These copies of the US first release (1976) and second release (1977) were manufactured and marketed in the USA by Polydor. The outer and inner sleeves were printed in the USA, and all the front sleeves have a medium blue colour. Bob Dylan appears through the courtesy of Columbia Records. All Our Past Times (Side 1, track 5) was co-written by Eric Clapton and Rick Danko and it is correctly credited to both composers on the Side 1 record label (although wrongly listed as All Our Pastimes) and on the inner sleeve: only Eric Clapton is credited as composer on most other labels and, curiously, only Rick Danko on the inner sleeve! There are two record label variants for both promo and commercial releases - all four records shown come in the same outer and inner sleeves. The first variant (white label promo, buff label commercial) has left aligned song titles, "STEREO" to the left of the centre hole under the US catalogue number, and the international catalogue number on the right; the second variant (white label promo, yellow label commercial) has a different type face, centred song titles, "STEREO" is missing, and the international catalogue number is now on the left under the US catalogue number.
Ronald Born has a third commercial copy in the same outer and inner sleeves. The record labels are a salmon colour instead of buff or yellow and the text to the left and right of the centre holes is different again. The song titles are left aligned as for those of the first promo and commercial releases.

This release was produced in Canada by Polydor Ltd. The sleeve and inner sleeve are identical to those of the US release, apart from the details of the rear sleeve shown. The record labels are different, with a yellow background and centred song titles. All Our Past Times (Side 1, track 5) is still wrongly listed as All Our Pastimes on the Side 1 record label.

Eric Clapton - "No Reason To Cry" - stereo vinyl LP releases: RSO Deluxe 2479 179 (UK), 1976 (twice), late 1970s; RSO/Polydor SPELP 2/813 582-1 (UK), 1983; Polydor SPELP 2/813 582-1 (UK), 1990:
RSO Deluxe 2479 179 (UK), 1976 (two releases):
|
RSO Deluxe 2479 179 (UK) - front scan by Manuel García Jara (both 1976 releases) |
The first UK release was produced in very limited quantities, from before RSO became part of the Polydor organisation. The front sleeve is a very dark blue, nearly black. The printed inner sleeve is completely different from that of the US release. Bob Dylan appears through the courtesy of CBS Records. The inner and outer sleeves were printed by James Upton Ltd., listed on the rear of the inner sleeve, and the record labels have "Made in England". All Our Past Times is correctly credited to Eric Clapton and Rick Danko on the record labels and on the inner sleeve front (see detail scan). |

The second release dates from after RSO became part of the Polydor organisation and the record comes in the same outer and inner sleeve as before. T"MARKETED BY POLYDOR" is now printed on the record labels, which are salmon pink instead of buff.

The late 1970s release has a gold stamp on the front with "LIMITED EDITION SPECIAL PRICE". The rear sleeve and inner sleeve are the same as the second 1976 release. Thanks to Ronald Born for spotting that the song credits on the record labels of his copy are different from those of the two 1976 releases:
1976 releases: Side 1 - 1 Cop. Con. 2 Throat M. Ltd. 3 Big Ben Music Ltd. 4 Leeds M. Ltd. 5 Throat M. Ltd; Side 2 - 1,3,5 Throat M. Ltd. 2 Jewel M. Pub. Co. Ltd. 4 Throat M. Ltd.

The 1983 release had a new catalogue number as part of the Polydor Mid Price Special series. The record came with the same front sleeve, but with modified detail of the rear sleeve as shown. It also had the same inner sleeve. The RSO record labels are black with white text. The front sleeve has a W H Smith record shop sticker for £2.99. There was also a cassette release, RSO/Polydor SPEMC 2, see below. |

 Polydor SPELP 2/813 582-1 (UK) - front with sticker, scan by Manuel García Jara (1990 release) |
The
1990 UK release of the album was the last on vinyl for the UK until the 2015
Polydor release made in the Czech Republic, see below. It has
identical artwork (front, rear and spine) to that of the 1983 release but
this time it doesn't have an inner sleeve. Again it was sold at a special
price as stated on the front sticker. The record labels are very different
from those of all previous UK releases, this time they are red Polydor
labels. This UK copy was actually bought in Spain (there is a sticker on the rear with sleeve with the text "Oferta. 595"= "Offer. 595 pesetas", today €3,60). The pressing plant of COFASA, property of PolyGram Spain, was definitely closed in the late 1980s and after that Polydor records had to be imported from the UK. |

The outsides of the folded inserts of these cassette releases are the same apart from the catalogue number on the spine and the corresponding catalogue number of the LP release. Both say "MARKETED BY POLYDOR". The insides of the inserts are the same, with Robbie Robertson's name misspelled as "ROBERTON" on both. The 1976 cassette is light grey with buff RSO paper labels with black text. The 1983 cassette is black with black RSO paper labels with white text. The late 1980s cassette comes with the same insert as the 1983 release but the cassette is completely different. It is again black, but has silver text printed directly on to it, there are no paper labels.
Both cassette inserts mention a UK 8-track release with catalogue number RSO 3803 172 - scans required.
Thanks to Manuel García Jara and Paul Shenton for information and pictures.
Eric Clapton - "No Reason To Cry" - stereo vinyl LP release: RSO Deluxe 2479 179 (Ireland), 1976:
 RSO Deluxe 2479 179 (Ireland) - front scan by Manuel García Jara |
This Irish release has the same catalogue number and sleeve as the UK release. Although it has a RSO sleeve (almost certainly made in England), the record has unique worldwide red Polydor labels, completely different from those of the UK releases with "Made in the Republic of Ireland" and "An R.S.O. Recording" at the bottom. The album does not include an insert or an inner sleeve. Thanks to Manuel García Jara for information and scans. |

(1976 and 1977 releases)
The first Dutch release of this album is one of the few releases worldwide with a gatefold sleeve. The inner gatefold sleeve has the pictures and credits that other albums like the UK releases above have on the inner sleeve or insert. It has "Printed In The Netherlands" at the bottom of the left panel. The record has the usual RSO design of labels with the Dutch "STEMRA" logo and a curious mistake - "1972" is wrongly given as the date of publication on Side 1, but the correct date, "1976", is on Side 2. All Our Past Times is credited only to "Rick Danko" on the inner gatefold and only to "E. Clapton" on the Side 1 record label. The 1977 release comes in exactly the same gatefold sleeve but the record has completely different RSO labels. This time they are white instead of buff, with a completely different text layout. There are no publication dates on either side! All Our Past Times is again credited only to "E. Clapton" on the Side 1 record label.

(1979 release)
The third Dutch release of this album from around 1979 has the same catalogue number but now with an "A" on the end. This time it has a single sleeve instead of a gatefold sleeve as the first two releases. It now includes the usual inner sleeve. All Our Past Times is credited only to "Rick Danko" on the inner sleeve, but correctly to "Rick Danko/Eric Clapton" on the Side 1 record label. This means that there are two versions of the inner sleeve with the UK design as opposed to the US design, one with the song credit correct (the UK releases above) and one with it incorrect (the Dutch and West German releases, etc.)!
The record has the usual RSO design of labels with the Dutch "STEMRA" logo, but they are completely different from those of both the first and second releases, although buff like those of the first release. On the first and second release labels the song titles were upper/lower cases, left aligned and without timings. On the second release labels the song titles are upper case only, centred, and include timings. This time also both sides are correctly dated "1976" (omitted from the second release labels).
Thanks to Tom Willems for information and to Manuel García Jara for further information and scans.

The German version of this album has a single sleeve with no country of release, but the double-sided insert (not an inner sleeve) with the UK design has the text "Printed in Germany by Gerhard Stalling AG, Oldenburg". Bob Dylan appears through the courtesy of CBS Records. This release has the usual mistake: All Our Past Times is credited only to "Rick Danko" on the insert but to "E. Clapton" on the Side 1 record label. |

This record was manufactured in Austria for sale there and in Switzerland, but was also exported to the UK, where Kenneth Robson's copy was bought. It has the same sleeve as the UK release with catalogue number RSO 2479 179 on the rear, even though the catalogue number on the record labels is RSO 2470 179. It also has a picture inner sleeve sourced from the UK, but not quite the same as the UK release. All Our Past Times, co-written by Eric Clapton and Rick Danko, is incorrectly credited only to Rick Danko on the inner sleeve, like the Dutch and German releases above, while it's correct on the UK inner sleeve, also above. The song is also incorrectly credited only to Eric Clapton on the Side 1 record label. The record labels have "Made in Austria".
Manuel García Jara has a copy from the UK with the stamp of a library in Bromley, Kent, on the Side 2 label.
Thanks to Kenneth Robson and Manuel García Jara for information and scans.

The Italian release has a single sleeve with Italian copyright text at the bottom of the rear. The record comes in the usual inner sleeve. The record labels have "SIAE" printed on both sides and there is also an "SIAE" stamp on Side 1. "All Our Past Times" is correctly credited to "Danko/Clapton" on the Side 1 label but incorrectly to "Rick Danko" on the inner sleeve front (the same version as the Dutch and German releases above). |

 RSO 2394 172 (Spain) - front scan by Manuel García Jara (1976 release) |
This Spanish release has a sleeve printed by FOCO S.A.
of Madrid, and the record was made by COFASA S.A., as were 1970s Spanish
releases of Dylan albums. Like the Austrian release above, the record also has a picture inner sleeve sourced from the UK, but also not quite the same as the UK release. All Our Past Times, co-written by Eric Clapton and Rick Danko, is incorrectly credited only to Rick Danko on the inner sleeve, while it's correct on the UK inner sleeve. This time the song is also correctly credited to Clapton and Danko on the Side 1 record label. The printing credit to James Upton Ltd., listed on the rear of the UK inner sleeve, is missing here, even though the text still includes the Polydor UK address. |

This album was reissued in Spain in 1984. Like the first release, it was made by COFASA S.A. and distributed by Polydor S.A. The sleeve is very similar to that of the original 1976 release. The front has "Stereo" and the catalogue number at top right, but the "52" in a circle (present in the 1976 release) is missing here. This number has been changed to "179" at top right on the rear sleeve. As in the first release there is also copyright text printed vertically in the final "D" of the title "Hello Old Friend"; this copyright text is in very small lettering and very difficult to read: "Editado en España por FONOGRAM, S.A./Avda. de América s.n. - MADRID-27/Impreso en España por Gráficas FOCO, S.A./Avda. de América s.n. - MADRID-27 (1984)" plus "RSO (P) 1976". The original 1976 copyright text was: "Editado por POLYDOR, S.A./Avda. de América s.n. - MADRID-27/Impreso en España por FOCO, S.A./ Avda. de América s.n. - MADRID-27 (1976)" The inner sleeve is missing from this reissue.
As in the first release, the copyright text printed on the Side 1 record label is different from the text printed on the Side 2 label (see above), but this time "POLYDOR" is on Side 2 and "COFASA" is on Side 2. The copyright text is now printed round the whole circumference, including above the RSO logo at the top. All Our Past Times is misprinted as All Cur Past Times (this is a definite misprint, not the result of bad printing, the late 1980s reissue of the album has the identical error). This track is again wrongly credited to Eric Clapton only.
Thanks to Manuel García Jara for information and scans.

The first 1976 Yugoslav LP was released by RTB (Radio-Televizija Beograd) Records of Belgrade, now capital of Serbia. It has the regular sleeve and no inner sleeve. All Our Past Times is incorrectly credited only to Eric Clapton on the Side 1 record label. There were three record label variants, numbered on the labels as "I", "II" or "III" plus the number of copies. Only variants II (3000 copies) and II (1000 copies) are shown - scans of variant I labels required! The variant II record has orange labels. Although it is not a promo, the variant III record has white RTB labels.

The fourth release comes in exactly the same sleeve as the first three releases but the record now has white Polydor labels. It was again released by RTB and has the RTB logo on the labels as shown. |

 RSO 2394 172/RTB LP 5642 (Yugoslavia) - front with silver star, scan by Dick Teunis (first late 1970s release) |
These late 1970s Yugoslav releases were again released by RTB (Radio-Televizija Beograd) Records of Belgrade, now Serbia, under licence from Polydor International. They have the regular sleeve, no inner sleeve and the records now have RSO/RTB labels (both copies shown have the same record labels). The copy owned by Dick Teunis has a star stamp with "SREBRNA [SILVER]" on the front sleeve indicating it had achieved "silver" sales in Yugoslavia. These stars are printed, not stickers. |

Ronald Born's copy has a star stamp with "ZLATNA [GOLD]" on the front sleeve indicating that it had now achieved sales of 25,000 in Yugoslavia, and there is a stamped price of KCS 100 (100 Czech Krona), on the rear sleeve, showing that the LP was also for sale in the then Czechoslovakia. Ronald actually bought it in the then East Germany.

These early 1980s Yugoslav releases were again manufactured and distributed by RTB (Radio-Televizija Beograd) Records of Belgrade, now capital of Serbia, under licence from Polydor International. This time the sleeve has the original front without "SREBRNA" or "ZLATNA" stars and the rear is the same as all previous Yugoslav releases. The record labels now have the usual worldwide design without the RTB logo. |

|
The first release has light orange RSO labels and the record company is shown on the labels as "RTB RECORDS YUGOSLAVIA" as all the previous releases. The second release in the same sleeve has yellow RSO labels with a completely different text layout - e.g. the album title is now below the centre hole and "ERIC CLAPTON" is much larger. The record company is now shown on the labels as "RTB RECORDS BEOGRAD", although it still says "Yugoslavia" on the sleeve. The former Republic of Yugoslavia split into its constituent republics from 1990 onwards.

RSO 2394 172 (Israel) - detail of rear, scan by Manuel García Jara
The Israeli release of this album was made in Haifa by Litratone Limited for RSO. This album but doesn't include any insert or inner sleeve. For this reason the rear sleeve is different from other worldwide releases: the tracklist and composer credits normally printed on the inner sleeve or insert are printed on the rear sleeve in the two boxes that on other releases have the text "All Our Past TIMES" and "Innocent TIMES". The record has unique orange RSO labels. All Our Past Times is correctly credited to "E. Clapton/R. Danko" on the rear sleeve and the Side 1 record label.

This Japanese release was made by Polydor K.K. in Japan and has a white obi with pink text and price ¥2,500. The reverse illustrates several
previous Clapton albums. As in many other countries, it has a single,

included on other worldwide releases. All Our Past Times is again
incorrectly credited to "R. Danko" on the insert and to "E. Clapton" on
the Side 1 record label. The promo copy comes in the same sleeve and obi as the commercial release. The record has white promo labels and Japanese characters indicating a sample to the left and right of the monochrome RSO logo. The commercial record has salmon pink RSO labels with a red RSO logo. |

Eric Clapton - "No Reason To Cry" - stereo cassette release: RSO 3216 172 (Malaysia), 1976(?):
 RSO 3216 172 (Malaysia) - outside of cassette insert, scan by Manuel García Jara |
This tape has no country of release on the insert or on the labels, but there is a specific price for West Malaysia ($8.50), printed on the front, not a sticker. (West Malaysia is the Malayan Peninsula on the mainland of South East Asia, whereas East Malaysia is that part of Malaysia situated on the island of Borneo.) The vinyl album released there was jointly manufactured in Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia. This may be the equivalent tape to that album or an exclusive release to Malaysia, marketed by Phonogram. This is undated, but may be a later release because it has a later catalogue number and was released in the "Selecta" Series, the PolyGram equivalent to the Columbia/CBS "Nice Price" series. The reverse of the cassette insert is blank. The copyright logo of this tape is identical to that of the vinyl album. Sign Language is misspelled "Siga Language" twice and All Our Past Times is incorrectly credited only to Rick Danko. The clear leader tape has "POLYGRAM" printed on to it. |

Eric Clapton - "No Reason To Cry" - CD releases: RSO 813 582-2 Y-1 (West Germany), 1987 (two variants); Polydor 813 582-2 Y-1 (Germany), early 1990s, re-released 1992:

 RSO 813 582-2 Y-1 (West Germany) - front scan by Hans Seegers (both 1987 releases) |
The 1987 RSO European CD was manufactured in West Germany for the
European market. The CD has text "Made in W. Germany by
PolyGram". There are two rear sleeve variants: Paul Shenton's copy must be the first as it is a different colour from that of Hans' copy and the two Polydor releases below. Also the text "POL|990" in a box underneath the barcode at top right is missing. This rear insert is not entirely blank on the reverse - it has the catalogue number printed at top right. |

"Made in Germany" is missing from the CD. This may have been intended specifically for sale in Holland. |
