This page lists mono releases of this regular Bob Dylan album. These LPs were listed here because the mono versions of Dylan songs were unavailable on CD until the release of the first eight Dylan albums in mono as The Original Mono Recordings in 2010. Mono LPs with rare tracks (e.g. mono versions with significant differences from the album tracks, such as different mixes, edits or fades) are listed in the main chronological pages. Mono singles up to 1976 have their own pages, see the links above.

Thanks to David Burgess for the UK catalogue numbers - all my mono LPs were stolen when my Manchester flat was burgled in May 1968!

For stereo releases of this album, see International Album Releases (Regular).

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!

"The Times They Are A-Changin'" - promo mono vinyl LP, Columbia CL 2105 (USA), Dec 1963:
The front photograph was taken by Barry Feinstein, uncredited. It's a pastiche of a Woody Guthrie photo. Barry Feinstein sadly died on 20 Oct 2011, for more pictures of Bob by Barry, see . Most international releases had a higher crop of the photo with more of Bob's hair than the US release! For example, the UK album picture starts at the top of the picture with the CBS logo and ends just below the top visible unbuttoned button on Bob's shirt; the US album picture starts just above the text, cutting off more of the top of Bob's head and ends as shown showing the buttoned button.


Columbia CL 2105 (USA) - front with timing strip, scan by Gerd Rundel (first release - mono catalogue number at top left)

These promo copies have the first US mono sleeve (see below) with the mono catalogue number at front top left and just the mono catalogue number on the rear sleeve. There is a radio station timing strip on the front sleeve of Gerd Rundel's copy and a radio station play log on the rear sleeve. The first entry in the play log is for "12-22", presumably 22 Dec 1963. This would tend to support a commercial release date of 13 Jan 1964, see below. There is also a "3" on the rear sleeve at bottom right. The white label promo album shown has the words "RADIO STATION COPY - NOT FOR RESALE" on the labels below the title. The record has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-75526-1F, Side 2 - XLP-75527-1G. Manuel Garcia Jara has a commercial copy without the front timing strip and the rear play log on the sleeve, which also has a "3" on the rear in the same position. This record has commercial "Guaranteed High Fidelity" labels as below but with the same matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-75526-1F, Side 2 - XLP-75527-1G.

Thanks to Gerd Rundel and Manuel Garcia Jara for information and scans.

The US rear sleeve has track times and also poems by Bob, "11 Outlined Epitaphs", subsequently published in his "Writings And Drawings" book and "Lyrics 1962-1985". The rear sleeve showed the first two and a half poems, which were continued on an insert. The matrix number of the first mono pressings were XLP-75526/27-1A - subsequent pressings were 1B, 1C, etc. Manuel Garcia Jara has a copy of the first commercial release with a demonstration sticker on Side 2 that reads "FOR DEMONSTRATION USE ONLY FOR SALE". "NOT FOR SALE" would be expected, and the text is aligned as if the word "NOT" should be present. This copy has "1B" matrix numbers.

The mono and stereo rear sleeves were different on the initial release, but subsequent US album releases from 1965 onwards used the same sleeve for both mono and stereo versions as long as mono continued. The copy shown of the 1964 rear sleeve also has a "1" in the bottom right hand corner. Anders Ydremark has a copy of the second release in 1965 with a "6" in the bottom right hand corner. Ian Woodward has a friend who has a copy which has the first release record with "1A" matrix numbers but in the 1965 sleeve with a "1" in the bottom right hand corner of the sleeve as Renaud Depierreux's copy below. (These are probably just printer's run numbers.)

Sergio Magnacca from Argentina has a copy with the "Guaranteed High Fidelity" label in the second sleeve. and Roger Sarao has one with matrix numbers XLP-75526/27-1B. Renaud Depierreux has a copy with the rear sleeve with both mono and stereo catalogue numbers with matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-75526-1L, Side 2 - XLP-75527-1AC. There is a "1" in the bottom right hand corner of the sleeve. Stuart Leitch has a copy with the second release labels and the mono/stereo sleeve, again with a "1" in the bottom right hand corner of the sleeve. (This is probably just a printer's run number.)

Thanks to Ulf Gyllenspetz, Hans Seegers, Gerd Rundel, Stuart Leitch and Manuel Garcia Jara for information and scans.

CBS BPG 62251 (UK) - detail of rear, scan by Gerd Rundel (copy manufactured by Fontana/Philips)

The UK rear sleeve not only has no track times, but also short-changes the UK record-buying public by showing only "4 Outlined Epitaphs"! The rear sleeve showed poems 1, 2, 7 and 8, and there was no insert as with the US release. UK fans had to wait until the publication of the book "Writings And Drawings" in 1974 to get the full eleven.

Mick Robinson has a copy of this mono LP with orange CBS rough texture labels, with "33rpm" on both sides, and text "Recording First Published 1964". It has a laminated flipback sleeve which appears to have a paste over title sheet. Thanks to Arie de Reus for the information that these copies were manufactured for CBS by Fontana/Philips, and not only have no foldovers on the rear sleeve and a slightly different rear sleeve design, but the vinyl is heavier. Matrix numbers are: Side 1 - BPG 62251 L 1=420 1 1I 10, Side 2 - BPG 62251 2L 1 420 1 1 4.

Thanks to Hans Seegers, Arie de Reus and Gerd Rundel for scans - I actually bought this album three times, but the third copy was stolen in May 1968.

" "Mister" Bob Dylan" - mono vinyl LP, CBS 62 251 (France), 1965:
This is the French mono version of The Times They Are A-Changin', like Freewheelin' with a new title! Arie de Reus has a test pressing of this album on two discs with classical music on the reverse of each disc. This test pressing has blank labels, so a scan would be pointless.

Unlike in other countries, this release has a gatefold sleeve. The foldout centre has the lyrics of the songs in English, each with a French commentary. The "11 Outlined Epitaphs" are missing. Hans Seegers adds:
"This cover comes in two variations:
1) folded out card board sleeve with the LP entrance on the outside
2) folded out laminated paper sleeve on one side with the LP entrance on the inside. This is a second edition released in the same year."

The record has orange CBS labels and is titled The Times They Are A-Changin', not "Mister" Bob Dylan!

Thanks to Hans Seegers and Raoul Verolleman for information and scans.


"The Times They Are A-Changin'" - mono vinyl LP, CBS 62251 (Israel), 1965(?):


CBS 62251 (Israel) - front scan by Gerd Rundel
This release has a unique front sleeve with white borders top and bottom. This means part of the picture is cut off, so the photo of Bob has the same crop of Bob at the top as the US mono sleeve and the same crop at the bottom as the UK mono sleeve.

The record was made in Israel and has orange CBS labels. The copy shown has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-75526-1AB, Side 2 - XLP-75527-1AJ.

"The Times They Are A-Changin'" - mono vinyl LP, CBS ALD 6814 (South Africa), 1965(?):

TimesSAFront.jpg (32646 bytes)
CBS ALD 6814 (South Africa) - front scan by Hans Seegers
Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans of this rare South African version of The Times They Are A-Changin' which has a variant track list. Side 1 has six songs instead of five because With God On Our Side was banned in apartheid South Africa and removed from the LP (even though it is still listed on the front sleeve)! It was replaced by Motorpsycho Nitemare and It Ain't Me, Babe.

Thanks also to Alan Galley from New Zealand for drawing my attention to this album. The Times They Are A-Changin' was re-released in stereo in South Africa in 1981 with the original track list, see International Album Releases (Regular).

"The Times They Are A-Changin'" - mono vinyl LP, CBS BP-233107 (Australia), 1965:
The stereo version of this album was CBS SBP-233107.


CBS BP-233107 (Australia) - front scan by Hans Seegers

This was the first Bob Dylan release in Australia! The record has orange CBS labels with the "Allan's" logo - the then distributors in Australia. Stuart Moore's first copy has promo stamps on the rear sleeve and Side 1 label. Stuart Moore's second copy has the same front sleeve but a different rear sleeve with both mono and stereo catalogue numbers. The records have a slightly larger "Allan's" logo, "33⅓" in a different type face, and the text below the central CBS logo is printed higher.

All the record labels shown have round the circumference at the bottom the text "MADE IN AUSTRALIA BY A REGISTERED USER OF THE TRADE MARKS" without a CBS copyright. This is because up to 1977 all Australian records were manufactured by the Australian Record Company (Pty) Ltd. (A.R.C.) on behalf of CBS.

Thanks to Hans Seegers and Stuart Moore for information and scans.

"The Times They Are A-Changin'" - mono vinyl LP, CBS BP-473096 (New Zealand), 1965:
The stereo version of this album was CBS SBP-473096, released in 1967.


CBS BP-473096 (New Zealand) - front scan by Hans Seegers
Like other New Zealand Dylan album releases, the front sleeve has a white border. The sleeve was printed in New Zealand by Whitcomb and Tombs Limited. Thanks to Bill Hester for information that Begg's was a long-established chain of music stores in New Zealand - one store remains in Christchurch but it doesn't sell records or CDs these days. The record has orange CBS labels with the additional logo of Allan's, the then local distributor in Australia and New Zealand. There was an insert like the US release.

Thanks to Hans Seegers and Bill Hester for information and scans.

"The Times They Are A-Changin'" - mono vinyl LP, CBS 62251 (Italy), 1966, re-released 1970, 1975 and 1978:
This mono album was released in Italy four times between 1966 and 1978. The 1976 and 1978 Italian releases are very unusual in that they are mono albums with 1970s style orange/yellow record labels. For some reason there never was a stereo release on vinyl in Italy.


CBS 62251 (Italy) - front scan by Manuel Garcia Jara (1966 release - 1970 release is the same)

The 1966 sleeve is laminated on the front only and has two folded-over flaps. The line on the right of the rear sleeve is the end of the laminate, which wraps round from the front. The 1970 sleeve is identical. The sleeves were printed by Stampa Reparto Grafico C.G.D. The 1966 record shown was made in Italy and has orange CBS labels with matrix numbers: Side 1: 26/3/1966 CBS 62251 1L/2, Side 2: 26/3/1966 CBS 62251 2L/3 (presumably 26 Mar 1966 was the date the masters were made). Manual Garcia Jara's 1970 record (not shown) also has orange CBS labels and matrix numbers: Side 1: 26/3/1966 CBS 62251 1L/2, Side 2: 6/11/1970 CI 62251 2L/3 (presumably 26 Mar 1966 and 6 Nov 1970 were the dates the masters were made). The 1970 record had the generic CBS Italy inner sleeve shown, but the 1966 record had no inner sleeve.

The 1975 and 1978 front sleeves have a white border of approximately ¼". Neither sleeve was laminated on the front or rear. The 1975 sleeve has two folded over flaps and still shows the printer's name as Stampa Reparto Grafico C.G.D. The 1975 record shown was made by CBS Sugar and has orange/yellow CBS labels and stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - 23/7/71 CI 62251 1L, Side 2 - 6/11/70 CI 62251 2L/3 (presumably 23 Jul 1971 and 6 Nov 1970 are the dates the masters were made). There was no inner sleeve.

The sleeve of the 1978 release had the same white border and was again not laminated. It had no folded over flaps and there is no printer's name on the rear. Marco's 1978 record shown was made by CBS and has orange/yellow CBS labels and stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - 23/7/71 CI 62251 1L, Side 2 - 6/11/70 CI 62251 1L/3 (again presumably 23 Jul 1971 and 6 Nov 1970 are the dates the masters were made). Manuel Garcia Jara's 1978 record has the same labels and stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - 26/3/1966 CI 62251 1L, Side 2 - 6/11/1970 CI 62251 2L/3. There was no inner sleeve.

Columbia/Legacy/Sony Music 88697761042 (Europe) - front of outer box with sticker (my copy)
This set of Bob's first eight albums in the original mono mixes comes in a cutaway card box inside an outer box. The CD albums are in thick card sleeves reproducing the original mono album artwork, in this case Columbia CL 2105. The CD comes in a plain inner sleeve and its design is based on the original Columbia design (see above). There is a double-sided insert with the remaining poems making up the "11 Outlined Epitaphs". Thanks to Éamonn Ó Catháin for information that this album can be downloaded in MP3 format from Play.com in the UK for £6.99 or £0.89 per track. For full details of the set, see here.

Thanks to Sonny Boy McFitzson for information about the Japanese release, Sony Music SICP 2151-59. It has a wrap-around obi with price ¥18,900 (¥18,000 plus sales tax). This has been reduced from the originally announced price of ¥25,000! As the original mono albums were never released in Japan, each has a light blue top obi based on those of the original stereo releases. The Japanese CD also comes in a contemporary inner sleeve with a Japanese language booklet and an insert reproducing the original 1964 US LP insert with the remaining poems from "11 Outlined Epitaphs".

The 12" mono LP is available separately from the vinyl boxed set as a Dutch release, Music On Vinyl MOVLP 241 (NL) - scans required.

Thanks to Anthony Perry for information and scans.
