This new page lists mono Bob Dylan compilation LPs that do not contain rare tracks. 1970 is the latest date for an entry on this page so far. These albums do not contain rarities or obscurities and are not eligible for the Searching For A Gem list. Nevertheless, the interest value or scarcity of these items means they're worth listing here - as far as I know some are not included on any other Internet site. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans of many of these elusive albums. Mono singles up to 1976 have their own pages, see the links above.
This page is still incomplete - more information on Dylan mono compilation LPs is required!
These pages are 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!

Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits (non-US tracklists)
 CBS 62624 (NL) - scan by Wim van der Mark |
This album had a different front cover picture (by Jerry Schatzberg) and tracklist from the US
and UK versions
released in 1967 (see here and below).
Side 1: Blowin' In The Wind; Don't Think Twice It's Alright; Queen Jane Approximately; Maggie's Farm; Mr. Tambourine Man; Bob Dylan's Blues Side 2: The Times They Are A-Changin'; It Ain't Me, Babe; Subterranean Homesick Blues; It's All Over Now, Baby Blue; Like A Rolling Stone; Highway 61 Revisited Some reports give the release date as 1967, but there are no tracks from Blonde On Blonde included, so I think the 1966 dating is more likely. See the 1967 Dutch Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. 2 below. |
"Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits" - mono vinyl LP, CBS BPG 62847 (UK), Mar 1967; CBS BP-473391 (New
Zealand), 1967:
This album is included here for completeness, but full details are on the 1967
page because it contains rarities! There were two UK releases with different
rear sleeves and labels.
 CBS BPG 62847 (UK) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
This album had a different front cover (not a live photo this time, but one from the Blonde On Blonde photo shoot by Jerry Schatzberg - see The Blonde On Blonde Missing Pictures). The rear sleeve depicts only six of Bob's previous albums, omitting Another Side, and there's no Dylan picture. The album also had a different tracklist from the US version - Positively 4th Street is missing, but is replaced by three tracks: She Belongs To Me; It's All Over Now, Baby Blue and One Of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later). Roger Ford informs me that this album is not in true mono, but a mono reduction of the stereo album. For the stereo version of the album, see International Albums (Other Dylan-only Compilations). |

Other Mono Dylan-only Compilations
"Songs By Bob Dylan" - unreleased mono vinyl LP, Columbia (no catalogue number) (USA), 1963:
 Suze Rotolo's personal copy, picture from Christie's New York web-site found by Jean-Pol Hiernaux |
The album was made by Sound Makers Inc. of New York and is housed in a
buff paper sleeve with a sticker giving Albert Grossman's then postal
address in New York. It has generic labels with typed title and tracklists.
As it contains rarities, full details are in 1963. Thanks to Arie de Reus and Jean-Pol Hiernaux for information and scans. |

"Bob Dylan In Concert" - Columbia acetates 77110 (mono), LP: Columbia CL-2302 (USA - mono), 1964:
 Columbia CS-9102 (USA) - stereo front cover (no mono front cover has yet surfaced), picture from Jeff Gold, recordmecca.com |
Detailed information about this cancelled album and its two proposed tracklists is now here. |
"Nine Songs Publisher’s Sampler" 12"
single-sided mono vinyl LP, Warner Bros./7 Arts Music Inc. XTV 221567 (USA), 1967:
These are all Witmark & Sons demos recorded in the Witmark offices,
New York, in 1962-63 except I'll Keep It With Mine, which is an alternate Columbia studio take
from 1964 used as a demo. The record is single-sided so there is no label on Side 2.
Thanks to John R. Overall for information that this is really badly pressed and
appears not to have been equalised for LP.

Tracklist: Long Ago, Far Away; Long Time Gone; Ain't Gonna Grieve; John Brown; I Shall Be Free; Only A Hobo; The Death Of Emmett Till; (I'd Hate To Be You On That) Dreadful Day; I'll Keep It With Mine. Because these are all rarities, full details are in 1967. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scan. |
"El Trovador De Nuestro Tiempo - Bob Dylan - Poeta O Profeta? [The
Troubadour Of Our Time - Bob Dylan - Poet Or Prophet?]" - vinyl LP, CBS 8.703
(Argentina/Uruguay), 1967:
This album has the Bringing It All Back Home front cover picture, and
a unique caricature on the back cover.
 CBS 8.703 (Argentina) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
All tracks are the mono album versions:
Sergio Magnacca and Ulf Gyllenspetz have copies of this album where the back cover drawing
is entirely in black and white without the red lips. Hans Seegers also has a copy of this album from Uruguay, again CBS 8.703, but
with a different back cover with the track listing in Spanish and English, and
advertising twelve non-Dylan LPs. The record itself has orange CBS labels, with
stamped
matrix numbers: ALM 46347/8. |

Of interest are the differing Spanish translations of the song titles from the Mexican releases (see Mono 7" Singles & EPs 1965): for example, Like A Rolling Stone is translated as "Como Una Piedra Que Rueda" (Mexico) and "Como Un Vagabundo" (Argentina). (In Spain it was translated as "Como Una Piedra Rodante"!) Subterranean Homesick Blues is "El Blues Del Subterráneo Melancólico" (Mexico) and "Tristezas De Ausencia" (Argentina).
Bob Dylan and The Band - "Basement Tapes" acetates, Sunset Sound Recorders (USA); Feldmans/Dwarf Music (UK), 1968:
 US acetate side 1, scan by Arie de Reus |
Because these acetates contain rarities, full details are in
1968. Thanks to Arie de Reus and Andrew Codd for information and scans. |

0434 (Czechoslovakia), 1968/"Bob Dylan" - mono compilation LP (regular
release), Supraphon SUA 15994 (Czechoslovakia), 1968:
The stereo versions Supraphon 1 13 0434 and Supraphon SUA ST 55994 are also of
great interest to collectors, but
all the tracks are regular album versions, see
International
