These 7" Subterranean Homesick Blues singles are listed separately because of the length of the Mono Singles 1965 page. For details of the promo and regular singles with Like A Rolling Stone split into two parts, which are rarities, see 1965. For the other 1965 Mono Singles & EPs pages, see here:

"Subterranean Homesick Blues"/"She Belongs To Me" - 7" mono singles, Columbia 4-43242 (USA/Canada), 8 Mar 1965:
Peter Stone Brown says this single entered the US Billboard charts on 4 Mar 1965 - this may have been because of radio play.

This single was re-released in Nov 2011 in a boxed set of four 7" mono vinyl singles. The sleeve used the CBS South Africa SSC 556 front design (see below) and the CBS Norway rear design, for both see below, 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.

Various Artists - "Philco Invites You To A Pop Party Vol. I" - 7" mono singles boxed set, Columbia Special Products (no catalogue number) (USA), 1965:
Philco was a subsidiary of the Ford Motor Company, and this was a customer special offer. The box, which could be yellow or blue, contained five current Columbia 7" singles. Manuel García Jara points out that the single selection in these boxes was completely random, so there is no point in buying one unless you know it contains a Dylan single!

Volume I box front scan by Hans Seegers (yellow) Bob's contribution in this box was Subterranean Homesick Blues c/w She Belongs To Me, i.e. Columbia 4-43242. For details of that single, see above.

Various Artists - "Philco Invites You To A Pop Party Vol. II" - 7" mono singles boxed set, Columbia Special Products (no catalogue number) (USA), 1965:
This second Philco box contained also five current Columbia 7" singles. Again, the single selection in these boxes was completely random, so there is no point in buying one unless you know it contains a Dylan single! Again, Volume II was available in both yellow and blue boxes.

Volume II box front scan by Hans Seegers (blue)	Bob's contribution in this copy of the second box was again Subterranean Homesick Blues c/w She Belongs To Me, i.e. Columbia 4-43242! For details of that single, see above. This single comes in a Columbia generic sleeve with "PHILCO" stamped on the record labels. Manuel García Jara has a copy of the Volume II box with the yellow design with five non-Dylan singles, only one of which is shown. All the singles have "PHILCO" printed on the record labels, not stamped. These special labels occur only in the earliest releases of the boxes, and I have not yet seen a Dylan single with a label like this.			Volume II box front scan by Manuel García Jara (yellow)

"Subterranean Homesick Blues"/"She Belongs To Me" - 7" mono singles, CBS 201753 (UK), Apr 1965:

CBS 201753 promo single (UK) - A-side scan by Hans Seegers (push-out centre - song title on two lines)

The UK single was available as a CBS white label promo (with a large "A" on the A-side) and with the commercial orange CBS label with push-out or solid centres. There was no picture sleeve.

Paul Shenton's commercial single with a solid centre has a different A-side record label with the song title on one line instead of two in smaller text. The text "PRODUCTION: TOM WILSON" has been added to both sides below "(Dylan)". This single has stamped matrix numbers: A-side - A.5058-1A-1, B-side - A.5059-1B-1.

"Subterranean Homesick Blues"/"She Belongs To Me" - 7" mono single, CBS 1883 (Norway/Sweden), 1965:

CBS 1883 (Norway) - front scan by Olav Langum

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."

The catalogue number of the Swedish single is shown as CBS S 1883, but the "S" does not appear on the record labels. Also "CBS" is mis-spelled as "CSB" on the sleeve, which is folded!

CBS LL-764-C (Japan) - A-side scan by Hans Seegers

CBS LL-764-C (Japan) - B-Side scan by Hans Seegers

The Japanese 7" single CBS LL-764-C was the first Bob Dylan single to be issued in Japan, at a time when CBS was not yet part of Sony. The single has a 4-page folded insert and orange CBS labels. It is very rare indeed.

Bizarrely, the record labels of Wil Gielen's copy each have a sticker over the CBS logo and a ring of tape covering the copyright information round the circumference of the label. The reason why this should have been done is obscure, it's possible it was done for a music club. Wil's copies of Just Like A Woman/Obviously 5 Believers (CBS LL-987-C, 1966, see 1966 Just Like A Woman) and Rainy Day Women #12 & 35/Pledging My Time (CBS LL-928-C, 1966, see 1966 Rainy Day Women #12 & 35) also have the same defacing, so have come from the same source. Apparently similar taping has been found on items imported from Hong Kong, so these may have been exported from Japan to another Far East country

"Subterranean Homesick Blues"/"She Belongs To Me" - 7" mono singles, CBS BA-221172 (Australia)/CBS BA-461059 (New Zealand), 1965:

CBS BA-221172 (Australia) - A-side scan by Hans Seegers

CBS BA-461059 was the first Bob Dylan single to be released in New Zealand. It and the Australian single CBS BA-221172 have CBS orange labels. There were no picture sleeves. Stuart Moore has an Australian demo copy with a "NOT FOR SALE" rubber stamp on the B-side. Manuel García Jara has a similar copy with the stamp on the A-side. Manuel also has a copy of the New Zealand single with a yellow sticker from NZBC, the New Zealand Broadcasting Company, on the B-side.

Early Australian release record labels had the text "MADE IN AUSTRALIA BY A REGISTERED USER OF THE TRADE MARKS". This is because up to 1977 all Australian records were manufactured by the Australian Record Company (Pty) Ltd. (A.R.C.) on behalf of CBS. New Zealand releases have the text "MADE IN NZ BY A REGISTERED USER OF THE TRADEMARKS". The CBS and Epic record labels were manufactured and distributed in New Zealand by Phonogram (part of the Philips group, now Universal), who were the registered user.

These very rare CBS 7" mono singles were made in the Philippines by Mareco Inc. and use the US catalogue number. There were no picture sleeves. The mono promo single has plain white labels with the text rubber-stamped. The A-side has been misprinted with a partial backwards stamp! The commercial single has unique green labels and the copy shown has a handwritten radio station sticker, "DYRM". "RM" in the station's call sign is for Ramon Magsaysay, the original owner of the radio station and President of the Philippines, who was killed in an air crash in 1957.

"Subterranean Homesick Blues"/"She Belongs To Me" - 7" mono singles, CBS SSC.556 (South Africa/Southern Rhodesia), 1965:

CBS SSC.556 (South Africa/Southern Rhodesia) - front scan by Hans Seegers

This is similar to the UK single, but with the US picture sleeve, this time on card.

This single is very rare and one of the few South Africa-specific releases. It was also released in what was then Southern Rhodesia, later just Rhodesia and now Zimbabwe, with the same picture sleeve. The singles have plain orange CBS labels - the South African single was available with a push-out centre and a solid centre, the Southern Rhodesian single has a triangular push-out centre and "MADE IN S. RHODESIA" stamped in the black vinyl (the detail picture has enhanced contrast to show the text clearly).

"Subterranean Homesick Blues"/"The Times They Are A-Changin'" - 7" mono jukebox and commercial singles, CBS 1.904 (NL/West Germany), 10 May 1965:

CBS 1.904 (NL) - front scan by Manuel García Jara (first variant - folded sheet)	CBS 1.904 was the first Dylan single to be released in Holland. This Dutch single was released in a bewildering number of variants! There were two main sleeve variants - the first has song titles in cobalt blue and occurs both as a folded sheet and as a regular pocket style sleeve. The second has song titles in dark blue-violet and occurs only as a folded sheet. The rear of the sleeve is identical to the front in both cases. There are also four other sleeves with minor variants not shown.

The record label variants were very complicated but essentially summarise to this:

Large CBS logo overlapping the text "RESERVED UNAUTHORISED", playing speed shown as "45 rpm" on A-side and "45 RPM" on B-side (first variant below)
Large CBS logo overlapping the text "RESERVED UNAUTHORISED", playing speed shown as "45 RPM" on A-side and "45 rpm" on B-side (second variant below)
Misprint of second variant with catalogue number printed as "1904" instead of "1.904" (shown below)
Large CBS logo overlapping the text "RESERVED UNAUTHORISED", playing speed shown as "45 RPM" on both sides (not shown as both sides already illustrated)
Smaller CBS logo not overlapping text above, playing speed shown as "45 RPM" on both sides (third variant above)
Similar to third variant with playing speed shown as "45 RPM" on both sides but solid centre.

The record of Manuel García Jara's copy has a unique solid centre (variant 4). Apart from this difference, this copy has the second sleeve variant (a folded insert with dark blue lettering) This sleeve has a sticker from a previous owner. The labels have "45 RPM", "1.904" and a large CBS logo on both sides, similar to variant 3, but there are some differences:

A-side: "45 RPM" and "1.904" are in slightly different positions: more orientated to the right. The text "RECORDING FIRST..." is in a lower position.
B-side: the text under the centre hole is lower, overlapping the circumference text.

There were further tiny label variants, but these aren't shown. The pairing of sleeve and label variants appears to be random. The Dutch single was also distributed in West Germany - there was no separate German release.

"The Times They Are A-Changin'"/"Subterranean Homesick Blues" - 7" mono jukebox and commercial singles, CBS 1904 (Italy), 10 Jun 1965:
Ian Woodward has found an article from "Cashbox", Jun 1966, that dates this single from then, released at the same time as Highway 61 Revisited/Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?.

CBS 1904 (Italy) - front scan by Hans Seegers (black text)	This Italian release had The Times They Are A-Changin' as the A-side. The rear sleeve has the entire Ray Coleman article from the US and South African singles of Subterranean Homesick Blues/She Belongs To Me above. The Dylan single with green lettering on the front of the picture sleeve is very rare, the normal text colour for CBS 1904 was black. Also rare is the illustrated jukebox single of CBS 1904 with white labels. This came with a generic sleeve. The Italian commercial single had two label variants, shown on the left. The differences are in the text used for the catalogue number and the "BIEM" licence mark. The first variant was also available as a promo release with a sticker with text "DISCO CAMPANILE NON VENDIBLE".

Thanks to the eagle-eyed Dr. Hanns Peter Bushoff for spotting that the A-side of his copy has a tiny difference from Stefan's A-side - the text "longue durée [extended play]" to the left of the centre hole is in a different type face. To see this most clearly, look at the letter "g" - on the A-side of Stefan's copy and on both B-sides it looks like this: "g" (a serif font), on the A-side of Hanns Peter's copy it looks like this: "g" (a sans-serif font).

Thanks to Manfred Endtner, Stefan Haras and Dr. Hanns Peter Bushoff for information and scans.

"Como Un Vagabundo [Like A Rolling Stone]"/"Tristezas De Ausencia [Subterranean Homesick Blues]" - 7" mono promo and commercial singles, CBS 321.440 (Argentina/Uruguay), 1965:

CBS 321.440 (Argentina) - promo A-side scan by Hans Seegers

This 33⅓ RPM single was issued in Argentina as a white label promo and as a commercial release. Some copies of the commercial release were also issued as promos with a stamp on the B-side only. The white label promo has the text DISCO PROMOCIONAL PROHIBIDA LA VENDA" stamped in red. The orange label "demonstration single" has the text "DISCO PARA DEMOSTRACION - VENTA PROHIBIDA" stamped in black. The Uruguayan version of this release, distributed by Sondor S.A., has a slightly different label design.

Note the Spanish translation of these two titles is totally different from those on the Mexican single and EP on this page! My meagre Spanish tells me that the Mexican titles are literal, while these Argentinean titles are more subjective - "Como Un Vagabundo" means "Like A Vagabond", whereas "Como Una Piedra Que Rueda" means "Like A Stone That Rolls".

Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans.

"Como Una Piedra Que Rueda" [Like A Rolling Stone] - 7" mono EP, CBS EPC 496 (Mexico), 1965:
This EP exclusive to Mexico had a unique picture of Bob at the piano by Daniel Kramer. For the Mexican 7" single of Like A Rolling Stone, see above.

CBS EPC 496 (Mexico) - front of folded card sleeve (my copy)

A-side: Como Una Piedra Que Rueda [Like A Rolling Stone]
B-side: Positivamente La Cuarte Calle [Positively 4th Street]; El Blues Del Subterráneo Melancólico [Subterranean Homesick Blues]

All songs are the original English versions, not Spanish! There is also a Mexican album with this title, which is actually the regular version of Highway 61 Revisited

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 2 label and 2 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, yellow/red 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.
