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:
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 singles, CBS 201751 (UK/Scandinavia), Mar 1965; CBS SSC.567 (South Africa), 1965:
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 the 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. Rene Jørgensen's copy of the 1965 single has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - A 5054-2A-1, Side 2 - A 5055-2B-1 and comes in the first CBS UK generic sleeve (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. There were two slightly different releases. 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.
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.
The South African single also has an orange CBS label with both solid and push-out centre.
For European CBS 7" mono singles with The Times They Are A-Changin' combined with Subterranean Homesick Blues, see the 1965 Subterranean Homesick Blues link below.
Thanks to Hans Seegers, Ronald Born, Nol Grint and Anton Wennbom for information and scans.

The Swedish single CBS 1781 had a picture sleeve, shown below. 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. The Norwegian single is very rare, only about 300 copies were made. The A-side is misprinted as 1781-B but the B-side is correct as 1781-B.
Thanks to Norman McBride for information. Thanks to Hans Seegers, Arie de Reus and Kenneth Robson for further information and scans.
"Blowin' In The Wind"/"Corrina, Corrina" - 7" mono promo and commercial singles, CBS 1462 (Italy), 10 Jun 1965, re-released 1 Feb 1968:
 CBS 1462 (Italy) - front of sleeve, scan by Hans Seegers (all commercial releases) |
This single occurs with four label variations and an
extremely rare promo sleeve. 1965 promo copies have the commercial record
inside a sleeve with red lettering on the front instead of the black used
for the commercial releases. The labels of all the 1965 releases have "BOB DYLAN" as the last line of horizontal text and "45" to the left of the centre hole. The first release has the track times to the left of the centre hole, the second and third releases have the track times on the line with the writer credit. On the second release the "45" to the left of the centre hole is 3mm wide, on the third release it is 4mm wide and in a different type face. |
