These 7" Lay, Lady, Lay singles and EPs 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 the 1969 Mono Singles page, the other major 1969 singles are now here:
For 1969 Dylan mono 7" singles and EPs with rarities see 1969. 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.)
Incidentally, the well-known line from Lay, Lady, Lay - "lay across my big brass bed", comes from Rough Alley Blues by Blind Willie McTell with Ruth Willis, and is actually sung by Ruth Willis.
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!

"Lay, Lady, Lay"/"Peggy Day" - 7" promo and commercial mono singles, Columbia 4-44926 (USA/Canada),
1 Jul 1969:
The tracks could have been reductions from stereo, since no
mono mix was actually created for Nashville Skyline.
However, as per Mark Easter's comments for I Threw It All Away/Drifter's Escape
(see here),
these tracks could have been specially mixed in mono for the 7" single releases.
For the mono version of Nashville Skyline, see
Mono Album Releases.
The commercial US single also has the same two variants. The Canadian single was released with one version only - the one with the album title on one line.
For an Indian mono single with the same catalogue number, see below.
Information and scans from Hans Seegers and Peter Denzler.

"Lay, Lady, Lay"/"Peggy Day" - 7" mono single, Columbia 4-44926 (Jamaica), Jul 1969:
 Columbia 4-44926 (Jamaica) - A-side scan by Hans Seegers |
This Columbia Jamaican single is in poor
condition - however it is extremely rare and therefore still very valuable.
It came without a picture sleeve. Despite the white label it is not
a promo, but a commercial release. For a US mono single with this catalogue number, see above. Information and scans from Hans Seegers. |

"Lay, Lady, Lay"/"Peggy Day" - 7" mono single, Columbia 4-44926 (India), Jul 1969:
 Columbia 4-44926 (India) - A-side scan by Peter Denzler |
This very rare single had unique black CBS labels with silver text. For a US mono single with this catalogue number, see above. For the corresponding 1969 Indian mono release of Tonight I'll be Staying Here With You, see the appropriate sub-page. For the very rare 1970 Indian stereo release of Wigwam with this label style, see International 7" Stereo Singles & EPs 1970-73. This label style was also used for the equally rare Indian release of George Jackson, see 1971. Information and scans from Peter Denzler. |

"Lay, Lady, Lay"/"Peggy Day" - 7" mono singles,
CBS 4434 (UK/Ireland), 25 Aug 1969:
Again, the tracks would have been reductions from stereo, since no
mono mix was actually created for Nashville Skyline.
 CBS 4434 (UK) - promo A-side scan by Hans Seegers (with date 25 Aug 1969) |
The UK and Irish singles did not have picture sleeves. The UK single was reissued in 1975 with orange/yellow "new design" labels, and then again in mid 1979 with red/yellow labels. All label variations are shown below. Also note that the second 1969 UK commercial release omits the words "USA Production" from under the song titles (the difference in the colours between the copy with a punch-out centre and the copy without is probably due to scanner variations). Thanks to Hans Seegers and Éamonn Ó Catháin for information and scans. |

 CBS 4434 (France) - third release (Série Gemini), version without "languette", front scan by Hans Seegers |
|
|
|
For more information about the unique French index tabs or "languettes", see 1965. The second French release (my copy) has no languette. The third copy from Hans Seegers also has no languette, but it does have a 57mm cut-away strip on the back edge. The record in this copy has brown injection labels. For an injection label a thin coloured plastic ring-shaped layer is injected into the record itself, and the text/graphics cut out using a stamp so that the black vinyl underneath shows through, there is no paper label.
Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans.

 CBS 4434 (Spain) - B-side scan by Hans Seegers |
Ronald Born's copy of the Spanish release has a minor variation on the rear sleeve from that of Hans Seegers, in that the words "CARA A" and "CARA B" are missing from over the song titles. The front of the sleeve and the record labels are identical.
Thanks to Hans Seegers and Ronald Born for information and scans.
"Lay, Lady, Lay"/"Peggy Day" - 7" mono singles, CBS 4434 (Portugal), Jul 1969:
The Portuguese releases of this single are very complicated! There are three sleeve variants:
1 CBS logo on front and back is 15x15 mm, "GRAFICOS REUNIDOS-PORTO" in capital letters on the back, "Fabricado em Portugal" printed on the back.
2 CBS logo on front is 20x20 mm, on the back 19x19 mm, "gráficos reunidos-porto" in small letters on the back, "Fabricado em Portugal" not printed on the back. There are two sub-variants of this sleeve:
2A Overall length of "CBS é uma marca registrada da Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc., E.U.A." on back cover is 83 mm.
2B Overall length of "CBS é uma marca registrada da Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc., E.U.A." on back cover is 99 mm.
3 CBS logo on front and back is 20x20 mm, "gráficos reunidos-porto" in small letters on the back, "Fabricado em Portugal" not printed on the back. (the front of Sleeve 3 is therefore the same as Sleeve 2).
|
|
Added to this, the record labels have two main variants, each of which has two sub-variants: 1 "(B. Dylan)" next to song titles, no date above "FACE 1/2":
2 "(B. Dylan)" below song titles:

"Lay, Lady, Lay"/"Peggy Day" - 7" mono singles, CBS 4434 (Israel), 1969:
This single was released with three sleeve and two label variants. The first sleeve exists in a promo version with a Hebrew language sticker on the front sleeve. It has two generic rear sleeve variants, each showing six different singles by other CBS artists. The second release sleeve has a differently printed front while the generic rear has six new other artist singles printed in purple. Both records have orange CBS labels, but the second label text style is completely different from the first. This was the second and last Dylan 7" single in Israel, the first was Like A Rolling Stone/Gates Of Eden, see Mono 7" Singles & EPs 1965.

"Lay, Lady, Lay"/"I Threw It All Away" - 7" mono single, CBS BA 301258 (Greece), 1969:
 CBS BA 301258 (Greece) - A-side scan by Hans Seegers |
Dylan releases were very rare during the Greek "colonels" regime, and this must have been regarded as non-political. CBS records were distributed by a company called "Music Box" in Athens. This single contained the album tracks from Nashville Skyline, and had orange CBS labels. There are two label variations: the first (not shown) has no space between "Produced by Bob Johnston" and the CBS logo, the second (shown) has 4mm space. For details of the same single released in stereo in the UK in 1976 in the "Hall Of Fame" series, see US & International 7" & 12" Singles & EPs 1974-76. For the CBS Greece "Music Box" sleeve for this record, see 7" Single Sleeves. Information and scans from Hans Seegers. |
