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 Columbia multi-packs, see International Album Releases (Regular) - Multi-Packs. |

US release (2CD), Columbia/Legacy C2K 65759, 12 Oct 1998 This album, recorded live with The Hawks (later The Band) at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, 17 May 1966, has had a long history before being finally released. The title refers to the fact that bootleg releases of the concert were erroneously attributed to the Royal Albert Hall, London, for many years. Columbia prepared a master of the concert in 1994, which was reportedly rejected by Bob because it was "too clean" and didn't reflect the audience's experience. At least one copy of this master on DAT found its way into the hands of bootleggers to become widely circulated as Guitars Kissing And The Contemporary Fix (the title of a chapter heading in Bob Dylan's book "Tarantula", see Questionable Releases). One track from this abandoned master, I Don't Believe You, was released in error on the recalled release of Biograph, see 1997. It's All Over Now, Baby Blue from this show was released on Biograph in 1985, so appears here in remastered form. |
|
This title was one of the fifteen Dylan albums scheduled for release in late 2003 as a hybrid CD/SA-CD, although it was subsequently dropped. This would have been playable both in stereo on an ordinary CD player and in perhaps in 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).
 Picture from eBay (Emidisc test pressing) |
The mono test pressing on an Emidisc recording blank with pink handwritten text plays at 33⅓ RPM and lasts 8:20. It is a mono occurrence of this performance with the famous "Judas!" shout and Bob's response, much bootlegged as from the "Royal Albert Hall" concert, and finally released in stereo in 1998. For more details, see 1966. |
 Label photo by Alex Greenway (I.B.C. test pressing) |
 Covering letter from Brian Carroll, photo by Alex Greenway (I.B.C. acetate) |
The I.B.C. mono acetate contains two tracks recorded live with The Hawks (later The Band) from the concert at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, 17 May 1966, finally released in 1998 as The Bootleg Series Vol. 4 - Bob Dylan Live 1966: The "Royal Albert Hall" Concert after years of being one of Dylan's most famous bootlegs. As well as Ballad Of A Thin Man, it includes Like A Rolling Stone with the infamous "Judas!" shout. The record was engineered by Brian Carroll at I.B.C. Recording Studios, 35 Portland Place, London, W1. It has a red I.B.C. generic label with black handwritten text and is accompanied by a covering letter from Brian authenticating the disc as the only copy. Brian has also signed the label. The owner Alex Greenway has researched Brian Carroll and confirmed he was indeed an engineer working for I.B.C. at the time the acetate was made. Again, for more details see 1966.
For Columbia LP-length acetates of the 1966 live performance with The Hawks, see International Album Releases (Dylan-only Compilations) 1965-69.
For performances included in 1991 on a CD with Il Dizionario del Rock, an Italian part-work magazine, which are probably from this concert, also see Questionable Releases.

For the complete story of Bob's 1966 Manchester concert, read "Like The Night: Bob
Dylan and the Road to the Manchester Free Trade Hall" by the late musician
and musicologist Dr. C P Lee (Helter Skelter
Books, UK, 1998), revised as "Like The Night (Revisited)" (Helter Skelter Books,
UK, 2004). My photo on the right shows alleged "Judas!" shouter Keith Butler being interviewed by BBC Radio presenter Andy Kershaw on stage at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, Jan 1999. The photo by Bleddyn Butcher at far right shows the assembled 17 May 1966 veterans with Dr. C. P. Lee at the back. |

This Limited Edition 2LP boxed set on heavyweight vinyl was released by Classic Records on behalf of Columbia.

The rear of the box misleadingly has "1985" as the original release date. The record labels also have "ORIGINALLY RELEASED 1985" at the bottom. The rear of the inner sleeves are correct.
The records have labels reproducing the mid-1960s Columbia US design. The records of my copy have handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - CK 65759-A, Side 2 - CK 65759-B, Side 3 - CK 65759-C, Side 4 - CK 65759-D, plus “BG” handwritten on Sides 1 and 4. (This indicates mastering engineer Bernie Grundman.)
Thanks to Renaud Depierreux for finding a copies on eBay numbered "0216" and "0309" which were part of a limited edition of 1000 available only through bobdylan.com.

2003:
The Classic Records web-site gives these the catalogue numbers "CK-65759-A"

although these do not appear anywhere on the items ("CK-65759-A" is the matrix
number of Side 1).

This test pressing was made for Classic Records by RTI (Record Technology Inc.) and dated 7-8 Aug 2006. Both discs come in plain white sleeves that were originally sealed by RTI. Each sleeve has a sticker with a barcode at front top left with text "BOB DYLAN/ROYAL ALBERT HALL/200 GRA" "TCCS 65759Q".

 Classic Records/ Columbia/Legacy CK 65759 (USA) - Record 1 sleeve scan by Gerd Rundel |
This very rare test pressing is unusual because it looks as if Classic Records made their own test pressings in addition to the RTI test pressings from Bruce Mulle above. Each record comes in a plain white cut-out sleeve with a printed sticker affixed to the sleeve at top right. Sides 1 and 3 have generic Classic Records labels without text while Sides 2 and 4 have plain white labels. The records have handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - CK 65759-A, Side 2 - CK 65759-B, Side 3 - CK 65759-C, Side 4 - CK 65759-D. In addition Sides 1 and 4 have "BG" handwritten.

that of the 1998 release above. There was also a release
Classic Records/Columbia/Legacy CK2-65759-1 in regular

 Insert scan by Gerd Rundel |
This promo release from Whitfield Street Mastering Studios, London is recorded on to a black/transparent commercial chrome cassette (probably a C120 since both CDs are longer than 45 mins). Side A has a white sticker with "Bob Dylan" but no album title, Side B has no stickers. There is also no album title on the insert, and Ballad Of A Thin Man is misprinted as "Ballad Of Ta Thin Man". The insert is blank on the reverse. Thanks to Gerd Rundel for information and scans. |

 Columbia/Legacy COL 491485 4 (NL) - front of slipcase, photo by Francisco Fernández García |
Manuel García Jara's copy of this single cassette release comes
with minimal artwork. The cassette was made in Holland and is transparent smoked
grey with white text, there are no paper labels. However, Francisco Fernández García's copy comes in a slipcase with a booklet. The slipcase has catalogue number COL 491485 4. As well as the catalogue number, the rear of the slipcase differs from the rear of the CD slipcase below in that the track listing has "SIDE ONE" and "SIDE TWO" instead of "DISC ONE" and "DISC TWO". The cassette of Francisco's copy is exactly as shown with the same insert. |

This promo set comes in two separate cassette boxes, one

identical with white cases and black labels with white text, there's nothing

This set comes in a slimline 2CD jewel case without a

the rear of the front booklet and the CDs. Bizarrely, the CDs have text
"ORIGINALLY RELEASED 1985" (the date It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
from this show was released on Biograph).
This must be a mistake, as Ian Woodward assures me no release of the
complete show was planned in 1985. Thanks to Arie de Reus for information and scans. |

The Taiwanese release of Live 1966 consists of a sealed US copy packaged inside an outer slipcase and then sealed again. Inside the outer slipcase is an extra 48-page Chinese language booklet in addition to the 56-page booklet normally included with the 2CD set. The Chinese booklet includes some never-before-seen pictures of Dylan, an essay in Chinese about Dylan’s career before 1966, and Chinese translations of all the lyrics of the songs that Dylan performed on 17 May 1966.
Thanks to Jeffy from Taiwan and Jack from Canada for information and scans.

 Columbia 2-491485 (Brazil) - front of outer slipcase |
This set comes in a
card slipcase and is part of a series of reissues of "Live" Columbia
albums (also including Bob Dylan At Budokan in this section and MTV Unplugged, see 1995).
It has a single width 2CD jewel case. The album packaging is minimal, with
just the front picture and track listings, no other album artwork.
The rear insert is plain on the reverse, the front insert has just the
tracklisting. The CDs are plain red with just the title in silver, again
truncated to "LIVE 1966". As can be seen, the inside of the front insert has only the tracklisting with Brazilian copyright numbers, there is no other information. Thanks to Alexandre Froemming for this album. |
