"Rainy Day Women #12 & 35"/"Pledging My Time" - 7" mono promo and commercial singles, Columbia 4-43592 (USA), 22 Mar 1966:
 Chicago Radio Singles Chart, 13 May 1966, picture found by Éamonn Ó Catháin |

US trade ad for Rainy Day Women 7" single, scan by Hans Seegers (form missing) |
Thanks to Ian Woodward for pointing out that the Artist's Contract Card illustrated on an inside page of the 2015 6CD set The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 - Bob Dylan 1965-1966 The Cutting Edge Deluxe Edition (printed on the card pocket holding CD3) shows the release date of Columbia 4-43592 as "3/22/66" (22 Mar 1966). This is slightly earlier than previously thought. Éamonn Ó Catháin has found a Personality Radio Chart for Chicago, IL, for Friday 13 May 1966 listing Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 as #3, having been played for seven weeks, which gives a start date for radio play date as around 25 Mar 1966, confirming Ian's March date. The US trade ad on the right appeared in the 2 Apr 1966 issue of "Billboard" magazine, which was on sale from 27 Mar 1966. "Billboard" is aimed at the music trade and the form on the bottom (missing from the scan) asked the applicant's job title and the options were all music business jobs.
Columbia 4-43592 (USA), 22 Mar 1966:
 Columbia 4-43592 (USA) black vinyl promo - A-side (R-0051M) scan by Hans Seegers |
R-0051M Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 - single edit, mono version (2:26), album track is 4:35 R-0052 Pledging My Time - single edit (2.06), album track is 3:48 Roger Ford adds: "These aren't just faded out versions of the album tracks. Rainy Day Women has verse 3 edited out, and then fades out in the instrumental section between verses 4 and 5. Pledging My Time has verse 2 edited out, and then fades out at the end of verse 4 (it starts to fade while Dylan is still singing!). Verse 5, of course, is missing."
The US red vinyl promo 7" single shown has R-0051 on both
sides. The black vinyl promo is the same as the commercial single with R-0052 on
the B-side. These singles did not have picture sleeves. According to the matrix
numbers Pledging My Time (JZSP 113563) must have been intended to be the A-side,
as Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 is JZSP 113564, but the single was never marketed
like that. For an even shorter edit of Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 (2:06) on the
UK's version of Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, see 1967. |

Manuel García Jara has a jukebox copy of the commercial single which comes in a blue Columbia US generic sleeve with jukebox strips. Manuel also has a second variant of the commercial single which has the A-side song title on one line instead of two. The B-side looks the same as the first variant B-side.
A completely different stereo single of Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 was issued in Japan in 1968 (CBS/Sony SONG 80165) - this is also very hard to find and expensive but it does not have the edited version as here and is thus placed on the International 7" Stereo Singles 1968-69 page.

This single also did not have a picture sleeve. Note the different label design from the US single, including "PRINTED IN CAN." in the bottom circumference text. Again, Pledging My Time (JZSP 113563) must have been intended to be the A-side, as Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 is JZSP 113564, but the single was never marketed like that. There are three record label variants with different text placements.
Variant 1: text higher than on Variants 2 and 3
Variant 2: A-side - all text is noticeably lower than for Variant 1. B-side - to the left of the centre hole "45 RPM" and "Time..." are noticeably further to the left, there are also differences between the Columbia logo on the right and the catalogue number below.
Variant 3: all the text (speed information, catalogue number and title track) is noticeable lower on both sides

"Rainy Day Women #12 & 35"/"Pledging My Time" - 7" mono acetate and singles, CBS 202307 (UK), May 1966:
 CBS 202307 (UK) - acetate A-side scan by Manuel García Jara (R-0051M) |
Thanks to Manuel García Jara for scans of a CBS UK metal acetate of the A-side with a discoloured typed CBS Advance Copy label. The song title is wrongly shown as "RAINY DAY WOMAN #12 & 35". The commercial UK single occurs in two record label variants, neither with a picture sleeve. The first variant has songs credited to "Dwarf Music Ltd.", the second variant has songs credited to "B. Feldman". Manuel García Jara has a copy of the second "B. Feldman" variant with a solid centre. Manuel also has the B. Feldman sheet music for Rainy Day Women #12 & 35. |

"Rainy Day Women #12 & 35"/"Pledging My Time" - 7"
mono singles, CBS 2307 (NL), May 1966:
Tom Willems says the book "Hypnotist Collectors" by Jean-Louis Dréau and
Robert Schlockoff (Média Presse, France, 1989) gives the release date of this
single as 30 May 1966, but the single entered the Dutch charts on 21 May 1966,
so was either released shortly before that, or the chart entry was based on
advance sales. Simon Blokker's Dutch copy (with record label catalogue number
"2.307", see below) has a date on the rear sleeve of
"20-5-'66" (20 May 1966), so Tom would appear to be correct.
|
CBS 2307 (NL) - front scan by Hans Seegers (with misprint) |
The Dutch single occurs in two sleeve variants and three label variants. The first front sleeve had the orange print misaligned on the catalogue number - detail shown on right. The second front sleeve is corrected. The rear sleeve was generic for the Benelux countries and shows nine contemporary CBS singles. |

|
|
 CBS 2307 (NL) - B-side scan by Hans Seegers (R-0052, variant 3 - "2307", "45 rpm") |
The first label design has catalogue number "2.307" and "45 RPM" to the right of the centre hole in large letters, the second shows the number as just "2307" and also has "45 RPM" in large letters. The third design has catalogue number "2307" and "45 rpm" in small letters. Manuel García Jara has a copy of the first variant single where the "45 RPM" is centred over the copyright logos instead of being left-aligned as on Hans' copy.
Simon Blokker adds that the pressing of the vinyl of both singles is completely different. The duration of the songs is the same, but it looks like the grooves on "2.307" are much more compact than on "2307" (difficult to show on scans). The one with the more compact grooves ("2.307") has stamped matrix numbers: A-side - 2.307 1, B-side - 2.307 2 plus something like "JN" underneath the number on both sides. The one with the wider grooves ("2307") has matrix numbers: A-side - ZSP113564-2AC (stamped) 2307-A (handwritten), B-side - ZSP113563-1 (stamped) 2307-B (handwritten).

 CBS DP 2307 (France) - A-side scan by Hans Seegers (promo single, R-0051M, variant 1) |
This promo-only 7" mono single had white CBS labels. As far as I know this single was not released commercially, but these two tracks appeared on a French 7" mono EP, see below. The labels of Manuel García Jara's copy differ slightly from those of Hans Seegers' copy because the black variable text elements are printed lower on both sides. For the CBS generic sleeve used for this promo single, see 7" Single Sleeves. Thanks to Hans Seegers and Manuel García Jara for information and scans. |

"Rainy Day Women #12 & 35"/"Pledging My Time" - 7" mono commercial singles, CBS 2307 (Denmark/Norway/Sweden), May 1966:
|
|
CBS Scandinavian 7" singles were normally all pressed in Norway, with the countries of Norway, Sweden and Denmark using locally-printed sleeves. The Danish and Norwegian sleeves were plain white on the reverse, the Swedish sleeve was folded with the same design on both sides. CBS 2307 is unique in that Sweden pressed its own single separately as well, so that the record has "MADE IN SWEDEN" on the labels. |

The Italian single, CBS 2307, was also available as white label jukebox releases with catalogue numbers SDJB 2307 and JB 2307. JB 2307 has two label variants - the second has a horizontal line below the "45" on the left hand side of the centre hole. The commercial single has orange CBS labels. Manuel García Jara's copy has "Prod. B. Johnston" below "BOB DYLAN" below the centre hole, missing from the labels of Hans Seegers' commercial copy and the jukebox copies.

 CBS LL-928-C (Japan) - B-side scan by Manuel García Jara (R-0052, shows 2:06 timing) |
This Japanese single in a generic sleeve with a four page folded insert is very hard to find and expensive.
Bizarrely, the record labels of Wil Gielen's copy each have a sticker over the CBS logo and a ring of tape covering the copyright information round the circumference of the label. The reason why this should have been done is obscure, it's possible it was done for a music club. Wil's copies of Just Like A Woman/Obviously 5 Believers (CBS LL-987-C, 1965, see 1966 Just Like A Woman) and Subterranean Homesick Blues/She Belongs To Me (CBS LL-764-C, 1965, see Mono 7" Singles & EPs 1965) also have the same defacing, so have come from the same source. Apparently similar taping has been found on items imported from Hong Kong, so these may have been exported from Japan to another Far East country

"Rainy Day Women" is incorrectly translated into Spanish as "Una Mujer En Un Dia Lluvioso [A Woman And A Rainy Day]. It was translated into Spanish differently but also also incorrectly as "Una Mujer En La Lluvia [A Woman In The Rain]" in the Argentinean and Uruguayan compilations El Trovador De Nuestro Tiempo (see Mono Dylan-Only Compilation Albums 1960s) and Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits (the song was never released as a single there). In Spain, the CBS 5660 EP below and the album Blonde On Blonde have song titles in English only but this song was correctly translated in the plural as "Mujeres De Días Lluviosos" in the album Grandes Éxitos (see here). Pledging My Time is idiosynchraticalaly translated here as "Mi Tiempo Es Tuyo [My Time Is Yours]"!

The sleeve exists in two variants: one with "DISCOPHON - BARCELONA" at the bottom left-hand side of the rear sleeve and one with "LIM - J. CORRALES, 42 - ESPLUGAS LL." in the same position. The "DISCOPHON" copy shown has an extra stamp below the EP picture but this has been added to the sleeve, Manuel García Jara also has a copy without it. The rear of the second sleeve is laminated and has a cutaway on the left-hand edge not present on the first sleeve. This also has the "J. CORRALES" text. Both the "DISCOPHON" sleeve and the cutaway sleeve come with the second label variant. The "CORRALES" sleeve without the cutaway can come with all four label variants.

R-0051M-3 Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 - single edit, 2:26 (mono version) The other tracks on this mono EP were Bob Dylan's Blues from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, 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? The sleeve is laminated on both sides. The record of Manuel García Jara's copy is the first release, with "EP 6288 a" on the A-side to the right of the centre hole, and "EP 6288 b" on the B-side. On Gerd Rundel's copy the labels just have "EP 6288" on both sides. The text to the left and right of the centre hole is higher than on the labels of Manuel's copy. |

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 Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 - single edit, 2:26 (stereo version) 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 2000/2001 Essential Bob Dylan/Ultimate Bob Dylan compilations. The only occurrence of the stereo version R-0513 until 2015 was on a CBS stereo acetate, see 1965. (The CBS Spanish 7" EP and singles released in 1972 are now proved to have the track in mispressed mono, not stereo.) The single version released in Nov 2015 on the 18CD Collector's Edition of The Cutting Edge 1965-1966: The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 (CD10, track 12) is in stereo and has been remixed from the original tapes. R-0513 will still remain a rarity, because of the limited availability of this massive set. |

The other tracks on the album are from the Byrds, Simon & Garfunkel, Chad & Jill Stuart and Chad & Jeremy. Label scans required!

"I Want You"/"Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" - 7" mono single, CBS BA 301111 (Greece), 1966:
 CBS BA 301111 (Greece) - A-side scan by Manuel García Jara |
This single again had no picture sleeve and came in a generic CBS sleeve. The record has orange CBS
labels. The length of the A-side is not given, but I assume it is the 2:54
edit R-0322, so also see
here. The length of the B-side is not given,
but I assume it is the 2:26 edit R-0051M. At this time CBS records were
distributed from Athens by a company called "Music-box". This sleeve
therefore has the words 'Distributed by "Music-box" Athens' overprinted. Thanks to Manuel García Jara for information and scans. |

The album also includes Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds. Both records have the same front sleeve with some text in French. Only the front of the Israeli copy is laminated. R-0051M-4 Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 - single edit, 2:26 (mono version) The front cover of this album was used as the design for the reverse of the rear insert of the 2CD set The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 - Bob Dylan 1965-1966 The Best Of The Cutting Edge, Nov 2015. |

"Rainy Day Women #12 & 35"/"Like A Rolling Stone" - mono 7" single in "Hall Of Fame" series, Columbia 4-33100 (USA), Oct 1966(?):
 |
I have this "Hall of Fame" reissue single with two
original A-sides dated as 1973, but there is evidence that Columbia 4-33100
was originally released in Oct 1966. More information will be given when
available. For the mono single releases from 1973 onwards, see Mono 7" Singles & EPs 1970-76. For the location of all mono and stereo singles in the Columbia "Hall Of Fame" series, see "Hall Of Fame". For US and Canadian "Hall Of Fame" and Collectables 7" sleeves, see 7" Single Sleeves. |

"Bob Dylan" - 7" mono EP, CBS 5779 (Portugal), 1967:
 CBS 5779 (Portugal) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
This mono EP had Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 and Pledging My Time from the mono release of Blonde On Blonde on the A-side and Gates Of Eden from Bringing It All Back Home on the B-side. It was released three times with the same sleeve and slightly different labels as shown. |

R-0051M-5 Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 - single edit, 2:26 (mono version)
Keith Venturoni has a copy with first variant labels that plays the wrong tracks on the A-side, a 2:26 edit of the live version of Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues from Liverpool, 1966, B-side of the I Want You single (R-0054, 5:41, see 1966) plus I Want You. (2:26 is the length of the expected Rainy Day Women edit, R-0051M.) The B-side is Gates Of Eden as expected. Arie de Reus and Hans Seegers have copies like this as well, and as the edited live track is a rarity, details are also listed in 1966.
Are there any copies out there that play the correct tracks on the A-side? Information required!
The first two variants have "FABRICADO EM PORTUGAL [MADE IN PORTUGAL]" at the bottom of the labels, but the third variant (which may have been released later in the 1960s) has "FABRICADO EM PORTUGAL POR F.P.D. [MADE IN PORTUGAL BY F.P.D.]" at the bottom. "F.P.D." means "Fábrica Portuguesa de Discos" but the complete name of this company was actually "Fábrica Portuguesa de Discos da Rádio Triunfo", then known as just "F.P.D." and later as just "Rádio Triunfo".
Manuel García Jara has a promo copy of the first variant in a generic CBS Portugal orange/white sleeve, with a missing round promo sticker on the A-side and a white rectangular sticker on the B-side with text in Portuguese and English: "DISCO AMOSTRA INVENDAVEL/NOT FOR SALE SAMPLE COPY".
