"Greatest Hits" - mono vinyl LP, CBS BPG 62847 (UK), Mar 1967:

GH1UKMonoFront.jpg (22529 bytes)
CBS BPG 62847 (UK) - front scan by Hans Seegers (both releases)

This album has a different sleeve and tracklist from the US release of Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits with twelve tracks instead of ten. The front photo is by Jerry Schatzberg from the Blonde On Blonde photo shoot and the rear cover shows six Dylan albums omitting Another Side.

This UK tracklist is:

Side 1: Blowin' In The Wind; It Ain't Me, Babe; The Times They Are A-Changin'; Mr. Tambourine Man; She Belongs To Me; It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
Side 2: Subterranean Homesick Blues; One Of Us Must Know (Sooner Or Later); Like A Rolling Stone; Just Like A Woman; Rainy Day Women # 12 & 35 (unique 2:06 edit); I Want You

CBS BPG 62847 (UK) - detail of Side 1, scan by Hans Seegers (second release)

 The US tracklist is:

Side 1: Rainy Day Women # 12 & 35 (album version); Blowin' In The Wind; Subterranean Homesick Blues; Like A Rolling Stone
Side 2: Positively 4th Street (1965 single); The Times They Are A-Changin'; It Ain't Me, Babe; Mr. Tambourine Man; I Want You; Just Like A Woman

As can be seen, Positively 4th Street is left off the UK album, replaced by She Belongs To Me; It's All Over Now, Baby Blue and One Of Us Must Know (Sooner Or Later). This substitution meant that the tracklist of the Nov 1971 UK 2LP release of Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II, retitled More Bob Dylan Greatest Hits, also had to be changed (see International Album Releases (Dylan-only Compilations) 1970s). Positively 4th Street, missing from here, was added to that album, replacing She Belongs To Me which appears here, while It's All Over Now, Baby Blue, which also appears here, was replaced on the 1971 UK set by New Morning.

Roger Ford informs me that this album is not in true mono, but a mono reduction of the stereo album. (The mono version of the US release of Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits was compiled separately from the mono tracks.) For the stereo version of the album, see below.

R-0251M Blowin' In The Wind - first guitar note missing (mono version - mono reduction of R-0251, see below)

R-0537M One Of Us Must Know (Sooner Or Later) - not R-0050 (see 1966 and 1966 Blonde On Blonde Rarities), but a mono reduction of R-0537 (see below)

R-0656M Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 - shorter single edit (2:06)
Not R-0052 (see 1966), but a mono reduction of R-0656 (see below)

There were two releases, with different details on the rear sleeve and labels. Gerd Rundel's first release copy has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - 62847 A1, Side 2 - 62847 B1. The first release sleeve has a laminated front, a matt rear and three folded over flaps. The rear sleeve has "MONO" below the CBS logo at top right, the printer name (Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd.) at bottom left, and the CBS copyright information at bottom right. The second sleeve just has "62847" below the CBS logo, a text box across the bottom and the CBS copyright information at bottom left. The printer's name is no longer shown. The second release labels have a "MONO"/arrows logo to the left of the centre hole and "331/3" in a different type face.

Thanks to Hans Seegers and Gerd Rundel for information and scans (I have only ever owned this album in stereo.)


"Greatest Hits" - mono vinyl LP, CBS BP-473391 (New Zealand), 1967:


CBS BP-473391 (New Zealand) - front scan by Stuart Moore
This album is almost identical to the UK release. The record has orange CBS labels with the Allan's logo (the then CBS distributor in Australia and New Zealand). For some reason, Australia had mono and stereo releases of the 10-track US compilation, not the UK version, see Mono Album Releases and International Album Releases (Regular).

Thanks to Stuart Moore and Bill Hester for information and scans.

"Greatest Hits" - stereo vinyl LP, CBS SBPG 62847/CBS 460907 (UK), Mar 1967:
For the UK tracklist, see above. My stereo copy has the mono cover with just "62847" as the catalogue number on front and rear. It has a gold foil sticker with "Stereo" in the rear top right corner next to the CBS logo. Because of the large number of releases of the stereo album, full details are now here. For the mono version of the album, see above and Mono Album Releases.

GH1UKFront.JPG (23292 bytes)
CBS SBPG 62847 (UK) - front (my copy)

R-0251 Blowin' In The Wind - first guitar note missing (stereo version)

R-0537 One Of Us Must Know (Sooner Or Later) - unfaded stereo version (still available on this album's CD releases, see below), also on the gold CD release of Blonde On Blonde, 1990s (now deleted, see 1966 Blonde On Blonde Rarities)

R-0656 Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 - shorter single edit (2:06)
This is an edited version shorter than the standard single edit, R-0052 (see 1966). It only has the first two verses and unlike the single edit it fades out in the final instrumental section. Although the cover shows the time as 2.06 it actually plays as 2.02.

Thanks to Hans Seegers that this vinyl album was reissued in the 1970s with orange/yellow labels (same catalogue number), and in the 1980s with red labels and a new catalogue number - CBS 460907 (same as the current CD, see below). Thanks to Patrick Helfrich for the label scan from the 1970s release.

"Greatest Hits" - digitally remastered 30th Anniversary CD re-release, Columbia 460907 9 (UK), 1997:


Columbia 460907 9 (UK) - jewel case with sticker (my copy)
Thanks to Gino Galvez for pointing out this remastered edition no longer contains R-0251, the version of Blowin' In The Wind with the first guitar note missing. I've confirmed this by comparing my copy of 460907 9 with the version on the remastered release of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. The CD release also no longer contains R-0656, here Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 is the full album version at 4:37.

R-0537-2 One Of Us Must Know (Sooner Or Later) - unfaded stereo version (thanks to Roger Ford for confirming that this CD is the only place this specific version can be found today)

This album was also released with the same catalogue number in a Best Of The Best Gold edition in 1998, see here.


Columbia 460907 9 (UK) - sticker from jewel case


Columbia 460907 9 (UK) - outside of unfolded front insert

4609079Back2.jpg (26980 bytes)
Columbia 460907 9 (UK) - rear insert

There are four variants of this release. The 1997 release (my copy) has no catalogue number on the upper right of the rear insert, the gold/black sticker on the front of the clear jewel case, and bar-code "5 99746 09791". Keith Schweiger has two copies, also with no catalogue number at top right of the rear insert and the same bar-code. One has "Sony Music" at the bottom left of the rear insert, the other doesn't have "Sony Music" but has the catalogue number above the bar code on the right. Keith's first copy has the same front sticker as mine, the second copy has two front stickers, one with "Nice Price" and the other advertising the 30th Anniversary of the album, 1967-1997. The 1997 releases have an extended booklet with the Columbia "Nice Price" catalogue. The 2000 re-release has the catalogue number on the upper right of the rear insert (not shown), no front stickers, and bar-code "5 99746 308896". All the discs are the same except for different matrix numbers.

Thanks to Hans Seegers, Bill Hester and Keith Schweiger for information.


Columbia 460907 9 (UK) - CD with original CBS LP label-style design

"Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. III" - stereo vinyl LP: CBS S 63111 (Holland), 1967; CBS SBP 234735 (Australia), 1970s; CBS SBP 474357 (New Zealand), 1970s; CD: CBS 465034 2 (Australia), 1989, re-released mid-1990s and early 2000s:
This album (using the US Greatest Hits cover) was also released in Australia and New Zealand in the 1970s and on CD in Australia in 1989, thanks to Trevor Gibb and Bill Hester for the information. The CD is still on sale in Australia, which must cause confusion with the 1994 CD Greatest Hits Vol. 3! Jon Wilson has a Greek vinyl release of this compilation - scans required. Gerd Rundel's Dutch vinyl copy has a sleeve that is laminated front and back. The record has orange CBS labels with stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - S 63111 1A, Side 2 - S 63111 1B.

Tracklisting:

Side 1: Positively 4th Street; One Too Many Mornings; Pledging My Time (alternate stereo mix); She Belongs To Me; My Back Pages; All I Really Want To Do
Side 2: House Of The Rising Sun; Corrina, Corrina; Man Of Constant Sorrow; I Shall Be Free; Tombstone Blues; 4th Time Around (alternate stereo mix)

R-0062-2 Pledging My Time - alternate stereo mix to the one used on the first 1966 US stereo pressing of Blonde On Blonde, that first appeared on the Columbia Special Products compilation Zenith Salutes... The Teen Sound, see 1966
This mix was used on the remixed 1968 US stereo pressing of the album, see 1966 Blonde On Blonde Rarities

R-0063 4th Time Around - alternate stereo mix to the one used on the first 1966 US stereo pressing of Blonde On Blonde
This mix was used on the remixed 1968 US stereo pressing of the album, see 1966 Blonde On Blonde Rarities

Thanks to Roger Ford for the correction of this entry, who adds: "These were alternate mixes to the ones released on copies of the Blonde On Blonde album at that time (1967), but these mixes then appeared on the 1968 remixed US version of Blonde On Blonde, and became the "standard" stero vinyl mix."

Richard McDonald also informs me: "I have a official release cassette version of Blonde on Blonde dating from the late 1970s which features a completely different (and far better) mix of 4th Time Around, featuring an accordion-ish sounding instrument." This is in fact the mix used in R-0063, which features a harmonium-sounding keyboard instrument not present in the 1966 mix.

Thanks to Wim van der Mark, Stuart Moore and Gerd Rundel for information and scans. Thanks to Éamonn Ó Catháin for the copy of the CD on sale in Ireland. It has a single card front insert with the song titles on the reverse and a plain blue/black rear insert, again with just the song titles. Thanks to Stuart Moore for scans of the Australian LP - the record has orange/yellow CBS labels and is housed in a paper inner sleeve (unusual for Australia where clear plastic sleeves were most common at the time). Thanks to Fred Muller for scans of the New Zealand LP, this also has CBS orange/yellow labels.

Thanks to Bill Hester and Stuart Moore for the scan of earlier Australian CD releases than of my copy. The first and third sets of jewel case inserts are identical, the second release has "Select" on both the front and rear inserts. The first two CDs were made by Distronics and are silver with black and red text, the current CD is red with silver text.


"If You Gotta Go, Go Now"/"To Ramona" - 7" mono single, CBS 2921 (NL), Aug 1967:


CBS 2921 (NL) - front scan by Hans Seegers
R-0055 If You Gotta Go, Go Now - out-take from Bringing It All Back Home recorded at Columbia Studios, New York, 15 Jan1965
The A-side of this single manufactured in Holland, and also released in Belgium and Luxemburg.

This is an alternate take to the version released in 1991 on The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3, with backup vocals on the choruses overdubbed by a group called the Poppies. The Poppies were an all-girl group from Jackson, MS. They didn't achieve great success in the 1960s, but their lead singer Dorothy Moore had an international solo hit in 1975 with Misty Blue. Their recording career as a group seems to have occurred in 1966-67 only, so I infer that the overdubbing took place not long before the single was released. No such session for this time period is listed in Michael Krogsgaard's series on Bob Dylan's recording sessions in "The Telegraph" and "The Bridge", although we do know that two composite versions of this song were earlier produced from an overdub session at Columbia Studios, New York, on 21 May 1965. Composite 1 was released as this single, Composite 2 was released on The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3. The musicians who took part aren't named, and there's certainly no mention of singers.

The B-side was the album version of To Ramona. There are two label variations: the first has "P 1967" to the left of the centre hole on two lines; the second has "è 1967" ("P" in a circle) to the left of the centre hole on one line.

Hans Seegers adds: "Some collectors claim that this single was mistakenly released by CBS Holland. Research at CBS showed, however, that this was not true. As with all Dutch Dylan releases of those days, the release itself and the compilation of its A- and B-side were determined by Columbia USA, who also supplied the master tapes for this single. So for CBS Holland this was a normal release as any other Dylan single. It may be possible, as other collectors claim, that Dylan objected to the release of If You Gotta Go, Go Now, but no proof whatsoever at CBS was found that this led to the withdrawal of it from record shops. Actually there was even a second run at the pressing plant causing the two label variations known so far. This being the most sought after Dutch single has more to do with the fact that Holland was the only country where If You Gotta Go, Go Now was released legitimately and less with its rarity amongst Dutch singles. There are other Dutch singles that are much harder to get!"

Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans.


"Nine Songs Publisher’s Sampler" 12" single-sided mono vinyl LP, Warner Bros./7 Arts Music Inc. XTV 221567 (USA), 1967:
These are all Witmark & Sons demos recorded in the Witmark offices, New York, in 1962-63 except R-0037, which is an alternate Columbia studio take from 1964 used as a demo. The record is single-sided so there is no label on Side 2. For an acetate with two of these and other Witmark demos, see 1963. Thanks to John R. Overall for information that this is really badly pressed and appears not to have been equalised for LP.
