Bob Dylan – Oh Mercy | Original 1989 CBS Vintage Music Cassette | Indian Edition

A genuine vintage copy of Bob Dylan's Oh Mercy, his critically acclaimed 1989 studio album produced by Daniel Lanois.

Released in 1989, Oh Mercy marked an important late-career period for Dylan and is widely regarded as one of his strongest albums of the 1980s. The album blends Dylan's distinctive songwriting with atmospheric production, blues, folk-rock and roots-rock influences.

The cassette is particularly interesting for an Indian vintage-media collection because an official CBS India cassette edition, catalogue MDX 20062, is documented.

The Indian CBS edition is specifically documented as being manufactured by CBS Gramophone Records & Tapes (India) Ltd. and uses a black cassette with white text and no paper labels.

I would verify MDX 20062 from the actual cassette shell before putting “Indian Edition” in the final Shopify title.
