New Morning
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. |

Revised 16 September, 2024.
Original US stereo LP, Columbia KC 30290, 21 Oct 1970. The front photograph is by Len Siegler, from Aug or Sep 1970. An out-take in colour from the same photo session appears in the booklet for The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3 [Rare and Unreleased] 1961-1991. Like Self Portrait, neither Bob's name nor the album title appear on the front sleeve, although this was changed on some international releases - see below. The rear picture shows Bob with Victoria Spivey at Cue Recording Studio, New York, 2 Mar 1962, at the session that produced Three Kings And The Queen (see 1964), and Kings And The Queen Vol. 2 (see 1972). |

Spivey LP 1014 (USA, 1972) - detail of rear with Bob, scan by Kenneth Robson |
The uncredited rear photo was taken by Victoria Spivey's husband Len Kunstadt and another photo from the same session with Bob appears on the rear sleeve of the 1972 album, included above left. Michael Gray says in his Bob Dylan Encyclopaedia that the photo used for New Morning was taken by Len Siegler, but that the copyright was owned by Len Kunstadt, who offered copies of the photo for sale as art prints. This leads Rod MacBeath to conclude that, because the photos from the Aug or Sep 1970 session are the only ones known to be credited to Len Siegler, he and Len Kunstadt are the same person!
This album did not have a separate mono mix, but a mono version reduced from stereo was released in South America - for this see Mono Album Releases.
According to Michael Krogsgaard a master tape of the first version of the album was prepared in June 1970 and the tracklist was:
Side 1: The Man In Me; Winterlude; Mary Ann; One More Weekend.
Side 2: Mr. Bojangles; Tomorrow's A Long Time; Three Angels; Ballad Of Ira Hayes; If Dogs Run Free.
As can be seen, this includes three tracks eventually released on Dylan in 1973.
The tracklist of the released album is:
Side 1: If Not For You; Day Of The Locusts; Time Passes Slowly; Went To See The Gypsy; Winterlude; If Dogs Run Free
Side 2: New Morning; Sign On The Window; One More Weekend; The Man In Me; Three Angels; Father of Night.
Several of these songs, namely New Morning, Father Of Night and Time Passes Slowly, were written for a play by Archibald MacLeish called "Scratch", but were not in the end used in the play. The rehearsal script shown still has "with the songs of Bob Dylan" on the front.
No single taken from New Morning was ever released in the USA. The US single with If Not For You from New Morning paired with Tomorrow Is A Long Time was only released in Feb 1972 to promote the compilation Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II.
Out-takes from this album are:
7" Singles: Spanish Is The Loving Tongue (solo version R-0072, see 1971) (For R-0096, the band version of Spanish Is The Loving Tongue, Self Portrait out-take released on the album Dylan, see 1973. This take is different from the take released in 2013 on The Bootleg Series, Vol. 10 - Another Self Portrait (1969-1971)!) Watching The River Flow, the A-side of the single, was recorded in Mar 1971 and released on Greatest Hits Vol. II.
Dylan (1973): Lily Of The West (R-0097), Sara Jane (R-0098), Can't Help Falling In Love (R-0100), Mr. Bojangles (R-0101), Big Yellow Taxi (R-0102), Mary Ann (R-0103), Ballad of Ira Hayes (R-0104). Three of these were on the first version of New Morning above. For all these see 1973.
The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3 (1991): If Not For You (alternate take recorded with George Harrison during the New Morning sessions at Columbia Studios, New York, 1 May 1970)
Al Kooper's 2001 Columbia 2CD compilation Rare & Well Done includes an alternate take of Went To See The Gypsy from the sessions which doesn't actually include Bob, see Honourable Mentions.
Sony Custom Mix Web-site ( 2003): I Threw It All Away (alternate take recorded with George Harrison during the New Morning sessions at Columbia Studios, New York, 1 May 1970)
Apple iTunes Online Music Store (2004): Went To See The Gypsy (previously unreleased piano demo R-0683, see Online Performances (Other))
"Chronicles Volume One 6 Song Sampler" (2004): New Morning (with tuning/intro); Father Of Night (see 2004). Both of these tracks appear to be remastered, and may be from a forthcoming remastered release of New Morning. New Morning includes the tuning/intro that was present on the original US and UK vinyl releases (R-0071, see 1970), but has been absent from all CD releases of the album including the latest remastered worldwide releases.
The Bootleg Series Vol. 10 - Another Self Portrait 1969-1971 (2013): Several out-takes from this album are included on this set - Went To See The Gypsy (demo, not the previously unreleased piano demo that appeared on the Apple iTunes Online Music Store (2004) - R-0683, see Online Performances (Other)); Spanish Is The Loving Tongue (unreleased, not the version released as a single in 1971 - R-0072(M), see 1971); Time Passes Slowly #1 (alternate version); If Not For You (alternate version); Working On A Guru (unreleased); Bring Me A Little Water (unreleased); Sign On The Window (with orchestral overdubs); If Dogs Run Free (alternate version); New Morning (with horn section overdubs); Went To See The Gypsy (alternate version); Time Passes Slowly #2 (alternate version). Thanks to Peter Coulthard for reminding me that the New Morning with horn overdubs, CD2, track 14 of the 2013 2CD includes the intro with Bob saying "OK, here we go". However, as the 2013 version contains overdubs, R-0071 remains a rarity.
Dylan, Cash And The Nashville Cats: A New Music City (2015): If Not For You (alternate version with Lloyd Green on pedal steel) - Dag Braathen says this is the same take as on The Bootleg Series, Vol. 10 - Another Self Portrait (1969-1971), recorded at Columbia Studios, New York, 2 Jun 1970, but with the violin mixed down and steel guitar overdubbed.
Even more New Morning out-takes are included on the very limited Dec 2020 3CD set 50th Anniversary Collection 1970, see 2020.

Thanks to Jeff Gold, Bruce Mulle and several others for news of 149 Dylan acetates from the Nashville Skyline/Self Portrait/New Morning era that were found in a New York building in West Houston Street, Greenwich Village, that was once rented by Bob as a studio. These have been named "The West Houston Street Acetates" and contain many unreleased versions of Dylan songs from the period. They will be listed in full on the 2014 page when time permits. For full details, see here.
Variant 1 of New Morning Side 1 shown has five songs: If Not For You, two mixes of Day Of The Locusts, Time Passes Slowly, and New Morning, Winterlude is missing. The label has Bob's handwriting choosing one mix of Day Of The Locusts and modifying titles. Apart from the rejected mix of Day Of The Locusts, these may be the released versions of the songs. See the 2014 page for full details.
Variant 1 of New Morning Side 2 shown has six songs: New Morning; Sign On The Window; One More Weekend; The Man In Me; Three Angels; Father Of Night. This acetate has Bob Johnston's handwriting on the label and Bob Dylan's handwriting on the sleeve. Sign on the Window has an extra 7 seconds on intro, The Man In Me has an extra 4 seconds on intro, Three Angels has an extra 2 seconds of organ at the beginning. Similar mixes to released album. See the 2014 page for full details.
Variant 2 of New Morning (two discs) has an alternate sequence, but all tracks could be the released mixes.
Variant 3 of New Morning (again two discs) has only ten tracks in a different sequence, omitting Winterlude and Three Angels, but all tracks could be the released mixes.
Variant 3 of New Morning (again two discs) again has a different sequence, but all tracks could be the released mixes.
Variant 4 of New Morning (again two discs) again has a different sequence, but all tracks could be the released mixes.
Also shown are acetates with The Man In Me, If Not For You, Father of Night and two versions of Time Passes Slowly. The Man In Me is a different mix from the version on the multi-track acetate above. The handwriting on the sleeve says "B-1 - Bring Ron (Ron Cornelius on guitar) up all the way. Piano up in long fade". If Not For You is the album track from New Morning with a different mix including strings, noted on the label. Father Of Night is the New Morning track. Version 1 of Time Passes Slowly is a different edit of alternate take from New Morning released on The Bootleg Series, Vol. 10 - Another Self Portrait (1969-1971). Version 2 of Time Passes Slowly is an unreleased take very different from those released on New Morning and The Bootleg Series, Vol. 10 - Another Self Portrait (1969-1971). See the 2014 page for full details.
Vinyl and Tape Releases
"New Morning" - promo stereo LP releases, Columbia KC 30290 (USA), Oct 1970:
Only the first US pressing of the album had the tuning/intro at the start of
the title track (R-0071, see
1970). All these copies shown look like regular commercial copies
with stickers on the sleeves, although the record labels differ from those of the commercial
copies below.
Along the bottom of the front sleeve of Gerd Rundel's promo copy (copy 1) is pasted an 11" x 3" white radio station timing strip with the text: "COLUMBIA RECORDS RADIO STATION SERVICE - NOT FOR RESALE" plus the track listing and track timings. The rear has the Columbia logo and "KC 30290" catalogue number as shown below for the commercial copy. The record labels are the commercial red Columbia design with the logo in a ring round the circumference. On these labels "NEW MORNING" is above "BOB DYLAN" and one song is listed above the centre hole. This promo copy of KC 30290 has matrix numbers: Side 1 - P AL 30290-1E, Side 2 - P BL 30290-1D.
Preston Ginn's promo copy (copy 2) has a torn radio station timing strip on the front with handwritten notes next to each track title. The rear sleeve has another radio station sticker with handwriting. This copy has the earliest matrix numbers so far listed: Side 1 - AL 30290-1C, Side 2 - BL 30290-1A.
Manuel García Jara's promo copy (copy 3) has a sticker with "PROMOTION - Not For Sale" on the rear sleeve. It has completely different record labels, still with the commercial design. “BOB DYLAN" is above "NEW MORNING" and in a completely different type face. The song title layout is also different. The record of this copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - KC PAL-30290-1G, Side 2 - KC PBL-30290-1G. Lars M. Banke has a promo copy (copy 4) with a sticker with text “For Demonstration Use Only Not For Sale” on the front sleeve at bottom left.

This copy has virtually the same record labels as Stuart Moore's, although "SIDE 1" and "SIDE 2" are slightly larger. The record of this copy has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - AL-30290-1A, Side 2 -BL-30290-2F.
Ronald's second 1980s copy has a "PC 30290" sleeve (the same as Gerd Rundel's 1990s copy) and record labels that are still in the 1970s/80s style with a very small pressing ring. This copy has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - <PAP> AL 30290-G1B, Side 2 - <PAP> AL 30290-G2C. Ronald thinks this is a late 1980s pressing from the Columbia plant in Pitman, NJ.

"New Morning" - commercial stereo LP, Columbia KC 30290 (Canada), 21 Oct 1970, reissued mid-1970s:
Columbia KC 30290 (Canada) - detail of rear, scan by Manuel García Jara
(1970 release - "COLUMBIA RECORDS OF CANADA", this text is
missing from Rick Craddock's copy)
Columbia KC 30290 (Canada) - detail of rear, scan by Gerd Rundel
(mid-1970s release - "CBS
RECORDS CANADA")
These releases were made in Canada. The 1970 sleeve was made by Shorepak even though this information on the rear of Manuel's copy is written in very small text, almost unreadable - this info is missing from the mid-1970s sleeve. "LITHO IN CANADA" is printed on the spine. The "1960s-style" 1970 Columbia Canadian labels have the white "STEREO"/"360° SOUND"/arrows logo and Bob's name above the album title (see the Singapore/Malaysian label below). The record of the 1970 copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - AL-30290-1A (at 12 o'clock) 2-HD: (at 6 o'clock), Side 2 - BL-30290-1A (at 12 o'clock) 2-HD: (at 6 o'clock). Rick Craddock has an original release with the same front sleeve and record labels as shown but a different rear sleeve abnd matrix numbers. The rear sleeve does not have the Shorepak information at bottom left, nor the Columbia Canada text at bottom right. The matrix numbers of this copy are: Side 1 - P BL-30290-1L (at 11 o'clock, stamped), Side 2 - kc (handwritten) AL-30290-1A 9 (at 11 o'clock, stamped).
The record of the mid-1970s copy shown has new style labels with a ring of Columbia logos round the circumference. The bottom line of the record labels is "MANUFACTURED BY CBS RECORDS CANADA LTD.". Columbia Records of Canada Ltd. was renamed CBS Records Canada Ltd. in late 1976, so this release is after then. This copy has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - AL-30290-1A, Side 2 - BL-30290-1A.
Thanks to "Frank", Manuel García Jara, Gerd Rundel and Rick Craddock for information and scans.
"New Morning" - commercial stereo LPs, Columbia KC 30290 (Canada for export), mid-1970s:
On Lars' fourth export copy the Columbia logos on the rear sleeve are obscured with black pen (not a black circular sticker). And like the first two copies shown the Columbia logos on the label are obscured with black ring-shaped stickers – however not “clumsy hand-made” as the third copy. The record again has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - AL 30290 1A, Side 2 - BL 30290 1A. The album was bought in Sweden.
Thanks to Lars M. Banke for information and scans.
"New Morning" - stereo promo reel-to-reel tape, CBS (no catalogue number) (UK), 30 Oct 1970:

CBS S 69001 (UK), Oct 1970 (four variants):
All UK pressings of the album had the tuning/intro at the start of the title track (R-0071, see 1970). My 1970 copy is laminated on the front sleeve only. The front sleeve has no text, not even a CBS logo/catalogue number. Gerd Rundel's test pressing comes in an unlaminated sleeve and a "HEAVY ON CBS" inner sleeve. The Sides 1 and 2 labels are the same. The record has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - S-69001-A1, Side 2 - S-69001-B1. My copy of the record has orange UK CBS labels with stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - S 69001-A2, Side 2 - S 69001-B1. Rene Jørgensen has a copy with matrix numbers: Side 1 - S 69001-A1, Side 2 - S 69001-B1. The central CBS is more finely printed and the text below the centre hole is positioned slightly lower. It has the same outer and inner sleeves as my copy. Rene has another copy with the same labels and matrix numbers: Side 1 - S 69001-A1, Side 2 - S 69001-B2. |

Gerd Rundel has a copy, also laminated on the front only with the same record labels and matrix numbers as Rene's first copy: Side 1 - S 69001-A1, Side 2 - S 69001-B1. Gerd's copy has the same inner sleeve as Record 2 of my copy of Self Portrait. Lars M. Banke has a copy with "handmade" lettering of "BOB DYLAN" and "NEW MORNING" on the front, and the owner's name expertly lettered on the rear sleeve. This copy has the record labels shown with the printed text lower and matrix numbers: Side 1 - S 69001-A2, Side 2 - S 69001-B2. Paul Shenton's copy also has these matrix numbers. The record has variant 1 labels and comes in the 1971 CBS UK inner sleeve with "The Greatest Hits are on CBS" as shown for the UK release of More Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, see here.
The paper inner sleeve of my copy is a third example from 1970. The front features Simon and Garfunkel, with an interesting point for Paul Simon fans being the inclusion of the then UK-only solo album, The Paul Simon Song Book (unavailable for a long time but now in print again). The reverse shows current albums with the theme "Sounds of the 70s on CBS" (mostly easy listening, but Johnny Cash is featured). Again the rear sleeve shows the then postal address of CBS Records, 28/30 Theobalds Road, London WC1. Ronald Born's Dutch copy of New Morning listed below comes in a fourth example of a CBS UK inner sleeve, this time featuring Bob's albums including this one on the front.
Gerd Rundel has another copy I've called variant 4 where the record has a double pressing ring on both sides. It comes in the same sleeve and inner sleeve as mine.
CBS S 69001 (UK), re-released late 1970s, early 1980s:
The 1982 record still has orange/yellow CBS labels and "MADE IN ENGLAND" has been moved from the bottom of the label to the circumference text on the right. It comes in a “NICE PRICE Surprise” inner sleeve showing albums from this series and the copy shown has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - CBS 32267 A3, Side 2 - CBS 32267 B4, 69001-B4.
The 1984 release comes in the same outer sleeve but has a different "NICE PRICE" inner sleeve dated 1984. The record now has red CBS labels and has CBS copyright information at the bottom, moved to the circumference text on the late 1980s record labels (not yet shown). The record of the copy shown has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - CBS 32267 A3, Side 2 - CBS 32267 B4. Gerd Rundel has a second copy in the same outer sleeve with slightly different red record labels. The copyright text at the bottom of the labels is shorter and the circumference text is longer. The record of this copy comes in a plain white inner sleeve and has the same handwritten matrix numbers as the other red label copy.

"New Morning" - stereo cassette
releases: CBS 40-32267 (NL), 1982; CBS/Columbia 40-32267 (NL), 1990s:
There must
be a Dutch cassette release with catalogue number CBS 40-69001 - scans required!
Paul Shenton has a copy with an unusual mistake - the inside of the insert has the inside details from the Dutch Saved cassette release printed upside down! The front insert and cassette are the same as those of Tom's copy.
Paul also has a 1990s Columbia cassette that comes with the same CBS inserts as the other two copies shown. It has Columbia paper labels that have been pasted over different black text printed on the cassette!
This release does not have Bob saying "OK, here we go." at the start of the title track (R-0071, see 1970).

"New Morning" - promo stereo vinyl

These German releases have Bob saying "OK, here we go." at the start of
the title track. New Morning was the last CBS Dylan album to be released
by CBS West Germany, after this all CBS albums sold in Germany were imported
from Holland. Planet Waves and Before The Flood were released in
Germany in 1974, but they were then on the Asylum label, not CBS.

"New Morning" - stereo vinyl LP
releases, CBS S
64179 (Spain), Nov 1970, re-released 1971 (two releases), 1974, late 1970s; CBS 32267 (Spain), 1983,
re-released 1986, 1989 (two releases); CBS/Sony 32267 (Spain), 1992:
No Spanish vinyl pressings of the album had the tuning/intro at the start of the
title track (R-0071, see 1970).
CBS S 64179 (Spain), Nov 1970, 1971 (two releases):
The track titles are translated into Spanish on the rear sleeve and the record labels. If Not For You is translated as "Si No Para Ti" which is meaningless in Spanish, the correct translation is "Si No Fuera Por Ti". A few critics wrote articles mocking this hilarious translation but it was never corrected and all the Spanish vinyl editions right up to the last reissue, have this translation. However, these articles must have had some effect and CBS Spain changed the translation of "If Not For You" in new releases in other formats: the 7" single New Morning/If Not For You (see International 7" Singles 1971) and the tape release below have the correct translation: "Si No Fuera Por Ti". The credits on the rear sleeve are also in Spanish. The records of both 1971 releases are the same and have orange CBS labels. Both copies shown have matrix numbers: Side 1 - S-69001 A2, Side 2 - S 69001 B3.
CBS S 64179 (Spain), 1974, late 1970s:
The album was released in 1974 with exactly the same sleeve. The record this time had orange/yellow CBS labels and the copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - 64179-A+, Side 2 - 64179-B+. Tom Willems has a late 1970s copy where the record again has orange/yellow CBS labels but with a different text layout to the left of the centre hole as shown, omitting the arrows logo. The front sleeve has a more yellow tint, and the CBS logo is more yellow. The rear sleeve is exactly the same as the 1974 and earlier sleeves.
CBS 32267 (Spain), 1983 (two variants):
The record again has orange/yellow CBS labels and the variant 1 copy shown has matrix numbers: Side 1 - 64179-A0, Side 2 - 64179-B+ (the old catalogue number on both sides). Lars M. Banke's first copy (not shown) has the same sleeve and variant 1 labels but the record has stamped matrix numbers with the new catalogue number: Side 1 - 32267 A, Side 2 -32267 B. Lars' second copy has the same sleeve, this time with a "PRECIO REDONDO [NICE PRICE]" front sticker and variant 2 labels with shorter circumference text omitting "Impusto de lujo a metalico - permiso num. 7053". The record of this copy has confusing stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - 64179 A (the old catalogue number), Side 2 - 32267 B (same as Side 2 of Lars' variant 1 copy).

"New Morning" - stereo cassette releases, CBS 40-64179 (Spain), 1971, 1978:
The very rare 1971 cassette has song titles in Spanish only on the insert, which is otherwise without credits, just information about other tapes published by CBS Spain. The cassette is white with orange paper labels (slightly skewed on Side 1!) with song titles in Spanish and English. This release is notable for various reasons: it was the second Dylan cassette published in Spain, after Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, and it was released in very limited quantities in 1971 when cassette players were still scarce in Spanish homes. In fact, CBS Spain did not release more tapes till 1974. This cassette was made by BIAS, S.A., an obscure company from Barcelona, and the quality of sound is poor. For some reason this is the only Spanish release with the tuning/intro at the start of the New Morning song (R-0071, see 1970). If Not For You is correctly translated as "Si No Fuera Por Ti" (see above).
The 1978 cassette was made by CBS itself and is of the first widely-released Spanish design, with a folded card insert with details of other CBS Spain cassette releases on the inside. The song titles are in Spanish and English on the insert, and in Spanish only on the cassette labels. The cassette is again white with orange paper labels. This time Side 1 does not include the rarity.
Note on translations: "If Not For You" has been translated correctly as "Si No Fuera Por Ti" on the left of the outside insert and the Side 1 cassette label, but wrongly translated as "Si No Para Ti" on the right of the outside insert (the part that folds under)! The same has happened to New Morning - it has been translated as "Nueva Mañana" on the left of the outside insert and on the Side 2 cassette label, but as "Otra Mañana" on the right of the outside insert (this time both translations can be correct). There is a completely different (and amusing) mistake for If Dogs Run Free - it is translated correctly as "Si Los Perros Corrieran Libres" on both sides of the outside insert, but incorrectly as "Si Los Perros Corrieran Liebres" on the Side 1 cassette label. Because "liebre" means "hare" in Spanish, "Si Los Perros Corrieran Liebres" means "If Dogs Were Chasing Hares"!

All these Japanese pressings of the album had the tuning/intro at the start of the title track (R-0071, see 1970). All releases had orange/cream CBS/Sony record labels and the promo copies shown had black/white CBS/Sony record labels.
The original 1970 release, CBS/Sony SONP 50390, had an orange and white top obi with price ¥1,800. It had a four-page insert in English and Japanese. Paul Shenton's copy is missing its obi, but it does have a front sticker "HERE IS CBS/SONY" in English at top right. Paul points out that the record sides in white text in the black left hand panel of the rear sleeve are called "Side A" and "Side B" while on most other worldwide releases they are "Side 1" and "Side 2". This is repeated on the record labels - it was common practice for the sides of Japanese records to be identified alphabetically rather than numerically. For consistency I use the convention "Side 1", "Side 2", etc. for all LP and LP-length cassette sides.
The 1974 reissue, CBS/Sony SOPL 228, had a cream top obi with price ¥2,000. It had a eight-page stapled booklet in English and Japanese.
The 1976 reissue, CBS/Sony 25AP 281 had a tan side obi with price ¥2,500 (the "25" in the new catalogue number indicates the price). It had a eight-page stapled booklet in English and Japanese. CBS/Sony 25AP 281 was reissued in early 1977 with a brown side obi and again in late 1977 with a wider brown side obi giving 1978 tour dates (the tour from which Bob Dylan At Budokan and The Complete Budokan 1978 were taken). The copy shown is the early 1977 release with the narrower brown obi, scans of the other obis required.

The Canadian release shown was still on sale in Canada until 2009. The disc in Jack's copy was made in Canada. Moise Potié's disc, bought in the late 1990s, was presumably made in the USA as it doesn't have the "MADE IN CANADA" text below the Columbia logo.

record label design. The title track does not have "OK, here we go" at the beginning as on early releases of the vinyl album (R-0071, see 1970). The US release is slightly different in that the front sticker has the catalogue number followed by "-S1". The rear of the digipak does not have "Sony Music" at bottom left, but does have the FBI Anti-Piracy logo at bottom right. |

"The Complete Album Collection Vol. One" - 47CD boxed set, Columbia/Legacy/Sony Music 88691-92431-2 (USA), 5 Nov 2013/(Europe), 4 Nov 2013; USB stick, Columbia/Legacy/Sony Music 88883-77314-5 (USA), 5 Nov 2013/(Europe), 4 Nov 2013; Sony Music SICP 30471-30520 (Japan), 26 Mar 2014 onwards:
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, 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 "88691924312JK11" plus "DISC 12". The CDs are different in detail, the US New Morning CD has catalogue number "88691924312D12", whereas the European CD has catalogue number "88691924312-12". 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.
For more details of the set, see International Album Releases (Multi-Packs) 2010s.
