"Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?" - 8" mono acetate, Columbia CO 87184 (USA), Dec 1965:
![]() |
This acetate contained a slightly longer version than that released as a single in Jan 1966. For full details and for a stereo acetate, see the rarities page for 1965. |
"Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?"/"Highway 61
Revisited" - 7" mono single, Columbia 4-43477 (USA), Jan 1966:
For an early version of Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?
released by mistake in the USA, see 1965.
Dylan discographies give the US release date as 27 Dec 1965, but members of the internet newsgroup rec.music.dylan have disputed this date, claiming the single was not in record stores until Jan 1966. According to Hans Seegers, 27 Dec 1965 is the date the US single was released for airplay (see the stamp on the promo Columbia single), not to stores, and the European release date was definitely Jan 1966. This is supported by the fact that the UK single labels below have the text "P. 1966" and the Dutch single labels below has the text "Recording first published 1966" (Highway 61 Revisited is listed as first published 1965, as you would expect). Also, the French test pressing is dated 5 Jan 1966.
On his Electric Dylan site Roger Ford says: "Here the ten seconds of extended play-out in the stereo mix do at least give us a little bit more singing by Dylan - a sort of hummed blues riff in between his blasts on the "police car" whistle, plus a shout just as the track fades."

"Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?"/"Highway 61 Revisited" - 7" mono single, CBS 201900 (UK), Jan 1966:
![]() CBS 201900 (UK) - acetate A-side scan by Arie de Reus |
Shown left is a 7" single-sided metal acetate of the A-side of CBS 201900 (UK).
Because there's a hole punched through the metal it's not possible to read the
release date.
Some copies of the UK single are reported to have had a picture sleeve, but this may well have been one of two "generic" Highway 61 Revisited sleeves sold in 1965 - for illustrations of these generic sleeves provided by Hans Seegers see 7" Singles Sleeves. Other European releases had picture sleeves as shown below. Thanks to Arie de Reus and Hans Seegers for information and scans. |

of an article by Ray Coleman from UK "Melody Maker " magazine, 9
Jan 1965, and had already been used for international mono singles in
1965, see

"New Hits By Bob Dylan" - 7" mono EP, CBS 6288 (West Germany), 5 Jul 1966:
|
R-0051-3 Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 - single edit, 2:26 The other tracks on this mono EP were Bob Dylan's Blues from Freewheelin', Pledging My Time (the full album version from Blonde On Blonde, not the 2:06 edit R-0052) and the single Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?

Various Artists - "This Is Folk Rock Vol. 2" - stereo vinyl LP, CBS YS-665-C (Japan), Jul 1966:
Despite the fact that Bob always rejected claims he invented or ever played
"folk rock", CBS insisted in sticking that label on him! For the first
album in the This Is Folk Rock series, see
International
Compilations: Various Artist Albums 1962-69.
![]() CBS YS-665-C (Japan) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
Side 1 had a rarity: R-0051-4 Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 - single edit, 2:26 (stereo) Side 2 had One Of Must Know (Sooner Or Later) but it was the regular stereo album version, not the edited version (R-0380, 3:07) or the unfaded version (R-0050, 4:49) - for both of these see here. I also misreported that Side 2 of this album had the stereo version of Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window? - this is now confirmed to be the "standard" mono version, as found on Biograph (1985, remastered CD reissue 1997) and the 2001 Essential Bob Dylan/Ultimate Bob Dylan compilations. The only occurrence of the stereo version is on a CBS stereo acetate, see 1965. The superb stereo version is in circulation amongst collectors on several bootleg albums and should be released by Columbia. (The CBS Spanish 7" EP and singles released in 1972 are now proved to have the track in mispressed mono, not stereo.) The other tracks on the album are from the Byrds, Simon & Garfunkel, Chad & Jill Stuart and Chad & Jeremy. Thanks to Hans Seegers for scans and information. |
