## About <!--about-->
Oh Mercy is the twenty-sixth studio album by Bob Dylan, produced by Daniel Lanois and released in September 1989.[^wiki-oh-mercy] This barcode belongs to its European cassette on the CBS label, catalogue number 465800 4, which MusicBrainz lists as an official Dutch release of September 1989.[^musicbrainz] Discogs records the barcode on two duplications: a chrome-tape cassette marked "Made in Holland" with the Dutch rights society BIEM/STEMRA,[^discogs-eu] and a cassette made in England for the United Kingdom and France, in a three-panel U-card inlay, credited ℗ and © 1989 CBS Records Inc. and distributed by CBS Records and CBS Disques S.A.[^discogs-ukfr] Both run ten songs, five a side, all written by Dylan.[^discogs-eu]
CBS was the name CBS Records used for its label outside the United States; Sony, which bought CBS Records in January 1988, replaced it with Columbia outside the United States from 1 January 1991.[^discogs-cbs] A cassette listed on Amazon's British and French stores under the same title credits the label Sony Music Média instead.[^amazon-uk]
