"I Want You" - 10" mono acetate, Columbia (USA), May 1966:
 |
R-0529 I Want You - same take as used on the Blonde On Blonde
album, but with a completely different mix
A known copy of this acetate has "voice too low"
handwritten on the label. The mix was never used commercially.
The single-sided acetate illustrated below does not have the "voice too low"
comment, and is probably R-0322.

"I Want You" - second 10" mono acetate, Columbia (USA), May 1966:

Acetate label scan by Hans Seegers (R-0322) |
The single-sided acetate illustrated left does not have the "voice too low" comment
(see above), and is probably R-0322 (see below). Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scan. |

This single was also available as a white label promo with red text. The copy shown has stamped matrix numbers:
Side 1
- ZSP114563-1C, Side 2 - ZSP114564-1D. The promo single was not in
fact available with red vinyl as previously reported. The labels of Kenneth
Robson's copy of this single are missing the Witmark copyright information below
the track time on the right of the centre hole. The plastic centres are generic
and not Columbia issue. R-0322 I Want You - slight edit - 2:54 (full-length version
is 3:07)
The US, UK, French and Australian single labels show the length at 2:57, not 2:54

R-0054 Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
live at Liverpool with the
Hawks, 14 May 1966, B-side (listed as "Recorded Live in Liverpool England"
This live performance, never released on a regular Columbia album, is also on the Japanese promo LP Mr. D's Collection #1 (see
1974), the Japanese
promo EP Mr. D's Collection #2 (see
1976), the 1978 Australian set Masterpieces
(see 1978),
the Japanese Mr. D's Collection #3
promo CD (see 1993),
the Japanese Dylan Ga Rock
promo 2CD set (see 1993
and 2010) and the
Capitol/EMI boxed set The Band: A Musical History (see
2005). All versions are as far as I know still in mono as originally
recorded. Sadly, it does not appear on the B-side of a withdrawn CBS
Spanish EP (see 1972), because the record was
mispressed with It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry from Highway
61 Revisited instead!
This outstanding performance is one of the most prized Dylan rarities
and it demands inclusion on a regular Dylan album. It is surprising it wasn't on the
2001 Japanese live album
Bob Dylan Live 1961-2000: Thirty-Nine Years Of Great Concert Performances,
see 2001. This track is now
one of the 42 rarities included for download with the Aug 2006 Apple
iTunes Bob Dylan
Collection, see Online Performances
(Other).
A rarity from Hans Seegers (right) "Believe
it or not, this is one of the rarest single items in the US. It's a special
sleeve for the single I Want You/Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues, Columbia 4-43683,
released on June 10, 1966. This sleeve was a page in the magazine "Cashbox" no.
16 in 1966. To receive the free single, the folded page had to be sent to
Columbia Records. As you see on the scan on left is the result. You also
see the dotted line where to fold. This is impossible to find nowadays.
Extremely rare. It's actually strange that they did the stunt with this single,
because it had already a beautiful sleeve." Thanks to Viktor Ericsson
for pointing out the ad also appeared in the issue of "Billboard" dated June
25th, 1966.
Thanks to Sam C. Visser, Hans Seegers, David
Plentus and Kenneth Robson for information and scans.

This single with a push-out centre for jukebox use came in a generic
orange/white CBS UK sleeve. Thanks to David Burgess for scans and the ticket
from the Liverpool Odeon Theatre on 14 May 1966 when R-0054 was recorded. David
also took the photo of the Liverpool Odeon Theatre site and two helpful
passers-by in 2011. The girl is holding a picture of the single B-side, the guy
is holding a picture of David's ticket.

"I Want You"/"Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" - 7"
mono single, CBS
2258 (NL/West Germany/Norway/Sweden/Denmark), Jun 1966:
Label scans required of all versions of CBS 2258.
|

CBS 2258 (NL) - front scan by Hans Seegers

Thanks to Éamonn O Catháin for the Dutch postcard
with a picture of this single (Ian Woodward says this is not contemporary, but
dates from around ten years later). The plastic centres on the Dutch
single and illustrated on the postcard are generic and not CBS issue. The
Swedish single had a fold-out paper sleeve. Thanks to Francisco Lima for information
about the Danish single. Hans Seegers explains that up to 1973 CBS Denmark had
their records manufactured at the Polygram pressing plant in Oslo, Norway, so
they are identical to the records released in Norway. Up to 1968 the sleeves
were printed in Denmark so were different from the Norwegian sleeves. The rear
of the Danish sleeves were blank, as shown.
Thanks to Hans Seegers, Éamonn O Catháin, Olav Langum and Dave Mansell for information and
scans.
