This page contains promotional and commercial releases of mono 7" singles and EPs with Dylan album tracks for 1965. These don't contain rare tracks, but they're included because it is no longer possible to buy mono versions of album tracks. Mono LPs have their own pages, see Mono Album Releases. Because of the length of this page, the major 1965 Dylan mono 7" singles and EPs without rarities are now listed separately here:

Mono 7" Singles 1965 - Like A Rolling Stone ] Mono 7" Singles 1965 - Positively 4th Street ] Mono 7" Singles 1965 - Subterranean Homesick Blues ]

For 1965 Dylan mono 7" singles and EPs with rarities see 1965. For illustrations of all the generic 7" single sleeves used by Bob's record companies from the 1960s onwards, see the 7" Single Sleeves page. (A single has much less value to a collector if it doesn't have its correct original sleeve.)

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 Times They Are A-Changin'"/"Honey Just Allow Me Once More Chance" - 7" mono single, CBS 201751 (UK/Scandinavia), Mar 1965/CBS SSC.567 (South Africa), 1965:

Times7UKMonoPromoA.jpg (29955 bytes)
CBS 201751 (UK) promo single - A-side scan by Hans Seegers
The UK single was issued twice with the orange label, and again in 1974 with the red/yellow label. It was also issued with the same catalogue number later in the 1970s in stereo, see International 7" & 12" Singles 1974-76. Note 1960s UK singles have punch-out centres so they can be played at home or in a jukebox. Hans Seegers' 1974 copy of the single has a double circular groove as if the circle was going to be punched out, but then wasn't. Ronald Born's 1974 copy has a single circular groove, but is otherwise identical.

The orange mono singles show the A-side title incorrectly as "Times They Are A-Changin'".

For two generic picture sleeves sold in the UK to hold these singles, see 7" Singles Sleeves.

The Scandinavian 7” singles were all made at the Polygram pressing plant in Oslo, Norway, while the sleeves were printed in the individual countries. The Danish sleeve is plain white on the reverse and is of the pocket type open at the top. The Norwegian sleeve is also of the pocket type, but this time the opening is on the left. Again the reverse is plain white with one folded flap. In contrast, the Swedish sleeve is a single sheet folded at the bottom with the same design on both sides once it's folded. The Norwegian-pressed records have orange CBS labels with push-out centres and with the A-side title misprinted as "Time They Are A-Changin'" as the Norwegian sleeve and the two original UK singles. The catalogue number is shown as CBS 201 751 on the record labels and the Swedish/Danish sleeves.

The South African single also has an orange CBS label with both solid and push-out centre.

Information and scans from Hans Seegers, Ronald Born and Nol Grint.

Thanks to Anton Wennbom for pointing out that his Swedish copy of CBS 201 751 has a slightly different record label than the Norwegian label shown above. The text is generally crisper than on the Norwegian label, and "45" is positioned slightly higher than on the Norwegian copy. Hans Seegers' Swedish copy is in fact the same. Hans believes there is no evidence that this is a second run, just that the copies for different countries were printed on different presses. All copies have push-out centres, so that they could be played at home or in a jukebox.

CBS 1781 (Sweden) - front scan by Hans Seegers
The Swedish single CBS 1781 had a picture sleeve, shown on right. It is the same design as other Swedish singles of this period with just the song titles changed. Information from Hans Seegers: "Until 1973 all Scandinavian releases were pressed at the PolyGram pressing plant in Oslo, but up to 1968 the CBS companies in Norway, Denmark and Sweden printed their own picture sleeves. The labels of these Scandinavian singles are therefore completely identical, and all have 710 in the matrix number. Until 1968 all Norwegian releases came with cardboard inserts unless stated otherwise. Note that the Norwegian inserts feature the song titles of the A-side only."

This single is available in three versions, the first two are misprints. The first has the catalogue numbers of both sides misprinted as the A-side (1781-A) and the second has both sides misprinted as the B-side (1781-B). The third version has the catalogue numbers correct with Maggie's Farm as 1781-A and On The Road Again as 1781-B.
