This album is a Limited Edition released by Columbia Special Products. Bob's contributions were All I Really Want To Do on Side 1 and On The Road Again on Side 2.  Both are the standard stereo album versions. Other artists included on this compilation are Bobby Vinton, Chad and Jeremy, The Yardbirds and The Dave Clark Five.

The liner notes say: "The SOUNDS OF MOD are the wild and wonderful sounds that you moderns - from London to Los Angeles - dig the most... You'll hear Bob Dylan, the young man who is already a legend, in two of his own distinctive songs - All I Really Want to Do and On the Road Again. It's easy to see why this Minnesotan is the most creative and influential force in music today."

Bob's contribution is Blowin' In The Wind on Side 1 and Don't Think Twice, It's All Right on Side 2, both from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. The Brothers Four perform House Of The Rising Sun on Side 1, and a cover of Mr. Tambourine Man on Side 2.

The promo release has white labels with a stamped date "40 12". This means Dec 1965, as Wil Gielen explains:

The white labels have a very small date (40 - 12) hand-stamped on each side - the “40” is the Japanese year "Showa 40" (40th year of the reign of the Emperor Showa) which corresponds to 1965 in the 'western' calendar.  The "12" on the label is for December.  It's interesting that even now Japan uses its own system for calendar years, and each ends when the Emperor dies, and starts again when the new Emperor is announced. The current Emperor was crowned in 1988 and so that was "year zero" for his era (the Heisei era), and now we are in year "Heisei 20".   This is used on newspapers, official documents, application forms, birthdays etc (but not on CD release dates) more often than our "Western" 2008 year. It's very confusing for non-Japanese, because you need also to know the era and the year to identify the correct year.

The commercial record has orange CBS labels.

CBS S 62 943 (West Germany) - Side 1 scan by Hanns Peter Bushoff

This was the first "sampler" album to be produced by CBS that was sold commercially in the UK as a general release (previous releases like the ones above had been limited editions). It was extremely successful, both in its own right and in terms of generating sales for the featured albums, all of which were newly released at the time. The front has a fabulous Victorian-style illustration of a "rock machine" by Milton Glaser! (For Milton Glaser's famous 1967 Dylan poster see Part 1).

Bob's contribution is I'll Be Your Baby Tonight from John Wesley Harding. Other artists included are Leonard Cohen, Simon & Garfunkel, The Byrds, Blood, Sweat and Tears featuring Al Kooper, and The Electric Flag featuring Mike Bloomfield.

This stereo release is housed in the mono PR 22 sleeve with a white Stereo/arrows logo sticker. The generic CBS UK paper inner sleeve has a cut-out for the record label and has the theme "The Sound Of Entertainment". Current CBS albums are illustrated on the front, including the 1967 UK version of Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, and all Bob's UK albums are listed on the back amongst albums from others. The record has orange CBS labels with the "STEREO" logo to the left of the centre CBS logo.

For the mono release of this album, CBS PR 22, see Mono LPs - Various Artists Compilations. The mono release has a slightly different inner sleeve and labels without the "STEREO" logo.

Columbia/Rewind 484439 2 (UK) - front insert scan by Hans Seegers

Bob's contribution to these three incarnations of the same LP with different titles is Highway 61 Revisited on Side 2.

The West German and Israeli albums have the same catalogue number and on the rear sleeve the familiar words "The Rock Machine Turns You On". The Israeli album has the additional text "From The Underground" on the front sleeve. The West German and South African records are on distinctive "psychedelic" multicoloured vinyl, but all three records have orange CBS labels. The South African release uses a variant of the UK Rock Machine sleeve with the Milton Glaser picture, and has three squares cut out to show the coloured vinyl. All three rear sleeves show pictures of other contemporary CBS releases.

Thanks to Hans Seegers and Patrick Helfrich for information and scans.
