heavyweight vinyl. 
    Manuel García Jara's copy must be a promo as there is no number printed on 
    the rear of the card sleeve. André Wilbers' copy has "No. 004402".  |

    This release is on a Blu-spec CD, an audio-only disc which 
    was presumably 
    intended to be Sony's new high quality audio format,  on sale in 
    Japan only. The copy shown is still 
    sealed, with a blue and white obi with price ¥2,500 (¥2,381 before tax). The 
    release date is shown as "09-1-21" (21 Jan 2009), the original release date 
    as "75-1-20" (20 Jan 1975) and the withdrawal date as "09-7-20" (20 Jul 
    2009). It's not actually a Blu-ray disc as it says on the sticker, but it is made using Blu-ray 
    technology. Thanks

"Blood On The Tracks" - remastered CD release in "The Vinyl 
Classics" series, 
Columbia 512350 5 (Europe)/Columbia 5123505000 (Australia), 2005:
This CD is a reissue of Columbia 512350 2 from 2004 above, 
    packaged in a "Vinyl Classics" slipcase. The CD itself is new, with a design 
    showing the 1990s Columbia LP, with an unusual black playing surface as 
    well. The front insert, an eight-page stapled booklet, is placed inside 
    the slipcase at the back of the jewel case so the design of the CD shows 
    through the cut-out in the insert. The catalogue number on the spine is Columbia 
    512350 2. In this release the first picture by David Oppenheim (see 
    above) is repeated on both sides of the rear insert.
Thanks to Stuart 
    Moore for scans of the Australian release. Thanks to Ian Woodward for 
finding a picture of a release with a rearranged front design.

    This CD is a reissue of Columbia 512350

    Argentinean journalists. The magazine and CD come in a special clear pack to 
    be hung on a display rack in a store. The CD and inserts were made in

"Blood On The Tracks"  - CD release, 
Columbia/Sony Music 88697 70339 2/5 (NL), 22 Apr 2010:
"The Complete Album Collection Vol. 
One" - 47CD boxed 
set, Columbia/Legacy/Sony Music 88691-92431-2 (USA), 5 Nov 2013/(Europe), 
4 Nov 2013; USB stick, 
Columbia/Legacy/Sony Music 88883-77314-5 (USA), 5 Nov 2013/(Europe), 
4 Nov 2013; Sony Music SICP 30471-30520 
(Japan), 26 Mar 2014 onwards:
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. 
Sadly, the rear sleeve of Blood On The Tracks is the second US design 
with the larger David Oppenheim painting, not the original rear with Pete 
Hamill's sleeve notes. 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 "88691924312JK16" 
plus "DISC 18" (because Blonde On Blonde and Before The 
Flood had two CDs each). The CDs are different in detail, the US
Blood On The Tracks CD has 
catalogue number "88691924312D18", whereas 
the European CD has catalogue number "88691924312-18". 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.
Thanks to Manuel García Jara for information and 
scans.

    30492 (Japan) - Blu-spec CD2 disc scan by 
    Manuel García Jara | 
  
This release comes as a Mini LP and a 
replica of the original US vinyl release. It comes in a card sleeve identical to 
that of the first US release. There is a maroon obi with white and black text. 
The CD itself, apart from the ring of Sony Music logos instead of a ring of 
Columbia logos, reproduces exactly Side 1 of the US record with the US catalogue 
number (PC 33235), matrix number (AL 33235) and the same typeface for the 
tracklist. For this reason, the Side 2 song titles are not printed on the CD.
Thanks to Manuel García Jara for information and 
scans.
