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)

For a 1970 mono Bob Dylan Greatest Hits album from Brazil with a different tracklist, see here and 1970.


"Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits" - mono vinyl LP, CBS BPG 62847 (UK), Dec 1966/Jan 1967, re-released up to 1969:
The release date of this album is usually given as 1967 because it entered the UK album charts on 14 Jan 1967. However, Brian Grist thinks he first saw the album on sale between 26 and 31 Dec 1966.

CBS BPG 62847 (UK), Dec 1966/Jan 1967, 1968 (first and second releases):


CBS BPG 62847 (UK) - front scan by Gerd Rundel (first release)
This album has a different sleeve and tracklist from the US release of Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits with twelve tracks instead of ten. The front photo is by Jerry Schatzberg from the Blonde On Blonde photo shoot and the rear sleeve shows six Dylan albums omitting Another Side Of Bob Dylan. Bob Johnston's name is misspelled "Bob Johnson". This album is also included on the 1967 page because it contains three rarities! There were four UK mono releases with different rear sleeves and labels. The catalogue number is "bpg 62847" on the record labels of all releases.

CBS bpg 62847 (UK) - Side 2 scan by Gerd Rundel (second release)


CBS BPG 62847 (UK) - detail of rear, scan by Gerd Rundel (first and second releases - "Garrod & Lofthouse")

The first and second releases sleeve has a laminated front, a matt rear and three folded-over flaps. Thanks to Gerd Rundel for pointing out that the first release front sleeve has the album title in green, while the second release sleeve has the album title in yellow. The rear sleeve of both releases has "MONO" below the CBS logo at top right, the printer name (Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd.) at bottom left, and the CBS copyright information on two lines at bottom right. "GB" is printed vertically on the bottom rear flap. Gerd Rundel's first release copy has the same printed inner sleeve as shown on this site for the second UK mono release of Blonde On Blonde in 1967, but this time with cut-off corners. On the Side 2 label, producer Bob Johnston's name is misspelled as "Bob Johnson". This mistake was repeated on the labels of all four releases.

The first release labels have "33" as the playing speed, the second release labels have "33⅓". Also, on the first release label, the Blossom Music publishing dates are shown individually to the right of the centre hole, while on the second to fourth release labels they are all shown as "(P) 1966". The records of both Gerd Rundel's first release copy and his second release copy have stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - 62847 A1, Side 2 - 62847 B1.

Sergio Mariano Romay has found a first release copy online with "Tessa's Dream" printed on Side 1 under the CBS logo and "Dave's Lament" printed in the same position on Side 2. These additions are completely unofficial.

CBS BPG 62847 (UK), 1968-69 (third release):


CBS bpg 62847 (UK) - rear scan by Gerd Rundel (third release)
The third release has a similar front sleeve as before, but the rear sleeve no longer has folded-over flaps. The rear sleeve has just "62847" below the CBS logo, without the mono catalogue number, and has a new printer name of Ernest J. Day & Co. Ltd. at bottom left. CBS copyright information is again on two lines at bottom right but "GB" is printed vertically higher up.  The record labels are essentially the same as those of what is now the fourth release, with the small "33⅓", but without the "MONO"/arrows logo, so could date from earlier in 1969. On this copy Rainy Day Women #12 and 35 on Side 2 definitely plays at 4:35. (Éamonn Ó Catháin has a copy of this release which he dates as 1968-69 and confirms the length as 4:35.) Éamonn also says that One Of Us Must Know (Sooner Or Later) is slightly faded, although you can still just hear the final chords.

Paul Shenton has a very strange third release copy. It comes in the 1969 stereo Dutch second stereo release sleeve with a "B" in a circle next to the CBS logo at rear top right (see here). The labels are the same as those of Lars M. Banke's copy, which comes in the Ernest J. Day sleeve. It's possible that the sleeve and record have been mismatched by a dealer or previous owner.

CBS BPG 62847 (UK), 1969 (fourth release):

GH1UKMonoFront.jpg (22529 bytes)
CBS BPG 62847 (UK) - front scan by Hans Seegers (fourth release)
The fourth release front sleeve has an album title with a light green tinge. The rear sleeve is now combined mono/stereo. It again has just "62847" below the CBS logo, and now has a CBS stereo information text box across the bottom and the CBS copyright information at bottom left.

The printer's name is no longer shown. The fourth release labels have a "MONO"/arrows logo to the left of the centre hole and "33⅓" in the smaller type face as for the third release. This type of label was used for the first time for the UK Nashville Skyline mono release, so dates from 1969.

"Greatest Hits" - mono vinyl LP, CBS BP-473391 (New Zealand), 1967:


CBS BP-473391 (New Zealand) - front scan by Stuart Moore
This album is almost identical to the UK release. The record has orange CBS labels with the Allan's logo (Allan's were music publishers in Australia and New Zealand for Bob Dylan records between 1965 and 1969). There are no track timings, but Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 is the album length, not the 2:06 edit found on the stereo release. For some reason, Australia had mono and stereo releases of the 10-track US compilation, not the UK version, see Mono Album Releases and International Album Releases (Regular).

Thanks to Stuart Moore and Bill Hester for information and scans.

Other Mono Dylan-only Compilations


"Songs By Bob Dylan" - unreleased 12" mono vinyl LP, Sound Makers Inc. (no catalogue number) (USA), 1963:


Suze Rotolo's personal copy, picture from Christie's New York web-site found by Jean-Pol Hiernaux

A copy of this pre-Freewheelin' album of Witmark demos came up for auction in Dec 1992, when it fetched $1,000. Thanks for Gerd Rundel for finding a copy for sale on eBay in Oct 2016 for $200,000! These discs were created by Sound Makers Inc., 6 West 57th Street, New York, on behalf of Columbia Records for distribution to other artists who might record Dylan songs.

Thanks to Jean-Pol Hiernaux for finding the copy from Suze Rotolo's personal collection for auction at Christie's, New York, in Nov 2006. The album 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. Thanks to Arie de Reus for further information, especially that it is a mono vinyl LP, not an acetate as previously reported, and for the label scans. The Oct 2016 eBay copy has slightly different typed labels, without track numbers, but with the addition of "Side A" and "Side B" to the right of the centre hole.

Full details are in 1963, but as all these tracks were officially released in mono in Oct 2010 on The Bootleg Series Vol. 9 - The Witmark Demos 1962-1964, they have ceased to be rarities.

Thanks to Arie de Reus, Jean-Pol Hiernaux and Gerd Rundel for information and scans.

"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.

Warner Bros. XTV 221567 (USA) - label scan by Hans Seegers

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 used to be all rarities, full details are in 1967. They have now been released on The Bootleg Series Vol. 9 - The Witmark Demos 1962-1964, 2010

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?]" - promo and commercial mono vinyl LP releases, CBS 8.703 (Argentina/Uruguay), 1967:

CBS 8.703 (Argentina), 1967:

TrovadorFront.jpg (29933 bytes)
CBS 8.703 (Argentina) - front scan by Hans Seegers (promo and commercial copies)
This album has the Bringing It All Back Home front sleeve picture, and a unique caricature on the rear sleeve plus the track listing in Spanish and English.

All tracks are the mono album versions:

Side 1: Blowin' In The Wind; Highway 61 Revisited; All I Really Want To Do; Subterranean Homesick Blues; Like A Rolling Stone
Side 2: I Want You; Positively 4th Street; Don't Think Twice, It's All Right; Rainy Day Women #12 & 35; Mr. Tambourine Man

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/Uruguay). (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/Uruguay).

Thanks to Sergio Mariano Romay for finding a Sondor S.A. Uruguay test pressing of this album. Lars M. Banke found a second copy with that belonged to Radio Tabare in Uruguay with the station catalogue number on the front sleeve and Side 1, a tracklist in Spanish on the rear sleeve, plus radio station stickers on the rear sleeve and Side 2. Lars also has a third copy in a Sondor S.A. generic sleeve with stickers on both sides with typed track information in Spanish. The record matrix numbers are the same as those of Manuel's commercial copy.

Hans Seegers has a commercial copy of this album from Uruguay, again CBS 8.703, with the same front sleeve but with a different rear sleeve without the drawing of Bob and with the titles on the rear sleeve in Spanish only, also advertising twelve no Dylan LPs. The record has orange CBS labels, and the copy shown has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - ALM 46347, Side 2 - ALM 46348.Sergio Mariano Romay is of the opinion the Uruguayan commercial sleeve was actually imported from Argentina, with a sheet printed by Imp. Garcia S.A., Rio Branco, Uruguay, pasted over the rear with Uruguayan information as shown in the detail scan.

Thanks to Hans Seegers, Ulf Gyllenspetz, Sergio Magnacca, Manuel García Jara, Sergio Mariano Romay and Lars M. Banke for information and pictures.

"Songy Boba Dylana [Songs Of Bob Dylan]" - mono compilation LP (record club release), CBS/Supraphon 0 13 0434 (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 Albums (Other Dylan-only Compilations) for details.

CBS/Supraphon 0 13 0434 (Czechoslovakia) - front scan by Lukáš Berný, this is apparently a very thin paper sleeve

This album was made in Czechoslovakia by Supraphon on behalf of CBS. It was released first in 1968 as a limited edition CBS/Supraphon record club release Songy Boba Dylana [Songs Of Bob Dylan]. It was then re-released as just Bob Dylan, later in 1968, see below (Lukáš Berný says this release was just for export). The club edition had a 16 page booklet on thin paper with the English and translated lyrics of each song. The record has dark blue Supraphon labels.

CzechLPMono.jpg (17529 bytes)
CBS/Supraphon SUA 15994 (Czechoslovakia)
- front scan by Hans Seegers (the stereo LP sleeve is the same apart from a gold "stereo" sticker)

The commercial release of the album has a completely different sleeve. It was also exported to Russia, which is why there is Russian text on the rear sleeve of the 1968 release below the picture saying "Songs of an American poet, composer and singer - Bob Dylan" (thanks to Artur Jarosinski for the translation). The record has dark blue Supraphon labels. The record labels of Michel Pomarede's 1968 copy have "68 2" (2nd half of 1968) to the left of the centre hole. Sergio Mariano Romay's copy has the record labels with "68 2" but the sleeve has a "languette" or index tab as seen on French releases of the time, with the text on the rear sleeve side. The rear sleeve of this copy has the Russian text at bottom left. Simon Blokker has a 1969 re-release in the same sleeve with "69 1" (1st half of 1969) on the record labels to the left of the centre hole.

This Bob Dylan album was re-released in 1970 (twice) and 1971. The front sleeve was the same, but "COMPATIBLE" has been added under the catalogue numbers on the rear sleeve at top right. The Russian text on the rear sleeve at bottom left has now gone. The dates on the record labels to the left of the centre hole are now "70 1" (1st half of 1970), "70 2" (2nd half of 1970) and "71 1" (1st half of 1971). The colour difference is probably due to different scanners. On the Side 2 labels of all five releases Just Like A Woman is mistitled "Must Like A Woman"! This mistake was repeated on the Stereo album.
