This page lists mono releases of this regular Bob Dylan album. These LPs are eligible for inclusion on this site because the mono versions of Dylan songs are now unavailable on CD. 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!

"Bringing It All Back Home" - mono vinyl LP, Columbia CL 2328 (USA/Canada), 22
Mar 1965:
The famous front photograph was taken by Daniel Kramer. The woman in red is
Sally Grossman, wife of Bob's then manager Albert. The rumour at the time was that
it was
Bob in drag!
 Columbia CL 2328 (USA) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
The promo white label LP has a Radio Station Service timing strip sticker, and also a sticker with "Featuring SUBTERRANEAN HOMESICK BLUES" (already released as a mono single, see Mono Singles 1965). Gerd Rundel's copy has white labels with stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-79421-1D, Side 2 - XLP-79422-1B. The US mono album was released three times, although the same sleeve was used for all releases. The "GUARANTEED HIGH FIDELITY" label was discontinued by Columbia before Highway 61 Revisited was released in Aug 1965, so no later albums have it. The second release has "MONO" and the "360° Sound" plus arrows logo in white, the third release dating from late 1967 onwards has just "MONO" in white. |

Gerd Rundel's copy of the earliest commercial mono release has the "GUARANTEED HIGH FIDELITY" record labels and stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-79421-1A, Side 2 - XLP-79422-1A (see the photos above). Gerd also has a copy of Columbia CL 2328 with two different label designs - Side 1 has the second release label with white "STEREO" text while Side 2 has the first release label with "GUARANTEED HIGH FIDELITY". The sleeve is the same as Hans Seegers'. The record has matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-79421-1C (handwritten), Side 2 - XLP-79422-1C (stamped).
Henry V. Bell has a Canadian copy with the "GUARANTEED HIGH FIDELITY" labels with matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-79421-1E, Side 2 - XLP-79422-1D. It has "LITHO IN CAN." at the bottom right of the rear sleeve, and "PRINTED IN CAN." on the record labels.
Thanks to Hans Seegers, Henry V. Bell, Kevin Doyle and Gerd Rundel for information and scans.
"Bringing It All Back Home" - mono vinyl LP, CBS BPG 62515/CL 2328 (UK), May 1965:
"Subterranean Homesick Blues" - mono vinyl LP, CBS
62515 (NL), 1965:
This album was released in Holland under the alternative title of what must have
been considered at the time to be its most marketable track. For stereo versions
(CBS S 62515, not released until 1967 onwards), see
International Album
Releases (Regular). It retained this title even for early CD releases.
"Bringing It All Back Home" - mono vinyl LP, CBS 62515 (France), 1965:
 CBS 62515 (France) - front scan by Gerd Rundel |
This album has a gatefold sleeve with the lyrics in English
and French liner notes on the inside. The outside of the gatefold sleeve is
laminated but the inside is not. The record has orange CBS labels and
stamped matrix numbers:
Side 1 - XPARTX 56489 2I, Side 2 -XPARTX 56490 2I. (the last character of
each matrix number could also be a "1"). 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. Thanks to Renaud Depierreux for information and to Gerd Rundel for further information and scans. |

"Bringing It All Back Home" - mono vinyl LP, CBS BP 233213 (Australia), May 1965:

 CBS BP 233213 (Australia) - Side 2 scan by Stuart Moore (corrected album title) |
The first release of this album had a spelling mistake in the title on the labels - "BRING IT ALL BACK HOME". This was later corrected. Both releases had orange CBS labels with the Allan's logo (the then distributor of CBS records in Australia). The colour difference is probably just because the first record's labels have been photographed while the second's have been scanned. Scans required of the mono New Zealand release!
Thanks to David Jetson and Stuart Moore for information and scans.
"Bringing It All Back Home" - mono vinyl LP, CBS ALD 6801 (South Africa/Southern Rhodesia), 1965:
 CBS ALD 6801 (South Africa) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
This very rare album was sold in South Africa and Southern
Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) during the Apartheid area. The sleeves were printed
in South Africa, and the records were made in both countries. There was a
CBS pressing plant in Southern Rhodesia at that time. The Southern Rhodesia
album has a sticker on the sleeve "RECORD MADE IN SOUTHERN RHODESIA". Note
that on the South African rear sleeve the lowest line of text is obscured by
the bottom flap - this does not happen on the Southern Rhodesian sleeve. The records have orange CBS labels with no country of origin. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. |
