For comparison only, I have added an image of the inner gatefold of the original double LP. As you can see, nearly all of the original photos, though partly cropped, are now in the booklet. Missing, however, are the photographs of Claudia Cardinale and of the photographer himself, Jerry Schatzberg, who had also shot the cover photo. Here's something more about it, taken from Wikipedia:
The original inside gatefold featured nine black-and-white photos, all taken by Schatzberg and selected for the sleeve by Dylan himself. A shot of actress Claudia Cardinale from Schatzberg's portfolio was included but later withdrawn because it had been used without her authorization and Cardinale's representatives threatened to sue, making the original record sleeve a collector's item. Dylan included a self-portrait by Schatzberg as a credit to the photographer. The photos, for [Andy] Gill, added up to "a shadowy glimpse of [Dylan's] life, including an enigmatic posed shot of Dylan holding a small portrait of a woman in one hand and a pair of pliers in the other: they all contributed to the album's air of reclusive yet sybaritic genius."
The 2003 issue of the album used completely different photos from Schatzberg.
The first European Columbia (Sony Music) issue of Blonde On Blonde, in all but label and catalogue number identically equal to the previous CBS release of 1987. This one came out in 1992 according to some sources, and that may be so. It was still a poorly packaged issue with improvable sound quality, so I replaced it with the 2003 remastered version.
