This page contains promotional and commercial releases of mono 7" singles and EPs with Dylan album tracks for 1966-68. Mono LPs have their own pages, see Mono Album Releases. All Bob's original mono albums from Bob Dylan to John Wesley Harding were released on CD as The Original Mono Recordings in Oct 2010.
For 1966-67 Dylan mono 7" singles and EPs with rarities see the yearly pages in Part 1 (there are no rarities for 1968). 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!

"With God On Our Side"/"Motorpsycho Nitemare" - 7" mono EP, CBS EP 6266 (France), 1966:
|
|
In a unique release exclusive to France, With God On Our Side from The Times They Are A -Changin' is cut into two with Part 1 (5:21) on the A-side, and Part 2 (1:43) on the B-side Because this is a rarity, full details are in 1966. |
"One Too Many Mornings" - 7" mono EP, CBS EP 6070 (UK), 1966:
Hans Seegers informs me this is the only worldwide Dylan EP ever issued with five tracks!
Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans.
"Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?"/"Highway 61
Revisited" - 7" mono single, Columbia 4-43477 (USA/Canada), Jan 1966:
For an early version of Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?
released by mistake in the USA, see 1965.
Dylan discographies give the US release date as 27 Dec 1965, but members of the internet newsgroup rec.music.dylan have disputed this date, claiming the single was not in record stores until Jan 1966. According to Hans Seegers, 27 Dec 1965 is the date the US single was released for airplay (see the stamp on the B-side of the promo Columbia single), not to stores, and the European release date was definitely Jan 1966. This is supported by the fact that the UK single labels below have the text "θ 1966" and the Dutch single labels below has the text "Recording first published 1966" (Highway 61 Revisited is listed as first published 1965, as you would expect). Also, the French test pressing is dated 5 Jan 1966. Some US promo copies were mislabelled and had the B-side label on both sides even though the A-side played "Crawl" correctly.
|
|
The B-side, Highway 61 Revisited, is the mono album version (3:20), slightly shorter than the stereo album version (3:28). This was a rarity (R-0488), but is now included on the mono release of Highway 61 Revisited as part of the 9CD set The Original Mono Recordings in Oct 2010. This single was re-released in Nov 2011 in a boxed set of four 7" mono vinyl singles. The sleeve used the CBS Denmark front design, see below, while the labels had a similar design to that of the CDs in the 9CD mono set with a "365 SOUND"/MONO/arrows logo. On his Electric Dylan site Roger Ford says: "Here the ten seconds of extended play-out in the stereo mix do at least give us a little bit more singing by Dylan - a sort of hummed blues riff in between his blasts on the "police car" whistle, plus a shout just as the track fades."

"Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?"/"Highway 61 Revisited" - 7" mono single, CBS 201900 (UK), Jan 1966:
 CBS 201900 (UK) - acetate A-side scan by Arie de Reus |
Shown left is a 7" single-sided metal acetate of the A-side of CBS 201900 (UK).
Because there's a hole punched through the metal it's not possible to read the
release date. R-0488 is included on the mono release of Highway 61 Revisited as part of the 9CD set The Original Mono Recordings in Oct 2010, so is no longer a rarity. Some copies of the UK single are reported to have had a picture sleeve, but this may well have been one of two "generic" Highway 61 Revisited sleeves sold in 1965 - for illustrations of these generic sleeves provided by Hans Seegers see 7" Singles Sleeves. Other European releases had picture sleeves as shown below. Thanks to Arie de Reus and Hans Seegers for information and scans. |

|
|
The same CBS single pressed in Norway was issued in Norway, Sweden
and Denmark with different sleeves - the reverse of the
Norwegian and Danish single sleeves are plain white, while the Swedish sleeve is folded
with the reverse the same as the front. The Swedish promo sleeve with the red
BOB DYLAN" is extremely rare, as it was printed for CBS by Philips and the
reverse bears the Philips logo and text "AB PHILIPS-SONORA" on the back. This
was a proof sleeve which was only used for copies which were distributed to
music journalists. As can be seen, it is a folded sheet 1½ times the size of a
normal sleeve, with printing on both sides. The former R-0488 is included on the mono release of Highway 61 Revisited as part of the 9CD set The Original Mono Recordings in Oct 2010, so is no longer a rarity. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. |

These singles did not have a picture sleeve. Stuart Moore has a copy of
the Australian single BA-221252 with a "NOT FOR SALE" stamp on the B-side.
Augie Krater's copy of the New Zealand single BA-461082 is missing the "45"
to the left of the centre CBS logo on the copies owned by Hans Seegers and
Bill Hester. The former R-0488 is included on the mono release of Highway 61 Revisited as part of the 9CD set The Original Mono Recordings in Oct 2010, so is no longer a rarity. Thanks to Hans Seegers, Stuart Moore, Bill Hester and Augie Krater for information and scans. |

The 1966 single was released before Sony took over CBS. It has a folded insert with the lyrics in English in the centre. Les Kokay tells me these lyrics differ from the official lyrics published from The 1969 reissue single is part of the CBS/Sony "Airplay" series and has a "747" sleeve (see 7" Single Sleeves) with a folded insert. It was available in both promo (yellow label) and commercial (orange label) releases. The B-side is timed as 3:15.

1968
Bob Dylan/The Band - "Basement Tapes"
acetates, Sunset Sound Recorders (USA); Feldmans/Dwarf
Music (UK), 1968:
The Emidisc UK acetate is reputedly the source of the songs made available to UK groups such as Manfred Mann (The
Mighty Quinn), The Brian Auger Trinity/Julie Driscoll (This Wheel's On Fire),
Fairport Convention (Million Dollar Bash), etc. Apparently only about ten copies
were pressed. John Bauldie describes this 14 track acetate in detail in his
article "The Basement Tapes" in "Record Collector", Jul
1987, but Hans Seegers disputes its legality. Hans says the songs were only
legally distributed on tape, which is confirmed by Dean Chambers, who has
information the songs were supplied to the music publishing company Feldmans in
London on a 7" reel by Albert Grossman. However, several acetates were indeed
made from this tape for private distribution, and these were the source of the
much poorer quality bootleg LPs that surfaced. The US acetate from Arie de Reus
has exactly the same track list and appears official. ("Emidisc" was EMI's brand of blank acetate,
made at Hayes, Middlesex, which could be used by anyone
in the recording industry - exactly like a CD-R today - and the name does not mean this
recording was produced by
EMI itself. I
have other 1960s acetates pressed using Emidisc blanks.)

Too Much Of Nothing - alternate take to the officially released track, recorded at Big Pink, West Saugerties, NY, Jul-Oct 1967 (R-0545, also listed in 1968)
Tears Of Rage - alternate take to the officially released track, recorded at Big Pink, West Saugerties, NY, Jul-Oct 1967 (R-0546, also listed in 1968)
All other tracks on this acetate (shown on the label listings) were released on The Basement Tapes in 1975, on Biograph in 1985, or on The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3 in 1991, although these are mono versions.
The single Emidisc acetate of "I Shall Be Released" is of the track from The Basement Tapes sessions eventually released on The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3 in 1991, not the later version released on Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II in 1971. The title is misspelled "Realeased"! The three other single Emidisc acetates are all of tracks from the UK LP and later released on The Basement Tapes in 1975. Gerd Rundel's copy of Please Mrs. Henry is blank on the reverse and comes in a grey card sleeve with blue edges.
Thanks to Arie de Reus, Andrew Codd and Gerd Rundel for information and scans.

 CBS 3392 (Italy) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
Again both sides of this single are from the mono version of John Wesley
Harding. This single has the same front sleeve as the German single
above but a different B-side, possibly because of the success of Jimi
Hendrix's version of All Along The Watchtower. Manuel Garcia Jara has a
promo copy with a triangular hole punched through the sleeve. The record
inside both sleeves is the same. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. |

Both sides of these singles are from the mono version of John Wesley
Harding. For All Along The Watchtower as a B-side teamed with Drifter's
Escape see above. The Dutch single is not easy to find nowadays, Hans
Seegers has a mislabelled copy with this sleeve and these labels but the
record plays French music. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. |
