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. This page is still incomplete - more international mono releases of this album are required. 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).
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 mono LP of Highway 61 Revisited has significantly different mixes and the length of the tracks frequently differ from the current stereo CD and the now deleted gold CD (information from Les Kokay and Roger Ford).
Note the white sticker with violet text on the US front cover advertising Like A Rolling Stone - the single produced by Tom Wilson came out and had made the charts before the album was released (the rest of the album was produced by Bob Johnston).
The original American liner notes on the rear sleeve are the ones printed in "Writings and Drawings" (1974) and "Lyrics 1962-85" (1987). On Hans Seegers' copy "meaningful" at the end of the next-to-last paragraph has been replaced by "meaningless" . Chris Hood has a copy of the first pressing of the US mono sleeve with "meaningful"! There is No Eye, the title of the book of photographs by John Cohen and an associated CD, comes from the last paragraph of these liner notes, see 2001.
This mono album was only released in the USA with the "360º SOUND" label - the "Guaranteed High Fidelity" labels had been discontinued before its release. The Canadian album still has the "Guaranteed High Fidelity" labels. It has the same sleeve as the US release except for the words "LITHO IN CANADA" on the front cover at bottom right.
The record of Gerd Rundel's commercial copy has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP 110638-1A, Side 2 - XLP 110639-1A. It comes in the sleeve shown with the "LIKE A ROLLING STONE" sticker. Jon McAuliffe has a sealed copy of the US album with the violet sticker. It also has a red sticker just like first releases of the stereo album (see International Album Releases (Regular) and 1965) with white text advertising that the package contains a free "striking portrait" suitable for framing. The picture by "Lambert" is still in the shrink-wrap on the back of the album, covering most of the rear of the album sleeve. Thanks to Robert Kornovich for information from a book called "The Label: The Story of Columbia Records" by Gary Marmorstein which says the picture was included by Columbia with the earliest copies of the album in one US region only. Edward Grazna has a demonstration copy with a white sticker on Side 2. It has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP 110638-1D, Side 2 - XLP 110639-1A. Lee Kaufman has a copy of the commercial release where the labels are missing the "360º SOUND"/arrows logo on either side of "MONO". It has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP 110638-1D, Side 2 - XLP 110639-1E. Iy has the sleeve variation with "meaningful".
Thanks to Hans Seegers, Chris Hood, Edward Grazna, Lee Kaufman and Dr. Hanns Peter Bushoff for information and scans and to Ulf Gyllenspetz for photos of the promo album.
"Highway 61 Revisited" - mono vinyl LP, CBS BPG 62572/CL 2389 (UK), Sep 1965:
 CBS BPG 62572 (UK) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
 CBS BPG 62572 (UK) - rear scan by Hans Seegers (first release) |
The UK mono LP cover had three folded flaps at the back. Note the completely different rear sleeve! The British liner notes had been completely reset, and contained many minor differences from the American notes. For example, the characters "Savage Rose & Fixable" were renamed "Savage Rose & Openly". For a complete list of these differences, see Rod MacBeath's article "Looking Up Dylan's Sleeves Part One" in "The Telegraph" issue 50, Summer 1994. |

 CBS BPG 62572 (UK) - detail of Side 2, scan by Gerd Rundel (third variant, alternate copy, "62575 A" incorrect) |
Mick Robinson and Hanns Peter Bushoff have four different copies of this release between them!
The "62575A/B" on the record labels above "è1965" as opposed to "62572A/B" must be a typesetting error. Lee Lintott has a copy with the first version of the sleeve without the boxed track timings but the record has labels for variant 3 with the record side catalogue numbers shown wrongly as "62575" on both labels. Gerd Rundel's copy is similar to this but with slightly different labels, still with the "62575" error (compare the sizes of the recessed rings in the centre of the labels). Gerd's record has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - BPG62572 A//1 1 1 2, Side 2 - BPG62572 B//1 1 1 4.
There is also a later release, still with the three folded flaps, and with much more information on the rear sleeve - Like A Rolling Stone is shown as produced by Tom Wilson, with the rest by Bob Johnston, and the musicians are listed on the right below the CBS logo. Thanks to John Caruth for the photocopy.
