Note the white sticker with violet text on the US front cover advertising Like A Rolling Stone - the single came out and had made the charts before the album was released.

The original American liner notes on the rear sleeve are the ones printed in "Lyrics 1962-65". 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.

Note 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.

Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans and to Ulf Gyllenspetz for photos of the promo album.

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.

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.

Mick Robinson and Hanns Peter Bushoff have four different copies of this release between them!

1. Track timings on rear sleeve unboxed as per Hans Seegers' scan, Side 1 label - 62572A, Side 2 label - 62572B, matrix numbers: Side 1 - 62572-1A-1, Side 2 - 62572 1B-1
2. Track timings on rear sleeve unboxed, Side 1 label - 62575A (incorrect), Side 2 label - 62572B, matrix numbers: Side 1 - BPG 62572 A//1 1:4, Side 2 - BPG 62572 B//2 1:1
3. Track timings on rear sleeve boxed as shown below, Side 1 label - 62575A (incorrect), Side 2 label - 62575B (incorrect), matrix numbers: Side 1 - BPG 62572 A//1 1:7, Side 2 - BPG 62572 B//2 1:4
4. Track timings on rear sleeve boxed as shown below, Side 1 label - 62575A (incorrect), Side 2 label - 62575B (incorrect), matrix numbers: Side 1 - Side 1 - BPG 62572 A//2 1:6, Side 2 - BPG 62572 B//2 1:4

The "62575A/B" on the record labels above (P)1965 as opposed to "62572A/B" must be a typesetting error.

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.
