This page includes all stereo releases of the 1967 album released in the UK with a different tracklist from the US 1967 Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits album (see International Albums (Regular). It has been separated from International Album Releases (Dylan-only Compilations) 1960s because of the large number of releases. This album is also included on the 1967 page because it contains rarities!
This page is still incomplete. If you have any entries to add to the list or additions/corrections to
existing entries, please let me know!
Please note I cannot value your Dylan rarities -
see the Mission page for reasons why. Contact the
dealers on my Trading page for assistance!

Vinyl and Tape Releases
"Greatest Hits" - stereo vinyl compilation LP, CBS SBPG 62847 (UK), Mar 1967, re-released 1975; CBS 460907 1 (UK), 1988:
This album has the same serial number as the 1967 French release with the US tracklist (see International Albums (Regular). For the mono version of the album, see both 1967 and Mono Album Releases. It was released in at least eight countries world-wide as well as the UK: Greece, Holland, India, Israel, Italy, Kenya, New Zealand and Spain.
This release had a different front cover picture (by Jerry Schatzberg) and a different tracklist from the US version - Positively 4th Street is missing (which means that every track here had previously appeared on LP in the UK), but is replaced by She Belongs To Me. (This swap was reversed on the second Greatest Hits UK and US vinyl albums!) There are two additional tracks: It's All Over Now, Baby Blue and One Of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later).
This UK tracklist is:
Side 1: Blowin' In The Wind (error with first guitar note missing, R-0251, see 1967); 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) (unfaded stereo version, R-0537, see 1967); Like A Rolling Stone; Just Like A Woman; Rainy Day Women # 12 & 35 (unique 2:06 edit, R-0656, see 1967); I Want You
Whether the 1960s UK pressings actually contain R-0656 is now in doubt since on my copy listed below Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 is the full album version at 4:35, despite being listed as 2:06 on the sleeve. Hans Seegers believes that only the non-UK pressings of this album such as the Greek releases listed below had the 2:06 edit!
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
 CBS SBPG 62847 (UK) - front scan by Hans Seegers (first release) |
Hans Seegers' first release copy has a laminated front sleeve with three fold-over flaps, printed "STEREO"/arrows logos on the front and rear of the sleeve, and the catalogue number is listed as "SBPG 62847" on the rear. The record shows the playing speed as "33" on both sides and the songs are credited to "Blossom Music" and "B. Feldman" with individual publishing dates. All songs on Side 1 are credited to "Blossom Music" and on Side 2 tracks 1 and 3 are credited to "Blossom Music" while tracks 2, 4, 5 and 6 are credited to "B. Feldman". There are no track timings. |

On the Side 2 label, producer Bob Johnston's name is misspelled as "Bob Johnson". This mistake was repeated on the labels of all the releases. The rear sleeve has the printer information at bottom left and the CBS copyright information at bottom right. It was printed by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. and has "GB" printed vertically at bottom right.

release, printed by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd.)
The two later sleeves have just "62847" as the catalogue number on the rear sleeve. Gerd's second release copy has a white "STEREO"/arrows logo sticker to the left of the CBS logo on the rear sleeve. The bottom of the sleeves are completely different - the first and second releases have the printer information at bottom left and the CBS copyright information at bottom right. The first release sleeve was printed by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. and the second and third sleeves were printed by Ernest J. Day & Co., Ltd. All sleeves have "GB" printed vertically next to the spine at bottom right.

CBS SBPG 62847 (UK) - front (second, third and fourth releases, my copy) |
The record of Gerd Rundel's second release copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - SBPG 62847 A2, Side 2 - SBPG 62847 B2. His Side 1 label is the same as the first release and has "33" as the playing speed, while his Side 2 label is the same as mine below with "33⅓" as the playing speed. All songs on Side 1 are still credited to "Blossom Music" and on Side 2 tracks 1 and 3 are credited to "Blossom Music" while tracks 2, 4, 5 and 6 are credited to "B. Feldman". This time all tracks are shown as "è1966". Again, there are no track timings. |

My third release copy was bought in mid-1968 and has the same front sleeve as the second release. The rear sleeve has a gold foil "Stereo" sticker to the left of the CBS logo. The rear sleeve also has a text box about CBS stereo records, shorter copyright information at bottom left, and printer information at bottom right. The record labels show the playing speed at "33⅓". All songs on Side 1 are still credited to "Blossom Music" and on Side 2 tracks 1 and 3 are credited to "Blossom Music" while tracks 2, 4, 5 and 6 are credited to "B. Feldman". This time all tracks are shown as "è1966". Again, there are no track timings. My third release copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - SBPG 62847 A2, Side 2 - SBPG 62847 B1 (Henry V. Bell's copy has the same numbers). |

The fourth release from 1968-69 has the same front sleeve as the second and third releases, but a different rear sleeve with no stereo indication and no printer's name. On the record labels the credit to Blossom Music has been replaced by Kinney Music. All songs on Side 1 are credited to "Kinney Music Ltd." and on Side 2 tracks 1 and 3 are credited to "Kinney Music Ltd." while tracks 2, 5 and 6 are credited to "Big Ben Music Ltd." and only track 4 remains credited to "B. Feldman & Co. Ltd.". Again all tracks are shown as "è1966" and there are no track timings. The playing speed is again "33⅓".

Thanks to Hans Seegers for the information that this vinyl
album was reissued in 1975 with orange/yellow record labels (same catalogue
number). These later releases do not contain R-0656 - Rainy Day Women #12 &
35 is now the album length of 4:35 (the track time on the rear sleeve is
still 2:06!). "STEREO" is printed on both the front and rear sleeves. All songs on the Side 1 record label are credited to "Kinney Music Ltd." and on Side 2 tracks 1 and 3 are credited to "Kinney Music Ltd." while tracks 2, 5 and 6 are credited to "Big Ben Music Ltd." and only track 4 remains credited to "B. Feldman". There are no copyright dates and the track timings are included, showing track 5 on Side 2 as 4:35. |

This 1970s edition of the album was released at least twice because there are two different label designs - the most obvious difference is that the artist name and album title are on either two lines or just one. Thanks to Patrick Helfrich for the alternate label scan.

CBS S 62847 (UK) - front scan by Hans Seegers (1985 release) |
The album was re-released in 1985 with the catalogue number shortened to "S 62847". The front sleeve was the same as the 1970s releases and the sleeve was again printed by Shorewood Packaging Co. Ltd. It was first released with orange/yellow CBS labels and then with red CBS labels. There are two variants of the orange/yellow labels: the first (a copy owned by Paul Shenton pictured in "Isis" magazine #151) has "MADE IN ENGLAND" at bottom centre. The second (Ian Woodward's copy) has "MADE IN ENGLAND" moved from bottom centre to the right label edge as part of the circumference text. |

 CBS S 62847 (UK) - detail of Side 2, scan by Hans Seegers (1985 release, variant 3) |
As the 1970s releases, on the Side 1 record label all tracks are credited to "Kinney Music" and on Side 2 tracks 1 and 3 are credited to "Kinney Music Ltd." while tracks 2, 5 and 6 are credited to "Big Ben Music Ltd." and only track 4 remains credited to "B. Feldman". The track timings are included, showing track 5 on Side 2 as 4:35, although it's still listed as 2:06 on the rear sleeve. The songs all have a copyright date of "è 1966" below the catalogue number. The second orange/yellow labels and the red labels have an almost identical layout except that on the red labels there is CBS copyright information where "MADE IN ENGLAND" used to be at bottom centre on the first orange/yellow labels.

 CBS 460907 1 (UK) - front scan by Hans Seegers (1988 release) |
The album was re-released in 1988, again with red CBS labels and a new
catalogue number - "460907 1" (the first six digits are the same as the
catalogue number used today for the UK remastered CD release). There are now
no "STEREO" indications on the front or rear sleeves and no
printer name. On the Side 1 record label all tracks are credited to "Warner Bros. Music Ltd." and on Side 2 all tracks except track 4 are credited to "Warner Bros. Music Ltd.", while track 4 is still credited to "B. Feldman & Co. Ltd./EMI". There are no copyright dates and the track timings are included, showing track 5 on Side 2 as 4:35 (the track time on the rear sleeve is still 2:06!). |

"Greatest Hits" - stereo vinyl compilation LP, CBS S 62847 (Italy), 1967:
 CBS S 62847 (Italy) - front scan by Hans Seegers (both releases) |
|
This album was released twice, first in Mar 1967, and then
in mid 1967, with the same sleeve but with different record labels. The
sleeve was printed in Italy and has two folded-over flaps. The album is
described as "STEREO MONO" on the sleeve. The record has orange CBS labels.
The first release has "STEREO MONO" and "33" as the playing speed, the
second release has "STEREO" plus the arrows logo and "331/3"
as the playing speed. Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, track 5 on Side 2, is listed
as 2:06 on the sleeve as the UK albums, but the track is listed on the
record label as the album version at 4:35, so R-0656 (see above) is not
present. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. |

 CBS S 62847 (Israel) - front scan by Nol Grint |
This LP is again a version of the UK release. The rear sleeve
this time has only two album
pictures. Bob Johnston's name is misspelled "Johnson". The record has orange CBS labels with "MADE IN ISRAEL" in English and Hebrew. Bob Johnston's name is again misspelled "Johnson" on Side 2. Thanks to Nol Grint for information and scans. |

"Greatest Hits" - stereo vinyl compilation LP, CBS SBPG 62847 (Kenya), 1968:
|
CBS SBPG 62847 (Kenya) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
This incredibly rare album from the former British colony
which became independent in 1963 uses the first version of the UK front
sleeve and the fourth version of the UK rear sleeve (see above). The record
was made in Kenya with orange CBS labels of the third UK label design with
"STEREO" and the arrows logo to the left of the centre hole, and songs
credited to "Blossom Music" and "B. Feldman". The playing speed is shown as
"33⅓" and publishing dates are shown as
"(P) 1966" for all songs. There are two mistakes on the labels - on Side 1 track 3 is called "The Time They Are A-Changin'" and on Side 2 Bob Johnston's name is misspelled as "Johnson". Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. |

"Greatest Hits" - stereo vinyl compilation LP, CBS S 62847 (NL), 1969:
 CBS S 62847 (NL) - front scan by Hans Seegers (all 1969 releases) |
This version of the album with the UK Greatest Hits
tracklist was made in Holland. The rear sleeve is different from the UK
releases and shows 12 Dylan albums, including the three Holland-only
Greatest Hits albums and ending with Nashville Skyline. There were three releases of the album in 1969,
the first has nothing to the left of the CBS logo at top right of the rear
sleeve, the second has a "B" in a circle, and the third has a "U" in a
circle. All the record labels were the same. The oddity is that Rainy Day
Women #12 & 35, track 5 on Side 2, is listed as 2:06 as the UK albums, but
the track is the album version at 4:29, so R-0656 (see above) is not
present! Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. |

"Greatest Hits" - stereo vinyl compilation LP, CBS 62847 (NL), 1976, re-released 1985:
 CBS 62847 (NL) - front scan by Hans Seegers (both releases) |
These releases have the same front sleeve as the 1969
release, the only difference being that the catalogue number is now just
"62847" omitting the "S". The rear sleeve has the same design, but the 12
album sleeves shown are different, ending with 1976's Desire. The big
change from the 1969 release is that the album now includes the 2:06 edit of
Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 (Hans Seegers says it actually plays at 1:55 with
the first two verses only)! The sleeve was printed in Holland by Shorewood
Packaging. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. |

 CBS 463088 1 (NL) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
I've included this album here for completion only because, although it
uses the UK front sleeve (without the track listing), it has the US
Greatest Hits tracklist! The rear sleeve is the same design as the
previous Dutch releases but omits the 12 album sleeves. This was the last
vinyl release with this sleeve in Holland. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. |

"Greatest Hits" - stereo vinyl compilation LP, CBS S 62847 (Spain), 1970, re-released 1975, 1978 and 1981:
 CBS S 62847 (Spain) - front scan by Hans Seegers (1970 & 1975 releases) |
This Spanish stereo LP is a
release of the album with the 1967 UK Greatest Hits tracklist. Both
the sleeves and records were made in Spain. The song titles are translated
into Spanish on the front and back of the sleeve and on the labels. The 1970
rear sleeve shows ten albums by contemporary CBS artists. The record has
orange CBS labels and was made for CBS by Fonogram S.A. of Madrid. The album
title is translated on the labels as "GRANDES EXITOS". This release is
extremely rare as very few were manufactured. The 1975 rear sleeve shows
eight albums by contemporary CBS artists. The record now has orange/yellow
CBS labels and was made by Discos CBS S.A. Madrid. The album title is
missing. The 1978 release has a fully laminated sleeve. The 1978 rear sleeve this time shows eight albums by Spanish artist Roberto Carlos. The 1978 record again has orange/yellow CBS labels with a different label design and stamped matrix numbers: Side 1- 62847 A+, Side 2 - 62847 B0. The album title is still missing. The 1981 sleeve is the same apart from the date printed at bottom right. The 1981 record again has orange/yellow CBS labels, this time with a design similar to the 1975 design. The album title is still missing. |

Phil Beale has a UK cassette copy of this album, CBS 40-62847, which has the same track listing as above, although She Belongs To Me on Side 1 and Just Like A Woman on Side 2 are reversed. The surprise is that Like A Rolling Stone on Side 2 is the live version from the 1969 Isle of Wight Festival from Self Portrait, not the expected studio version from Highway 61 Revisited. There's no indication on the cassette insert. Hans Seegers informs me that this variant, obviously a CBS mistake, is known to collectors.
These cassettes have three rarities including a unique edit of Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 (2:06). Full details are therefore in 1967 with the other rarity entries for this album.
Thanks to Nol Grint and Phil Beale for information and scans.

 CBS S 62847 (NL for France) - front with sticker, photo by Don DiMuccio |
This version of the 1967 UK Greatest Hits
album was made in Holland for the French market (see the 1975 Dutch release
above). The copy shown has a French
sticker with text "1877-1977 Centenaire du Disque". There is a unique rear
sleeve (only partly shown) with "Y" on a foil sticker next to the CBS logo.
The record has orange/yellow 1970s-style CBS labels with a different text
layout than the usual style for this release where the song titles are
centred. Thanks to Don DiMuccio and Hans Seegers for information and pictures. |

These Greek LPs have the 1967 UK cover and the UK 12-song
tracklist. Like the UK release, it contains a unique edit of Rainy Day Women #12 & 35
(R-0656, see above). This album was re-released in 1988 as CBS 4630881.

CBS 62847 (Greece) - detail of rear, scan by
Hans Seegers (1975 release)
Hans Seegers reports the front cover is "a bad copy of the 'Leonardo Da Vinci' cover"! Roland Born's copy has the 1978 sleeve but still has the 1975 labels.
The rear cover shows two contemporary Dylan albums - The Basement Tapes and Desire. This was the same on the 1988 release - the cover was not changed. One of the producer credits on cover and Side 2 label is incorrectly shown as "Bob Johnson" instead of Bob Johnston.
The 1975 record has orange/yellow CBS labels with matrix numbers: Side 1- 62.847-A (written), Side 2 - 01-62847-1B-1 HP-GRIEKENLAND (stamped). "Griekenland" is Dutch for Greece, and shows the album was sourced from Holland. Hans Seegers has a second copy with identical labels and sleeve but without the "Griekenland" in the matrix numbers which was made in Greece. The 1978 record also has orange/yellow labels, this time with a new text layout.

The
1988 record has a new catalogue number, CBS 4630881, red labels with a white CBS
logo, the same text layout as the 1978 labels, and the same matrix numbers: Side 1 - 62.847-A (written), Side
2 - 01-62847-1B-1 HP-GRIEKENLAND (stamped). The "Bob Johnson" error is repeated
on the new Side 2 label. To confuse matters, this album was released as Columbia 463088 1 in the 1990s with the US tracklist (see International Albums (Regular). The song titles are now missing from the front sleeve! Thanks to Ronald Born, Hans Seegers and Arie de Reus for information and scans. |

 Columbia 460907 9 (UK) - CD with original CBS LP label-style design |
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. It still contains One Of Us Must Know (Sooner Or Later) - R-0537, the unfaded stereo version (thanks to Roger Ford for confirming that this CD is the only place this specific version can be found today). The front insert restores the tracklist.
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.
This album was also released with the same catalogue number in a Best Of The Best Gold edition in 1998, see below.
Thanks to Hans Seegers and Bill Hester for information and to Keith Schweiger for further information and scans.
