Description
"Gift Pack '70 Series: Bob Dylan"- deluxe 2LP boxed set, CBS/Sony SOPB 55117-18 (Japan), Nov 1970: Contains: Booklet in English and Japanese Milton Glaser Poster Corner OBI ( Is Missing) I can however provide a colour photocopy if you would like one on request.
Box and contents in excellent condition.
For Information Only
This is the first of a large number of exclusive compilations released by CBS/Sony in Japan, most as boxed sets, all with unique packaging and extras! There is an unusual corner obi which is glued to the inner lid of the hinged box (so it can't go missing), the rear of which is plain white.
"This is Vol. 9 in the first Gift Pack Series issued in Nov 1970 to commemorate the second anniversary of CBS/Sony in Japan. It is a numbered, limited edition, 2-record box set issued with a booklet and colour poster." The number is printed on the unique corner obi . The booklet has twelve pages and the large poster on thick paper is the Milton Glaser picture given away with copies of the US 1967 Greatest Hits compilation.
I am now positively informed that the version of Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window? in this set is in mono, and not the stereo version unavailable on commercial CD until 2015. The version available as on Masterpieces (1978) and Biograph (1985, remastered CD release 1997) and the 2000/2001 Essential Bob Dylan/Ultimate Bob Dylancompilations is also from the original single and still in mono! The only occurrence of the stereo version is on a CBS stereo acetate, see 1965. (The CBS Spanish 7" EP and singles released in 1972 are now proved to have the track in mispressed mono, not stereo.) The single version released in Nov 2015 on the 18CD Collector's Edition of The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 – Bob Dylan 1965-1966: The Cutting Edge (CD10, track 12) is in stereo and has been remixed from the original tapes. R-0513 will still remain a rarity, because of the limited availability of this massive set.
Side 1: Lay, Lay, Lay; John Wesley Harding; Girl From The North Country (with Johnny Cash); I Pity The Poor Immigrant; I Threw It All Away.
Side 2: Like A Rolling Stone; Mr. Tambourine Man; Subterranean Homesick Blues; Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?; Highway 61 Revisited.
Side 3: Rainy Day Women #12 & 35; I Want You; Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands (mistitled as "Lowland" on the sleeve and misspelled as "Lawland" on the record label). [This is the only place this song appears on a Dylan album other than on Blonde On Blonde and the 2015 6CD or 18CD editions of The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 – Bob Dylan 1965-1966: The Cutting Edge!]
Side 4: Blowin' In The Wind; When The Ship Comes In; My Back Pages; House Of The Rising Sun; Don't Think Twice, It's All Right; The Times They Are A-Changin'.
I am down sizing my extensive Dylan collection of 30 years plus a wide selection of other artists, as I will be retiring to the USA where our son lives as It will not be possible to take it all with us! So bookmark me in your favourites as these are the first listings.
