This is basically a "pirate" or "counterfeit" (whatever you want to
call it). It's one of those "seedy" CDs ("Made in EEC") that flooded
department store bargain bins in continental Europe up to 1 Jan 1996
(when the last legal loopholes were closed...). The going price here
in Germany was as low as DM 3.00 (about two dollars).

This Dylan CD (CD 352066) and its companion "The Times They Are
A-Changin'" (like all Duchesse CDs?) ONLY CONTAINS TRACKS COPIED FROM
OFFICIAL COLUMBIA/SONY RELEASES..

Some of the Duchesse CDs (not the Dylan ones, though) are even "lifted
off" old VINYL copies -- so you can listen to the crackles of the
original vinyl in pristine digitalized stereo, I assume... B-(

Still, some of them (there's quite a few)  were a cheap way to get
out-of-print albums or recordings by artists I would not have bought
otherwise. Not in this case, though -- THERE'S NOTHING NEW AND
EVERYTHING IS READILY AVAILABLE.

My advice: Avoid both (or, if you're a completist, buy them if you can
get them for less than three dollars... DON'T PAY MORE, though)

Hope this helps

I have heard the Duchesse label is known for repackaging songs from
commercially available albums. They do not offer any hard to find music so you
probably do not want to buy their product unless you find the price right and
the song order desireable. They also have another CD titled "The Times They
Are A Changin". I believe the correct term for these releases is "pirate".

All I  Really Want  To Do  came out in 1989 and has the year
printed on it. It is "Made in EEC" so Holland seems a likely
source. The order number is CD 352066. The matrix is DANDISC
352066 CDM01.

Another Dylan  album with  the same  title came out in 1994.
All I Really Want To Do (Univers, UN 3 011, 1994, Printed in
Germany, GZ C21105 UN 3011)

Both are  pirates and  I doubt  anyone buys them on purpose.
But if anyone has bought any pirate by mistake EDLIS is very
interested in knowing about it. In documenting boots we must
know about  legitimate releases  and pirates  in order to be
able to provide sound advice.
