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. |

 Original album sleeve |
Original US stereo LP, Columbia TC 37496, 12 Aug 1981. The "pop-art" front sleeve is by Pearl Beach, with the rear photograph of Bob contemplating a rose by Howard Alk. The original rear sleeve design using a Cadillac was withdrawn and was only used for the original 1981 Brazilian release, probably by mistake. Thanks to Yan Friis for scans of two test "slicks" for the US album sleeve - the first has the Cadillac rear sleeve (with the bar code missing) and the final front sleeve, the second has an earlier version of the final rear sleeve with the credits badly placed but with the final bar code and a rejected black text version of the front sleeve. The 1981 UK release used the black text version of the front sleeve, again possibly by mistake. This album is unique in that it's the only Bob Dylan album which has undergone a track change. This is because The Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar, a non-album 7" single B-side, was added to later releases of vinyl albums and the CD release. For singles with this song as the B-side, see 1981 (they're rarities because the A-side, Heart Of Mine, was an edit of the album version). For a promo 12" single, see US & International Stereo Singles & EPs 1980-83. The current US CD is shown for comparison with the album sleeve (on the CD front insert Bob's name is proportionally larger). Tracklisting: Side 1: Shot Of Love; Heart Of Mine; Property Of Jesus; Lenny Bruce; Watered-Down Love Side 2: The Groom’s Still Waiting At The Altar (from late 1981 only); Dead Man, Dead Man; In The Summertime; Trouble; Every Grain Of Sand. |

Out-takes from this album have been officially released as follows:
Acetates 1981: Yonder Comes Sin (R-0653) - Special Rider demo, out-take from Shot Of Love, recorded Rundown Studios, Santa Monica, CA, 27 Oct 1980, from Columbia/CBS US/UK acetates, see 1981
 |
7" Singles: The Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar
(added to later vinyl and tape releases as track 1, Side 2, and to CD releases as track 6); Let It Be Me (single B-side
- Shot Of Love out-take recorded May 1981 - not
the 1970 Self Portrait version) Thanks to Dag Braathen for finding this article on page 30 of the "The Sun", Lowell, MA, for 31 Dec 1981 reviewing the year's music. A paragraph about Shot of Love states that The Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar had already been added to new pressings of the album. Information elsewhere on the Internet and in reference books that The Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar was not added to Shot of Love until after it had been released on Biograph in 1985 is not correct, even though the liner notes for Biograph say the song had previously only been released as a single. The revised release of Columbia PC 37496 below does not have the upside-down triangle in a circle symbol on Side 1 that was added to all Columbia records and cassettes from 1985 onwards. Also, the mid-1980s release of Columbia C 37496 (the third release of the album) below does not have this symbol either. |

Biograph (1985): Caribbean Wind
The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3 (1991): Angelina; Need A Woman; You Changed My Life
The Bootleg Series Vol. 16 - Springtime In New York 1980-1985 (2021): Angelina (alternate take); Price Of Love; I Wish It Would Rain; Let It Be Me (international 7" single B-side as above); 5 Cold, Cold Heart; Don't Ever Take Yourself Away*; Fur Slippers**; Borrowed Time; Is It Worth It?; Lenny Bruce (Alternate Mix); Yes Sir, No Sir.
*Don't Ever Take Yourself Away is listed as rarity R-0897 in 2011 when it was released on the soundtrack of the CBS release Hawaii Five-O: Original Songs From The Television Series. It is on the 2CD/2LP Standard Edition, but Sonny Boy McFitzson points out that the 2011 version has a possibly overdubbed steel drum intro not present on the original out-take to be found on bootleg albums. R-0897 may therefore remain a rarity. This song was also released with revised lyrics by Nikki Jean on her 2011 S-Curve US album Pennies In A Jar as Steel And Feathers (Don't Ever), see Starlight In The East: Bob Dylan's Unreleased Songs.
**Fur Slippers was short-listed for The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3 in 1991. It was covered by B. B. King on the soundtrack of the 1999 CBS TV mini-series Shake Rattle And Roll (Uni/MCA records, USA) and also by The Crudup Brothers (the sons of Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup) on their 2000 album Franktown Blues (Warehouse Creek Recording Corporation, USA), also see Starlight In The East: Bob Dylan's Unreleased Songs.
Vinyl and Tape Releases
"Shot Of Love" - stereo vinyl test pressing, Capitol Records (no catalogue number) (USA), 1-26 Jun 1981:
 Capitol Records generic 12" test pressing sleeve, scan by Arie de Reus (dated 26 Jun 1981) |
These test pressings manufactured by Capitol Records on behalf of Columbia Records consist of two separate
acetate LPs in Capitol Records generic sleeves. Side 1 of Arie de Reus' copy is dated 10 Jun 1981, Side 2 is dated
18 Jun 1981, and the sleeves are dated 26 Jun 1981 (all in UK date format). Side 1 is unique in that it has a rarity on the reverse side, a mono version of the title track Shot Of Love only (R-0644). It's possible that this is a mistake, abandoned after the first track. There is nothing on the reverse of the Side 2 disc. This entry is also listed in 1981. Bruce Mulle has a second acetate of Side 2, in the same Capitol sleeve, this time dated 10 Jun 1981 (again in UK date format) in the same handwriting. The Side 2 label is different, coming from Precision Lacquer (which was based in Hollywood, CA) and dated "6/1/81" (1 Jun 1981 in American date format). Thanks to Arie de Reus and Bruce Mulle for information and scans. |

"Shot Of Love" - stereo vinyl LP release, Columbia TC 37496 (USA), 12 Aug 1981, reissues with extra track: Columbia PC 37496 (USA), late 1981, Columbia C 37496 (USA), mid-1980s:
The first release of the album, Columbia TC 37496, has four tracks on Side 2 of the record, which comes in a printed inner sleeve with handwritten musician credits, reportedly by backing singer Clydie King, who also did the lettering for the withdrawn rear sleeve. The front of the inner sleeve is black with the text in white, the rear is white with the text in black. The inner sleeve rear has a lip at the top so it is higher than the front.
This album was released later in 1981 (despite what it says on the Internet) as Columbia PC 37496 with The Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar added to the album as the first track on Side 2. The rear sleeve now has the extra track listed at bottom right, and there is a different barcode on the rear sleeve at top right without hyphens. The record of Gil Lamont's second release album has matrix numbers: Side 1 - AL 37496 (HXAD) PAL-37496 G1A, Side 2 - BL 37496 P (BXAD) BL-37496 G2C. This record has a plain paper inner sleeve, presumably because Columbia did not want to redesign the printed inner sleeve.
The sleeve of Gerd Rundel's third release copy from the mid-1980s (again before Biograph in 1985) has “PC 37496” on the spine while the record labels have just “C 37496”. Side 2 of the record again has The Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar as track 1. The record again comes in a plain white inner sleeve and the copy shown has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - (HXAD) PAL-37496 G1A, Side 2 - <BXAD> BL 37496 G2C.
Stuart Moore has a copy of the US songbook, which does not include The Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar.
Thanks to David Plentus, Stuart Moore, Yan Friis, Gil Lamont, Stuart Moore and Gerd Rundel for information and scans.

The first copy shown of the Columbia US release was bought in Stockholm, Sweden, and has two instances of "Columbia" on the rear sleeve erased with black marker pen.

The barcode at top right on the rear sleeve is the same as that of Gerd Rundel's third release copy above. Side 2 of the record has The Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar as track 1. The rear sleeve has a "Sounds-Express" sticker from a West German record store and also a plain white sticker over the spine hiding "Columbia". The record comes in a plain white inner sleeve and has orange ring-shaped "Sounds-Express" stickers covering the "Columbia" logos. The record of the copy shown has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - (HXAD) PAL-37496 G1A, Side 2 - <BXAD> BL 37496 G2D. | ||||

"Shot Of Love" - 8-track stereo cartridge release, Columbia TCA-37496 (USA), 12 Aug 1981:
 Columbia TCA-37496 (USA) - upper side scan by Hans Seegers |
8-track was a
continuous tape cartridge format, with four stereo "programs" per tape.
This release has a dark grey tape cartridge with two separate labels - the
rear label overlaps the spine. As far as I know this is the last Bob Dylan 8-track release!
|
 Columbia TCA-37496 (USA) - under side photo by Keith Venturoni |
The tracklisting has been revised to make the four programs of equal length:
Program 1: Shot
Of Love; Heart Of Mine; Property Of Jesus (Part 1)
Program 2:
Property Of Jesus (Conclusion); Dead Man, Dead Man; In The Summertime
Program 3:
Lenny Bruce; Watered-Down Love; Shot Of Love (Reprise)
Program 4:
Trouble; Every Grain Of Sand
As well as the split Property Of Jesus, an oddity is Shot Of Love (Reprise) at the end of Program 3 - this is faded at 1:55 and must have been added to make up the program time. As these are both rarities, this album has also been added to 1981.
Thanks to Keith Venturoni for information and the photo, and to Hans Seegers for scans.
"Shot Of Love" - stereo cassette releases, Columbia TCT 37496 (USA), Aug 1981; Columbia PCT 37496 (USA), mid-1980s:

The 1981 release has a double-sided insert, the reverse of the insert has details of other Columbia artists cassette releases. The 1981 cassette is light grey with black text, there are no paper labels. The mid-1980s insert is blank on the reverse. The cassette is again light grey with black text, there are no paper labels. The Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar has been added to Side 2 as the first track. However, if the album was actually updated in late 1981, as described above, this second cassette release may be earlier than mid-1980s. Thanks to Gerd Rundel for information and scans. |

This very rare radio station LP has a selection of songs from the Shot Of Love album on Side 1 (all of Side 1 of the regular album except Lenny Bruce), and songs from Art Garfunkel's 1981 album Scissors Cut on Side 2. It came in a plain white paper sleeve. |

For an AFRTS single LP release of The Concert For Bangladesh by George Harrison and Friends, see 1972. For 1970s albums in the same AFRTS series with Bob Dylan on one side and different artists on the other, see International Albums (Various Artist Compilations) 1970s. The 1978 AFRTS single LP release of Bob Dylan At Budokan (RL 21-9/P-18371-72) is not listed there because all tracks on both sides are by Bob Dylan. For that see the Bob Dylan At Budokan page in this section.

"Shot Of Love" - stereo vinyl LP release, Columbia TCX 37496 (Canada), 12 Aug 1981:
 Columbia TCX 37496 (Canada) - front scan by Gerd Rundel |
The sleeve and record of this album were manufactured in Canada. The sleeve has “LITHO IN CANADA” on the spine. Although the Canadian releases of Slow Training Coming and Saved had barcodes, this later release does not have a barcode on the rear sleeve at top right. The record comes in an inner sleeve and has red labels with a ring of Columbia logos. The copy shown has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - AL-37496-1A-2HZ:, Side 2 - BL-37496-1C-2HZ:. Was this album reissued in Canada with the extra track? Thanks to Gerd Rundel for information and scans. |

The front sleeve of the UK album is immediately noticeable as different from the US album - the US album title is in white lettering (see above), whereas the UK sleeve has the title in black as per the rejected front design (see above). Hans Seegers informs me the UK was the only country in the world where this sleeve variation was used!
The record itself is in a stiff paper inner sleeve, with the same song information and credits on both sides: black on white on the front and white on black on the rear, which has two fold-over flaps. It has orange/yellow labels with catalogue number "S CBS 85178" and the record of my copy has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - S-CBS-85178-A1, Side 2 - S-CBS-85178-B2.
As far as I know the UK did not reissue the vinyl album with The Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar added to the album as the first track on Side 2, although it was added to a later cassette release, see below.
Thanks to Éamonn Ó Catháin for scans of the Irish release. It has the UK sleeve but the record itself was made in Ireland with a different text layout for the song titles and copyrights.

The first release from 1981 has the original UK LP front design with the album title in black, the mid-1980s release has the same cassette but the album title is now white. Thanks to Paul Shenton for also noticing the difference at the tops of the front album graphics between the fronts of the 1981 and mid-1980s inserts!
The Columbia UK stereo cassette release in the "Collector Choice" series dated 1993 has the additional track The Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar as track 1 on Side 2. The album title is again white. The cassette insert is blank on the inside. The cassette is transparent grey with white text, there are no paper labels.
All the cassettes have Dolby Digital noise reduction.

"Shot Of Love" - stereo vinyl LP release, CBS 85178 (Italy), Sep 1981:
 CBS 85178 (Italy) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
The Italian release of CBS 85178 again has the same front sleeve as the US
release. The record has
orange/yellow CBS
labels
and the copy shown has written matrix numbers: Side 1 - CI 85178-1L
10-9-81 (mastering date 10 Sep 1981), Side 2 - CI 85178-2L 15-9-81
(mastering date 15 Sep 1981).
Previous Dylan Italian releases were made by CBS Sugar, and the offset
positioning of "MADE IN ITALY BY CBS" at the bottom of the record label
looks as if "SUGAR" has been removed. (See the Italian releases of Pat
Garrett & Billy The Kid, where the first release has "SUGAR" and the
second doesn't.) Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. |

"Shot Of Love" - promo and commercial stereo vinyl LP releases, CBS S 85178 (Spain), 1981 (twice); special edition, CBS 59790 (Spain), 1981:
CBS S 85178 (Spain), 1981 (twice):
 CBS S 85178 (Spain) - front scan by Manuel García Jara (promo and commercial releases) |
The Spanish release of CBS S 85178 again has the same front
sleeve as the US release. The sleeve and
inner sleeve were printed in Spain by Offset ALG of Madrid, and the Discos
CBS address shown is
now Paseo de la Castellana 93, Madrid-16
(see Saved for
the previous address). The record was also made in Spain. It had
orange/yellow CBS labels and the matrix numbers of the copy shown are: Side
1 - 85178-A, Side 2 - 85178-B. Lars M. Banke has a copy of the album in the same sleeve but where the text layout on the record labels to the right of the centre hole is different (see detail scans). The order of the copyright text lines is changed, and is the same as the text lines to the right of the centre hole on the record labels of the special edition below. This was one of the very few Spanish Dylan releases where white label promo copies were issued. The promo release had exactly the same sleeve as the commercial release and the record had the same matrix numbers. |

CBS/Suzy 85178
(Yugoslavia) - Spine scan by Manuel García Jara (1981 release - "Short Of Love",
alternate 1981 release and 1982 releases are correct)
This album was manufactured in Yugoslavia for CBS Records by Suzy Records of Zagreb (now in Croatia). The front sleeve is the same as the US album with white title text. The 1981 record has orange/yellow CBS labels dated 1981. The spine of Manuel's 1981 copy has a misprint - "Short Of Love"! Ronald Born has a 1981 copy where the text "STEREO" and "33 RPM" is missing to the left of the centre hole on both labels. The spine of this copy is correct.
The 1982 copy shown has slightly different Yugoslav text at centre bottom of the rear sleeve. There is also a number written in blue marker pen on the front sleeve, but this may just be a record store or collector's marking. The labels are dated "1982" and the album title is printed above the centre hole plus other minor differences. The record was now pressed by Jugoton, also of Zagreb. Unfortunately the spine of the 1982 copy is damaged, but there appears to be no misspelling of the album title. The record comes in the standard inner sleeve. The record of the 1982 copy shown has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - ULP 983 A SB 19 4 82, Side 1 - ULP 983 AB SB 19 4 82 (19 Apr 1982 must be the mastering date)

white title text. It has the same inner sleeve as the UK release above.
The promo release has a stamp on the rear sleeve and white promo CBS
labels. The commercial record has orange/yellow CBS labels. This was the
first Australian Dylan album to be released with songs credited to

This release has minimal artwork with just a crop of the front sleeve
and track titles. The 1982 cassette has a white case and pink CBS paper labels. Songs are credited to "Chappell". This appears to have been the last Dylan Australian cassette release with paper labels, the Infidels cassette from 1983 no longer has them. The mid-1980s cassette comes with exactly the same insert but the cassette is now off-white with blue text, there are no paper labels. The blue text printed on the cassette sides is the same as that printed in black on the labels of the 1981 release. Thanks to Stuart Moore for information and scans |

"Shot Of Love" - stereo vinyl LP, CBS DNW 2658 (South Africa), Aug 1981, re-released mid 1980s:
 CBS DNW 2658 (South Africa) - front scan by Manuel García Jara (both releases) |
This album was marketed and distributed
in South Africa for CBS Records by the Gramophone Record Co. (part of EMI).
The sleeve was printed in South Africa by Interpak. On the 1981 release the CBS catalogue number
and other details are printed in white and hardly visible on the rear sleeve.
Lars M. Banke has noticed that
on
the spine of the South African 1981 release the album title is listed as
“Hot of Love”. This error was corrected on the mid-1980s sleeve. It has the standard inner sleeve with song details, musician and other credits on both sides. The 1981 record has orange/yellow CBS labels and the 1981 copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - AL-37596 DNW-2658, Side 2 - BL-37596 DNW-2658. ("A/BL 37596" is incorrect, it should be "A/BL 37496".) |

Sergio Mariano Romay has a later copy with an improved rear sleeve where the CBS catalogue number and other details at rear top right are now easily readable. The CBS logo and catalogue number are printed entirely on the blue top strip, and the other details are now printed in black. The Side 1 record label is the same as for the 1981 release, but the circumference text is missing on the Side 2 label. This may be a printing error specific to this copy. The record of the copy shown has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - AL 37496 DNW 2658 (on one line), Side 2 - BL 37496 DNW 2658 (on two lines). These matrix numbers are now correct.

"Shot Of Love" - stereo vinyl LP, CBS DNW 2658 (Zimbabwe), Aug 1981:
 CBS DNW 2658 (Zimbabwe) - front scan by Lars M. Banke |
This album was marketed and distributed in Zimbabwe for CBS Records by the Gramophone Record Co. (part of EMI). The sleeve was printed in Zimbabwe by Belmont Printers of Bulawayo with a "4A" printer code at rear bottom right (Belmont Printers used codes starting with "4" for sleeves they printed for CBS Records, they used different codes for other record companies). The copy shown has a record store sticker on the rear sleeve from "MUSIC", Old Mutual Arcade, Abercorn Street - there were Abercorn Streets in Salisbury (now Harare) and Bulawayo, but Old Mutual Arcade was in Harare. As far as I know there was no printed inner sleeve. The record has orange/yellow CBS labels and the copy shown has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - AL-37496 DNW 2658, Side 2 - BL-37496 DNW 2658. These matrix numbers are also correct. The bottom text is missing on the Side 1 record label. |

 CBS/Sony 25AP 2105 (Japan) - promo LP front with obi, scan by Hans Seegers (promo and commercial releases) |
This album has a six-page fold-out booklet with lyrics. It has a black/yellow obi with price ¥2,500. The front sleeve is the same as the US album with white title text. The back of the obi shows the four previous Dylan albums. The record has red CBS/Sony labels with yellow "CBS/Sony" logos in a ring around the circumference. The promo album is distinguished by a white "Sample" sticker on the rear sleeve, and by the labels, which have a promo stamp with three Japanese characters indicating "SAMPLE" to the right of the centre hole above "Side A" or "Side B". Thanks to Wil Gielen for scans of a 4-page leaflet in Japanese and English accompanying his promo copy. The record comes in the usual inner sleeve with credits in English.

orange CBS/Sony labels. Scans required! Thanks to Sonny Boy McFitzson for information and pictures. |

"Shot Of Love" - stereo vinyl LP release, CBS/Sony 25AP 2105 (Hong Kong), 1981:
 CBS/Sony 25AP 2105 (Hong Kong) - front scan by Manuel García Jara |
This release with the Japanese catalogue number was made in Hong Kong. The sleeve is
made of heavy cardboard: the front design is printed on the sleeve, but the
rear is a sheet of printed paper pasted on to it. This rear is almost
identical to that of the Japanese commercial release except for the Hong
Kong details on the left just above the roses; it even has the Japanese text at bottom
right. The album also
includes a single-sided insert with lyrics in English and the same inner
sleeve with credits as in the Japanese release. Thanks to Manuel García Jara for information and scans. |

"Shot Of Love" - promo and commercial stereo vinyl LP releases, CBS/Sony KJPL-0257 (South Korea), 1981:
 CBS/Sony KJPL-0257 (South Korea) - front scan by Lars M. Banke (both releases) |
The rare promo album was made by Jigu Records in South Korea on behalf of CBS/Sony Japan and has the standard US front. On the rear sleeve the song titles are translated into Korean. The rear sleeve credits still have the Japanese information. The record of this copy has white promo CBS/Sony labels. The commercial copy was also made by Jigu Records and comes with the usual printed inner sleeve (still with the Japanese catalogue number) has an attached four-page lyrics insert with text in South Korean and lyrics in English, making six pages in all. The record has red commercial CBS/Sony labels and the copy shown has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - KJPL 0257 A, Side 2 - KJPL 0247 B. |

"Shot Of Love" - stereo vinyl LP releases, CBS/Sony LP-1544 (Philippines), 1981:
 CBS/Sony LP-1544 (Philippines) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
These rare releases were manufactured in the Philippines for CBS/Sony Japan by Blackgold Records. The front design uses the US-style design with white text and a small "BOB DYLAN". The sleeve of Hans Seegers' copy shown is still in the shrink wrap. Hans' record has red CBS/Sony Masterworks labels with a ring of logos round the circumference. |

 CBS/Sony LP-1544 (Philippines) - detail of Side 2, scan by Gerd Rundel (regular release) |
Gerd Rundel's copy has the same sleeve but the record has completely different labels:
“MASTERWORKS” is missing from the top of the labels
the song titles are left-aligned instead of being centred
“EVERY GRAIN OF SAND” is misspelled “EVERYGRAIN OF SAND” on Side 2
Side 2 has only one song listed above centre hole and “TROUBLE” is listed as “T R O U B L E”
The record of Gerd's copy has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - LP-969-A, Side 2 - LP-969-B.
The rear sleeve also shows a secondary catalogue number of "TC-37946", see the detail scan above. This catalogue number is a mistake as the LP barcode and record labels both have catalogue number "37496". Thanks to Paul Shenton for pointing this out.
Thanks to Klaus Eklund for information and to Hans Seegers and Gerd Rundel for further information and scans.

"Shot Of Love" - stereo vinyl LP release with alternate rear sleeve, Discos CBS 138.507 (Brazil), 1981:
 Discos CBS 138.507 (Brazil), front sleeve - scan by Hans Seegers |
The front sleeve is the same as the US album with white title text, but the rear sleeve has the picture of the Cadillac car! The car is the original design for the rear album sleeve with lettering reported to be by Clydie King. It was withdrawn at the last minute to be replaced by the design with Bob contemplating a rose (see above), but for some reason the first pressings of Shot Of Love by CBS Brazil went out with the rejected design. This is a much sought-after variant. |

Jim Siddy points out that the sleeve does not have a flattened spine, and therefore there is no album title or other text on the spine. There is also an inner sleeve, which has a slight cut-out at centre front to make removal of the record easier. The record has orange/yellow Discos CBS labels. Both the sleeve and the record were made in Brazil. Gerd Rundel's copy has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - 138507-A, Side 2 - 138507-B.

"Shot Of Love" - test pressing, promo and commercial stereo vinyl LP releases, CBS/Columbia 20.251 (Argentina), 1981:
 Columbia 20.251 (Argentina) - front photo by Sergio Magnacca (promo and commercial releases) |
The Argentinean stereo vinyl test pressing of this 1981 album comes in a white card CBS promo sleeve with a sticker with the album details and song titles in Spanish. Amusingly, Watered-Down Love is mistranslated as "Amor Submarino" (or "Underwater Love")! A more correct translation of "watered-down" is "diluido" (diluted) as on the Mexican Side 1 label above. The Discos CBS record labels have typed text and promo stickers with text "DISCO PARA DEMONSTRACIÓN/VENTA PROHIBIDA [DEMONSTRATION RECORD/SALE PROHIBITED]". The test pressing record has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - AL 37496, Side 2 - BL 37496. |

The promo release of this album has a sticker on the back which again says "Disco para demostración/Venta prohibida", this time in upper/lower case. This text is also stamped on the record labels above the album title in upper case only, as on the stickers on the test pressing labels. The song titles and credits are translated into Spanish on the rear sleeve and record labels (now changed from CBS to Columbia). Watered-Down Love is again mistranslated as "Amor Submarino". The Argentinean 7" single release with Dead Man, Dead Man as the A-side and Watered-Down Love as the B-side, Discos CBS DEP 200, also has the same mistake, see International Singles: Singles & EPs 1980-83. The matrix numbers of both the promo and commercial copies shown are again: Side 1 - AL 37496, Side 2 - BL 37496. The commercial release of the album is identical but without the promo sticker on the sleeve and printed text on the record labels.

"Shot Of Love" - stereo cassette releases, Columbia 60.251 (Argentina), 1981, re-released late 1980s:
 Columbia 60.251 (Argentina) -outside of cassette insert, scan by Sergio Mariano Romay (1981 release) |
These two cassette releases from
Argentina have exactly the same folded card insert, blank on the inside.
Both inserts have the Dolby noise reduction system name and logo, even
though the 1981 cassette does not have noise reduction. The 1981 cassette is
grey with orange/white Columbia labels with the song titles in Spanish only.
The cassette case is sealed, so cannot be opened. The late 1980s cassette now has Dolby noise reduction. The cassette is light grey with orange text printed directly on to it, there are no paper labels. The song titles are again in Spanish only. This time the case can be opened, as there are four screws on Side 1. Thanks to Sergio Mariano Romay for information and scans. |

This album was made in Colombia and has the standard front sleeve with white text. Hans Seegers has a copy with promo text stamped on the rear sleeve. The record of this copy has orange/yellow CBS labels with a promo stamp on each side. Simon Blokker also has a promo copy with stamps on the record labels as shown, although the promo text on the rear sleeve is very faint and unreadable.
Sergio Mariano Romay has a commercial copy of the album. The record is in a transparent plastic bag and has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - COLOMBIA 141521 A 5-XI-81, Side 2 - COLOMBIA 141521 B 5-XI-81. ("5-XI-81" is the mastering date, 5 Nov 1981.)

The Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar is listed on both the rear sleeve and the Side Two label. However, the inner sleeve layout (not shown) has not been adjusted to include any reference to the extra track. The inner sleeve has the original black/white colour scheme. It is now a side opener rather than the original UK and Irish top opener. The album includes a "We Are Vinyl" download card. The record has US-style Columbia labels and matrix numbers: Side 1 - MRP 0986/8985451011-A plus 163850E1/A opposite, Side 2 - MRP 0986/8985451011-B plus 163850E2/A opposite.
Éamonn says it is an immaculate pressing with superb sound.

Columbia CK 37496 (USA), late 1980s, re-released 1990s:
 Columbia CK 37496 (USA) - front scan by Gil Lamont (1980s release) |
As far as I know the 1990s releases are still on sale in the USA and Canada. All CD
versions of this album have The Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar as track
6. The front insert is a single folded card. The 1990s CD release has a different barcode on the rear insert and different copyright text at the bottom of the CD. The 1990s CD also has "DIDP 07522" to the right of the centre hole underneath the catalogue number, missing on the 1980s CD. Both CDs have the inverted triangle to the left of the centre hole, introduced on records, cassettes and CD with Biograph in 1985. |

|
These CD releases were made in Austria for the European market. The 1990s release, Columbia 467839 2, has a "Nice Price" sticker on the front of the jewel case and some differences from the current CD:
The tracklist is repeated on the reverse of the front insert.
On the inside of the front insert it has "Mastered for compact disc by Vic Anesini of CBS Records Studio N.Y."
Only one song is listed above the centre hole on the CD itself.
The current CD release, Columbia COL 474689-2, has been on sale since 2002. On Hans Seegers' copy of this album the front sleeve has a very strange colour balance (it's not a negative image or the album title would be black). Compare it to the US and Canadian CD releases above. The insert for my copy has the expected colours! Confusingly, the front insert Gerd Rundel's copy of COL 474689-2 has the same outside as mine without the tracklist on the rear, but it has the mastering information on the inside at bottom right as shown for the 1990s copy.

This release in Columbia's "Collectors Choice" UK 1993 series includes The Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar. It seems to be the only Dylan release in this series and has a unique catalogue number "983 338 2", unrelated to the "474689-2" catalogue numbers that came before and after. The photo of Bob with the rose appears to be missing.

"Shot Of Love" - CD release, Columbia CK 37496 (Australia), 1990s (two releases):
 Columbia CK 37496 (Australia) - front scan by Stuart Moore (first release) |
Stuart Moore's copy was the first release on sale in Australia - it looks
exactly the same as the US release and there's no mention of Australia on
the inserts or the CD. Compared with the US CD, this CD has the "DIDP"
information under the "CK 27496" to the right of the centre hole and extra
text at the bottom of the disc outside the black rings. The "DIDP" number
(Digital Identification Popular) is a code used by Sony DADC (Digital Audio
Disc Corporation) on CDs pressed in Terre Haute, IN, or one of their other
CD plants in the USA, from 1983 onwards (Classical CDs had "DIDC").
Keith Schweiger's copy is a later release with a new red CD design that does
mention Australia. The inserts look identical apart from colour shading. Thanks to Stuart Moore for information and scans. |

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 "88691924312JK24" plus "DISC 28". The CD includes The Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar, added in the mid-1980s, although the rear sleeve is the original 1981 design, so it isn't listed on Side 2. The CDs are different in detail, the US Shot of Love CD has catalogue number "88691924312D28", whereas the European CD has catalogue number "88691924312-28". 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.
