Saved 2026-09-25 13:35 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added the 2007 European Columbia / Sony BMG 180 g vinyl LP of Bob Dylan, Blood on the Tracks (88697159481, EAN 0886971594812), completing a variant row of family/blood-on-the-tracks. Identity, credits, tracks, runouts and pressing plant (Optimal Media, job B797469) are from Discogs 2126919. The 2019 white 140 g repress (Discogs 15671589) shares the barcode and is recorded as a second observation. Markets cite six retailers that print the barcode (Elusive Disc, Vinyl Provisions, Plaid Room Records in the US; QBD Books AU; Southbound NZ; Winylownia PL), plus Amazon ASIN B000VAHBIS matched by manufacturer reference 88697159481 on amazon.com, .com.au (unavailable), .pl, .de and .co.uk (used only). Open gaps: the release date (8 vs 15 October 2007 across retailers), the GS1 prefix length and licensee (derived to Sony BMG), no licensed image, and no label code.. This is the current version.
