BOB DYLAN
DESIRE
QUADRAPHONIC LP
CBS 1976
X798
The quadraphonic LP has significantly different mixes to the regular, stereo release.
This import version has an import sticker on the cover, blacked out CBS copyright info and special import labels.
The cover, inner, labels and vinyl are all NEAR MINT. The whole album is in stunning condition and very, very rare.
From specialist Dylan site:
"As these quadraphonic albums are rarities, they're also listed in 1976.
This album was created using the Columbia "SQ" quadraphonic system and has mistakes in:
R-0124 Joey - at the end of verse three there is a vocal mistake - "to the boss I say he said" - this must have been edited out on the regular release
R-0125 Romance In Durango - again at the end of verse three there is a vocal mistake - "In the face of God will appear" - this too must have been edited out on the regular release.
It was also reported there is an outstandingly bad trumpet track in R-0125 that was also removed from the regular stereo release - Aaron Derfel tells me that the trumpet track is in fact still in the regular stereo mix, but has been mixed down considerably. He thinks "the trumpet is terribly off-key at times, but it does have its charms".
Another lesser difference is that in One More Cup Of Coffee there is apparently an intrusive scraping sound just before the third verse, again something that was edited out of the regular stereo release.
X798 is a US copy that was exported to the UK. The "Columbia" logo on the front sleeve is covered by a "MECOLICO" [Mechanical Copyright Licensing Company] sticker showing that the album has been exported legally to the UK and that UK purchase tax has been paid. On the rear sleeve the instances of "Columbia" have been obscured with black marker pen and there are white ring-shaped stickers on the record labels obscured the ring of Columbia logos."
