Modern Times

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. Two out-takes have been officially released: The Bootleg Series Vol. 8 - Tell Tale Signs (2008): Ain't Talkin' (alternate take); Someday Baby (alternate take) |

82876 87686 2 (European release is 28 Aug
2006) Thanks to Ian Woodward for the information that the album front photograph is by Ted Croner, taken in 1947 and entitled "Taxi, New York at Night". Thanks to Fred Muller for information that the 1995 Elektra album Penthouse by New Zealand/USA indie rock band Luna includes not only this photo on the rear of the front insert, but also two more photos from the same New York 1947 sequence by Ted Croner on the front of the front insert and the rear insert. Also shown is a photo of the Luna line-up in 2015. |

Tracklisting: Thunder On The Mountain; Spirit On The Water; Rollin' And Tumblin'; When The Deal Goes Down; Someday Baby; Workingman's Blues #2; Beyond The Horizon; Nettie Moore; The Levee's Gonna Break; Ain't Talkin'.
Bonus DVD: Blood In My Eyes (Promo Video, 1993), Love Sick (Live "Grammy®" Version, 1998, with gatecrasher "Soy Bomb" edited out); Things Have Changed ("Wonder Boys" Promo Video, 2000); Cold Irons Bound ("Masked And Anonymous" version, 2002). The Apple iTunes Online Music Store in the USA is offering a bonus of these four performances. In Europe only the Things Have Changed video was offered. The 1983 Jokerman video was offered for pre-sales in both the USA and Europe, but is no longer available.
It's worth mentioning that three songs are not actually Dylan originals, his copyright credits are claimed probably for revised lyrics/new arrangements. Rolling and Tumblin' was first recorded as "Roll And Tumble Blues" by Hambone Willie Newbern in 1929 and also as Rollin' And Tumblin' by McKinley Morganfield (Muddy Waters) in 1950. The Levee's Gonna Break was recorded in 1929 as "When The Levee Breaks" by Kansas Joe and Memphis Minnie, while Someday Baby was recorded in 1935 as "Someday Baby Blues" by Sleepy John Estes and also as "Worried Life Blues" by Big Maceo Merriweather. McKinley Morganfield (Muddy Waters) recorded his version of this song as "Trouble No More", the title of Bob's Gospel Years Bootleg Series release, Nov 2017.
 New Lost City Ramblers, Smithsonian Folkways, USA, 1968 |
Although many people believe the album title was inspired by the 1936 Charlie Chaplin film, Rod MacBeath in "Looking Up Dylan's Sleeves Part 10" in "The Bridge" issue 55, Summer 2016, suggests that it may actually have been inspired by the 1968 Folkways album by the New Lost City Ramblers. |

Thanks to Graeme Jennings, Jean-Pol Hiernaux and Sonny Boy McFitzson for information.

This extremely unexpected item is a promo cassette from Sony
Music Japan International Inc. It's dated "2006/8/30". Michio Kinoshita
assures me that cassettes are still used for promotional purposes in Japan,
although I previously thought they'd been obsolete there for a couple of
decades! The cassette has a grey insert with text on both sides mostly
in Japanese. The cassette is black with grey CBS Japan promo labels. Thanks to Hervé from France for initial information and to Wil Gielen for further information and scans. |

 Columbia 8 2876894942 9 (USA) - Limited Edition long box edition front scan by Hans Seegers |
Because this Limited Edition contains rarities, it is also listed in 2006. This release (but not the Standard Edition) was also available in the USA in a long box. The US CD and DVD both have the FBI anti-piracy logo, missing from the European and Australian releases. The book-style pack with the CDs has a catalogue number of "82876 87686-2", the CD has catalogue number "82876 87606-2" (as shown in the detail scans) and the DVD has catalogue number CVD 94958. Jack from Canada's copy of the Limited Edition has a different front sticker from the one on Hans' long box, including the catalogue number "82876 87686 2-S1" (same as the book-style pack). |

 Columbia 82876883062 (Australia) - front scan with sticker by Martin Barrack |
Thanks to the late Martin Barrack and Bill Hester for scans of the Australian release, Columbia 82876883062 (the catalogue number on the spine of the book style packaging is Columbia "82876 88306 2" (with spaces). It appears that the packaging has been imported from the USA - it has the FBI anti-piracy logo, says the DVD is NTSC, and doesn't mention Australia. The wording on the yellow front sticker is slightly different from the US sticker. The CD and DVD are made in Australia and the CD has catalogue number Columbia 82876887602, while the DVD is correctly shown as PAL and has catalogue number Columbia 82876883062. |

Thanks to Jean-Pol Hiernaux for finding a
picture of the Japanese Limited Edition on eBay. It has a wraparound obi, a
Japanese lyrics booklet and an insert in Japanese describing the DVD. I have
since purchased a commercial copy, and Wil Gielen has provided scans of a
promo copy with a yellow numbered promo sticker on the rear of the
wraparound obi and "SAMPLE LOANED" in the clear centres of the CD and DVD.
The obi price is ¥3,150 (¥3,000
+ sales tax) and unusually there is no withdrawal date on the obi. Because this Limited Edition contains rarities, it is also listed in 2006. |

Thanks to Gerd Rundel for finding this promo CD-R on eBay. It has the US FBI Anti-Piracy logo, is dated 11 Aug 2006 and was sourced from a master dated 12 Jul 2006. The CD-R comes in a red generic Columbia card sleeve, cut out at the front to reveal the CD design. |

"Modern Times" - promo CD-R, Sony BMG (no catalogue number) (Colombia), Aug 2006(?):
 CD-R found by Gerd Rundel |
This "mega
rare" promo CD-R purporting to be from Colombia is almost certainly a fake,
so is listed in Questionable Recordings. Modern Times is from 2006, yet this is dated 2002! Sony & BMG did not merge until 2004, two years after this date. ABKCO records are distributed by Universal, and Bob has never had links to that company. Thanks to Gerd Rundel for finding this on eBay. |

|
Columbia 82876 87606 2 (USA) - front picture from Sony Music Store web-site |
This CD comes in a standard jewel case with a clear
plastic tray. The front insert is a single folded card. The band picture is
different from the one on the 2LP set, see above. The CD is copyrighted
2005, but the artwork is copyrighted 2006. The 2005 date must be a mistake.
Thanks to Ian Woodward for scans of a sealed US promo copy with a sticker
over the barcode on the rear. Servi Stevens has a copy of the US release without the FBI Anti-Piracy logo on the rear insert and CD - scans required. |

Jean-Pol Hiernaux and Gerd Rundel have copies of the album purchased at "Best Buy" in the USA, where a 100-page booklet is being given away with the album (not the same as the PDF booklet with The Bob Dylan Collection from iTunes, see Online Performances (Other) ). The Best Buy booklet is CD-sized and includes the 50 official albums presented in reverse chronological order, with two pages per album showing the cover and tracklist. This copy also has an insert advertising Bob's "Theme Time" XM radio show, see 2006. Pachi Becerril has a promo copy with a sticker with text "FOR PROMOTIONAL USE ONLY NOT FOR SALE" on the front. The "Best Buy" release has the catalogue number 82876 89494 2 on the "Best Buy" front sticker while the round yellow sticker and the CD itself have the regular catalogue number 82876 87606 2. Moise Potié's copy again has the regular catalogue number on the CD but 82876 87686 2 on the spines (same as the Taiwanese Limited Edition 2 disc set release above).
Thanks to Jack from Canada for scans of the Canadian release. The front of the US release has a slight coloured tint to the photo, whereas the Canadian photo is true black and white. The rear of the Canadian release is missing the US FBI Anti-Piracy logo. Detailed differences on the CD itself are shown above.
Thanks to Tim Dunn and Stuart Sonshine for information about this album and to David Plentus, Jean-Pol Hiernaux, Jack from Canada and Gerd Rundel 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, 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 "88691924312JK38" plus "DISC 42". The CDs are different in detail, the US Modern Times CD has catalogue number "88691924312D42", whereas the European CD has catalogue number "88691924312-42". 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 these CDs.
For more details of the set, see International Album Releases (Multi-Packs) 2010s.
