Good As I Been To You
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. |

One out-take from this album has been officially released:
This Old Man (R-0213) - from For Our Children, Walt Disney charity album to benefit children with HIV/AIDS, see 1991.
*Diamond Joe, live from "Jack Fate" and his band, from the unreleased soundtrack of the 2003 movie Masked & Anonymous (see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 2), is available to download from the Apple iTunes Online Music Store . This is a different song from the one on Good As I Been To You, thanks to Gil Walker for pointing this out. The version of Diamond Joe on this album can also be found in a performance by Ramblin' Jack Elliott on The Newport Folk Festival - 1963: The Evening Concerts Vol. 1, see 1964.
Thanks to Derek Barker for information in "Isis 180" that although the version of Diamond Joe on this album is either uncredited or credited as "Traditional, arranged Bob Dylan", it was in fact written by Baldwin "Butch" Hawes (husband of Bess Lomax Hawes and brother-in-law of Alan Lomax) in 1944 for a BBC radio programme called "The Chisholm Trail".
Bob performed Hard Times from this album at the "Willie Nelson Big Six-O Birthday Celebration" at KRLU Studios, Austin, TX, 28 Apr 1993, for the video release, see VHS & DVD 1990s Part 1.

1992:
This album was made by Columbia International in Heemstede, Holland and released in the UK and several

Hans Seegers has a copy where the record is pressed from green vinyl. Both the sleeve and the record are fake - the sleeve looks authentic but is of different material from the official release, and Columbia has never officially pressed LP records on coloured vinyl.

CD and MD (MiniDisc) Releases
"Good As I Been To You" - CD release, Columbia CK 53200 (USA/Canada/Australia), 3 Nov 1992:
The copy shown which was bought in Australia has identical artwork to the US release - the only difference is that the text "DIDP 078291" to the lower right of the Columbia logo on the US CD is missing. The "DIDP" number (Digital Identification Popular) is a code used by Sony DADC (Digital Audio Disc Corporation) on CDs pressed in Terre Haute, IN, or one of their other CD plants in the USA, from 1983 onwards (Classical CDs had "DIDC"). It's not present on this CD, which probably means that it was either manufactured by Sony in Japan, or at another US CD pressing plant under contract from Columbia. Nowhere does it say it's an Australian release. For a CD which was manufactured in Australia, see below.
Thanks to Hans Seegers, Gerd Rundel, Jack from Canada and Stuart Moore for information and scans.
"Good As I Been To You" - CD release, Columbia 472710 2 (Austria for Europe), 2 Nov 1992:
Columbia 472710 2 (Austria for Europe) - first release:
This album was also released in a double pack with Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits.
Columbia 472710 2 (Austria for Europe) - "Nice Price" and misprint copies:
Dag Braathen has a "Nice Price" copy bought in Italy with a pink front design instead of blue, this must be a misprint. It has a rear insert with the same codes as Keith Schweiger's "Nice Price" copy. The CD has just "BIEM" as the copyright organisation instead of "BIEM/STEMRA" on my copy. Paul Shenton has a copy of the same misprinted release without front stickers. Paul points out that this copy has a clear CD tray with the front design repeated on the reverse of the rear insert in the correct colour. Paul's copy has the same rear insert with the unboxed barciode and CD with just "BIEM" as shown.
Columbia 472710 2 (Austria for Europe) - limited edition wooden boxed set:
Thanks to Jean-Pol Hiernaux for information about the box and to Hans Seegers, Keith Schweiger, Dag Braathen and Paul Shenton for further information and pictures.

"Good As I Been To You" - CD release, Columbia 472710 2 (Australia), 1990s:
For a CD with the US catalogue number bought in Australia, see above.

The Disctronics text is in red, not black as on other Australian releases. Mark Bahlen has a promo copy with a gold stamp on the rear insert.

"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:
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 "88691924312JK33" plus "DISC 37". This album has been remastered, so is the thirteenth Dylan album remastered for this project. The CDs are different in detail, the US Good As I Been To You CD has catalogue number "88691924312D37", whereas the European CD has catalogue number "88691924312-37". The European CD was made in the EU (probably Austria).
For more details of the set, see International Album Releases (Multi-Packs) 2010s.
