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" - vinyl LP, CBS BGP 62847 (UK), Mar 1967:
 CBS BGP 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 St 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). This album is included here for completeness, but also on the 1967 page because it contains rarities! |

"Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits" - mono LP, CBS 37653 (Brazil), 1970:
 CBS 37653 (Brazil) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
This album has a unique cover design with a picture by Daniel Kramer and
also a unique tracklist. The record has orange CBS labels. There was no
stereo counterpart. This album is included here for completeness, but also on the 1970 page because it contains a rarity! Side 1: I Want You; The Times They Are A-Changin'; I'll Be Your Baby Tonight; Mr. Tambourine Man; Don't Think Twice, It's All Right; Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You. Side 2: Mixed Up Confusion (R-0007 - mono single version, see 1962); Blowin' In The Wind; Like A Rolling Stone; Love Minus Zero/No Limit; Rainy Day Women # 12 & 35; It Ain't Me, Babe. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. |

Other Mono Dylan-only Compilations
"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:
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 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). |
