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, Columbia CK 66783, 15 Nov 1994.
For liner notes commissioned from Christopher Ricks that were omitted
from the final release, see The Liner Notes That
Sank (these notes were for an album with a slightly different
tracklist).
Dignity, released here for the first time, was a previously unreleased
1989 out-take from Oh Mercy, although the version here was
remixed in 1994 by Brendan O'Brien. For promo and commercial CD single
releases with a radio edit of the version of Dignity from this album, see 1994.
The original 1989 version of Dignity was a rarity when released on the Touched
By An Angel soundtrack album in 1998. It was
later released in the UK and elsewhere on The Best Of Bob Dylan Vol. 2,
see 2000, on European releases of The Essential
Bob Dylan, see 2001 and
2003, and finally on the 2007 3CD
compilation Dylan, which meant it ceased to be a rarity.

Tracklisting: Tangled Up In Blue; Changing Of The Guards (original 6:36
version from the 1978 release of Street-Legal); Jokerman; The Groom’s

O'Brien, exclusive to this album); Silvio; Ring Them Bells; Gotta Serve

Columbia/Legacy compilations Playlist: The Very Best Of Bob Dylan '70s
(2010) and The Real... Bob Dylan:
The Ultimate Bob Dylan Collection (2012), for both see

(UK), Nov 1994:

As far as I know there was
no commercial cassette release in the UK.
This promo cassette has
a typed insert and typed stickers on the cassette sides. I assume Side 2
looks the same as Side 1 as there is no track information.
Thanks
to Gerd Rundel for information and scans. |

"Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits
Volume 3" - compilation 2LP set, Columbia 477805 1 (NL), Nov 1994:
This set was manufactured in Holland, and released in Holland and France. As
far as I know there was no UK vinyl release.

The front photo
is by Ken Regan, the rear photo is by Morgan Renard and the third photo (in
the cowboy jacket, and on an inner sleeve here) is
by Randee St. Nicholas. This 2LP set is in a single sleeve and the two records have
picture sleeves. The information sticker on the front wrongly claims Dignity
is a
"brand new" song - it was of course from 1989, and the original
version had been in the hands of
Dylan fans since at least 1990.
Thanks to Peter Pearson for information
and photos, and to Hans Seegers
for further information and scans. Hans Seegers' copy has plain inner
sleeves. Gerd Rundel's copy has an alternate round sticker with the same
text as my UK CD copy below.

Rundel |
As far as I know this was the only
European cassette release apart from the CBS/Sony Spanish release below.
There
is a circular yellow front sticker with the same design as the white
circular LP sticker above.
It has a long folded insert with song credits on the reverse. Unlike
other cassette releases, the inside of the insert has the track timings
beside the titles. |

This 2LP set is again in a single
outer sleeve like the Dutch vinyl release above but the two records now have plain inner sleeves and there is a
double-sided insert with the same artwork as for the Dutch inner sleeves. The records have
orange Columbia labels and are numbered "229.045" and "229.046". They have
handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - 229045 A 1 477805, Side 2 - 229045 B 1
477805, Side 3 - 229046 A 1 477805, Side 4 - 229046 b 1 477805. Although it says
"(P) 1994" on the labels, the records have "(P) 1995" handwritten in the vinyl
after the matrix numbers.
