These 7" Positively 4th Street singles are listed separately because of the length of the Mono Singles 1965 page. The 7" mono single version of Positively 4th Street was released on CD on The Best Of The Original Mono Recordings in Oct 2010, see The Best Of The Original Mono Recordings (2010). For the other 1965 Mono Singles & EPs pages, see 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.)

"Positively 4th Street"/"From A Buick 6" - 7" promo and commercial mono singles, Columbia 4-43389 (USA), Jul 1965:
 Columbia 4-43389 (USA) - A-side scan by Arie de Reus (promo single) |
This contained an early, slower, version of Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window? released on a 7" single as Positively 4th Street by mistake and withdrawn very quickly. For full details see the Rarities list for 1965. The commercial single looks exactly the same as the first correct release of Columbia 4-43389. See below for the regular single of Positively 4th Street and 1966 for the regular single of Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?, which has an unedited mono version of Highway 61 Revisited on the B-side. Thanks to Arie de Reus and Yan Friis for scans. |

"Positively 4th Street"" - 10" mono acetates, Columbia 4-43389 (USA), Sep 1965:
 Columbia 4-43389 (USA) - acetate of A-side, scan by Hans Seegers (first example) |
Both these rare US mono acetates of Positively 4th Street are on 10"
single-sided metal discs and have white Columbia Recording Studios labels
with handwritten text (by the same person). The first example is from Hans Seegers and shows the 3:47 timing but has no catalogue number. The second example was found by Arie de Reus on eBay and has the catalogue number 4-43389 plus a pressing number ZSP 11386. This has a timing of 3:50. This copy is in a generic "audiodisc" sleeve from Audio Devices Inc. (manufacturers of the blank acetates). This version has a "one, two, three, four" countdown in a male voice, probably Bob Johnston's, which is unique to this one acetate. For full details see the rarities list for 1965. Thanks to Hans Seegers and Arie de Reus for information and scan. |

Columbia 4-43389 (USA) - front scan by Augie Krater |
The US single Columbia 4-43389 was originally released with red labels but
was reissued (still in mono) in 1972 with
grey labels. Viktor Ericsson has a copy in a generic Columbia sleeve with
matrix numbers: A-side - ZSP 111386 - 2C, B-side - ZSP 111387 - 1G. Arie de Reus has a commercial sleeve with a cut-out centre, which he believes
was used for the promo records shown. Thanks to Howard Bender for the scan of the commercial release with a solid centre. For 1973 Columbia US "Hall of Fame" mono singles with Positively 4th Street backed by Subterranean Homesick Blues, Columbia 4-33221/13-33221, see Mono 7" Singles & EPs 1970-76. |

Thanks to Simon Blokker for pointing out that

that Al Kooper's name is wrongly shown as "Cooper" (his real name is Alan
Peter Kuperschmidt).
 London 45 LON 9792 (USA) [The Rolling Stones] - promo single A-side scan from www.45cat.com |
Martin Zehr of Kansas City, MO, has a London Records USA promo single with orange labels (the commercial labels are blue) for the Rolling Stones' Get Off Of My Cloud/I'm Free, released in Autumn 1965. The record, however, plays Positively 4th Street/From a Buick 6, released about the same time. The A-side matrix number is as expected - ZSP111386 1F. The London 45 has the A-side title crossed out, with writing "Dear Gang, This is Bob Dylan's Positively 4th Street." Some DJ got a real surprise! Since both 45s were released about the same time, this must be a pressing plant error. Columbia and London shared pressing plants in the USA. |

(USA), 2011
 Columbia/Legacy 88697977117-3/4-43389 (USA) - front scan by Augie Krater (2011 release) |
This single was re-released in Nov 2011 in a boxed set of four 7" mono vinyl singles. It uses the 1965 US sleeve but this was poorly reproduced - both the 2011 and 1965 scans are by Augie Krater and you can see the 1965 sleeve is cleaner and brighter, while the labels had a similar design to that of the CDs in the 9CD mono set The Original Mono Recordings released in Oct 2010 with a "365 SOUND"/MONO/arrows logo. These labels do not list the musicians. |

The 18CD Collector's Edition of The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 - Bob Dylan 1965-1966 The Cutting Edge includes nine of the mono 7" singles released in 1965 and 1966 with new picture sleeves and a "leopard-skin" spindle with which to play the singles. Columbia 4-43346 from Jul 1965 is included as Columbia/Legacy 88875124402-(SV)3 with the US commercial single labels. The front sleeve is from the Danish single release below and the rear most closely resembles the rear of a 1966 French EP. |

"Positively 4th Street"/"From A Buick 6" - 7" mono promo and commercial singles, CBS 201824 (UK), Sep 1965, re-released 1967:
The first variant with three spokes, which occurs as commercial copies only, was made for CBS by Philips. Rene Jørgensen's copy of the first variant has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - A-5202-4, Side 2 - A-5203-2 and comes in the 1965 CBS UK deeper orange generic sleeve with the wavy top (see 7" Singles Sleeves).
The second and third variants with four spokes were made by Oriole, which was bought by CBS in Sep 1964. The second variant occurs both as white label promo copies and as orange label commercial copies and the labels have the same text layout as the first variant. Manuel García Jara has a copy of the second variant with a solid centre and textured labels. Ronald Born thinks the third variant, which again occurs as commercial copies only, dates from Spring 1967, when CBS started adding "Side A" and "Side B" to record labels.
 CBS 201824 (UK) - fake front sleeve, picture from eBay |
Thanks to Manuel García Jara for finding this
CBS UK single with a fake picture sleeve on eBay in Jun 2022. This
sleeve is the same on both sides. The original UK single came without
a picture sleeve. The record with this sleeve looks genuine. The Dylan picture has been taken from the 1966 Daniel Kramer photo taken at Aust Ferry, Gloucestershire, used for The Bootleg Series Vol. 7 - No Direction Home: The Soundtrack in 2005. On the Kramer photo, as here, the car number plate is "540 CYN" - for the 2005 video and audio releases it was changed to "1235 RD" (a reference to Rainy Day Women #12 & 35)! |

"Positively 4th Street"/"From A Buick 6" - 7" mono
promo and commercial singles, CBS 1.893 (NL), 8 Nov 1965:
I previously listed the release date of this single as Sep 1965, the same as
the UK release date, but Tom Willems says the book "Hypnotist Collectors" by
Jean-Louis Dréau and Robert Schlockoff (Média Presse, France, 1989) gives the
release date as 8 Nov 1965, and the single entered the Dutch charts on 13 Nov
1965.
 CBS 1.893 (NL) - front scan by Hans Seegers (variant 1A - lime green text) |
The CBS Dutch sleeve came in two main variants "BOB DYLAN" the same colour as the song titles: lime green, lime yellow, light green, green (1A - 1D) "BOB DYLAN" in white, song titles in pine green (2) |

Manuel's sleeve with lime yellow text (variant 1B) includes the record described as "first release variant 2". The sleeve with light green text (variant 1C) matches the "first release variant 3" and the sleeve with dark green text (variant 1D) has a second release record.
Like the US single above "Musicians" is misspelled as "Musicans" on both the A- and B-sides, and Al Kooper's name is wrongly shown as "Cooper".
As can be seen, the sleeve variant 2 A-side title is also slightly lower, with less space between the titles. The first variant (1A) occurs in a misprint with part of the CBS logo reversed in the top right hand corner! Manuel García Jara has two copies where the labels are variants of the first release, which had "45 RPM" as the playing speed on both sides.
The second release of the Dutch single with the darker green lettering comes with either a folded sleeve or a regular sealed "bag-type" sleeve. The rear was identical to the front. The labels of the second release were virtually identical to those of the first except that they had "45 rpm" instead of "45 RPM".
Hans Seegers has a Dutch mispressing that plays Positively 4th Street on both sides.
Thanks to Hans Seegers, Tom Willems, Manuel García Jara and Simon Blokker for information and scans.
"Positively 4th Street"/"From A Buick 6" - 7" mono singles, CBS 1.893 (Norway/Sweden), Sep 1965:

The Norwegian single had two different front sleeves, one with red text, and the other with text in dark purple. The rear sleeve was plain white. The record was pressed in Oslo, Norway. These labels do not list the musicians. |

This release has a crop from The Times They Are A-Changin' front
sleeve as the cover picture and the record has orange CBS labels. There are
two rear
sleeve variants - the first shows five German Dylan LPs and three singles
while the second is exactly the same as the front. The record was made in
Germany and has orange CBS labels. These labels do not list the musicians. Thanks to Hans Seegers and Michel Pomarede for information and scans. |

"Positively 4th Street"/"From A Buick 6" - 7" mono singles, CBS BA-221222 (Australia), Sep 1965:
 CBS BA-221222 (Australia) - A-side scan by Hans Seegers (variant 1) |
These singles came in a standard CBS plastic sleeve. The records have orange CBS labels. Manuel García Jara points out that although Australian single labels did not indicate an A-side or B-side, the matrix number of the A-side was always lower than that of the B-side. In this case, From A Buick 6 is "MX146415" and Positively 4th Street is "MX146416", which would imply that From A Buick 6 was intended to be the A-side in Australia. |

The labels of Manuel García Jara's copy have a smaller Allan's logo to the right of the centre hole and less space between the Allans logo and the matrix number.

Thanks to Bill Hester for information about the New Zealand release, CBS
BA-461074. The copy owned by Manuel García Jara has the catalogue numbers
and matrix numbers to the right of the centre hole slightly higher than on
the labels of Hans Seegers' copy, as shown in the detailed scans. These
labels do not list the musicians. Hans Seegers explains that the centre of Stuart Moore's New Zealand single must have been cut out by a jukebox operator. It would not have been sold by CBS in this way, as their logo is missing! Thanks to Hans Seegers, Stuart Moore and Manuel García Jara for information and scans. |

The very rare release from Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) has a unique triangular push-out centre. The label is otherwise identical to the South African release, but the record has "MADE IN S. RHODESIA" stamped in the vinyl itself. Manuel García Jara's copy has "PROMOTIONAL RECORD NOT FOR SALE" rubber stamped on the A-side. Hans Seegers' copy has a patch on the A-side where a sticker has been.

but on Sergio Mariano Romay's copy they are printed further to the right,

The Italian single was released in three jukebox editions with generic sleeves.

These singles from before CBS was bought by Sony are very rare and expensive, especially in the condition shown. The sleeve is a folded sheet. The promo record has white labels and the commercial record has orange CBS/Sony labels. For the US release, Columbia 4-43389, and other international singles with these two tracks, see above. These labels do not list the musicians.

"Positively 4th Street"- 7" mono EP, CBS 6198 (Portugal), 1965:
 CBS 6198 (Portugal) - front scan by Hans Seegers (variant 1) |
In addition to the title track, this EP has From A Buick 6 on the A-side, and Like A Rolling Stone on the B-side. The front sleeve design is similar to USA Columbia 4-43389 above. There are several differently coloured front sleeves, all with the same rear sleeve and record, which has orange CBS labels. The different label colours are probably just due to scanner differences. François Guillez has a copy in a generic CBS sleeve that has a promo sticker with "OFERTA" on the A-side. The B-side is as shown. |

 CBS EPC 496 (Mexico) - front of folded card sleeve (my copy) |
All songs are the mono album versions, not Spanish. There is also a Mexican album with the title Como Una Piedra Que Rueda, which is actually the regular version of Highway 61 Revisited. A-side: Como Una Piedra Que Rueda
[Like A Rolling Stone] |

Hans Seegers adds: "There are 8 variations of the Mexican Like A Rolling Stone EP. The first one came in a bag type cardboard sleeve with folded-over flaps, orange labels and was released in 1965 in two label and two sleeve variations. In 1966 CBS Mexico started using folded out paper sleeves and "1966" on the labels. This one came in many label and cover variations. Catalogue number and release date remain the same until into the 1980s, e.g. orange labels for half the 1970's, orange/yellow labels afterwards. Front sleeve: CBS logo and catalogue number in blue, but also in red. Many “collectors” don't believe it until they've seen it!"
The copy shown (mine) is a later release with a folded card sleeve and "(P) 1966" on the orange labels. On the rear of the sleeve is an advert for a contemporary CBS jazz EP by pianist Ray Bryant.
