"George Jackson"/"Lay, Lady, Lay" - 7" single, CBS
15.054 (Venezuela), 1972:
For all international promo and commercial 1971/72 releases of the regular George Jackson
7" single
see 1971.
 "Soledad Brother" - the book by George Jackson (the Venezuelan edition that came with the 7" single) |
R-0084-3 George
Jackson - "Big Band" version
- lyrics on bobdylan.com
The B-side is the regular version of Lay, Lady, Lay from Nashville Skyline. Hans Seegers informs me this is the rarest world-wide version of George Jackson! This single came an orange "DISCOS CBS" sleeve with a wrap-around black-and-white gatefold sleeve with a copy of "Soledad Brother", the book of prison letters by George Jackson (shown on left) which is believed to have inspired Bob to write the song. There are two small label variations in that "č-1972" is either present below the catalogue number on the left or missing. Manuel Garcia Jara has a copy of the book and single bought in Peru in 1973 which came in a brown paper bag with the Milton Glaser illustration. Both the sleeve and the A-side of the record have stamps with "EXP" indicating an export. The single label variant is the one without the "č-1972". R-0084 is not identified as the "Big Band" version. This track was also released on an exclusive 1972 Venezuelan compilation LP, see below. Thanks to Hans Seegers and Manuel Garcia Jara for information and scans. |

This is a rare album with a quirky song selection released only in Venezuela! It was later

title on the record label itself is Los Mas Grandes Exitos De Bob Dylan [Bob
Dylan's Greatest Hits]. For all international promo and commercial 1971/72 releases of the regular George Jackson

series "The Live Show" (see 1990).
R-0079 Just Like A Woman
This set was released in Argentina as El Concierto Para Bangladesh, Apple 12315 - scans required.
Thanks to Gerd Rundel for finding an Apple US acetate on eBay. This is sides 5 and 6 and comes in a card sleeve with a label from Sterling Labs, New York. The record has green/white Apple labels with a mixture of typed and handwritten text. Steven Fant has a very rare uncut label sheet with all six US record labels measuring 12½" x 8½". Stuart Moore has two records of an Apple Australia radio station promo set with white labels and plain white sleeves. The record labels have only the partial title "Bangladesh" and the record side number written in blue ballpoint pen. On this copy the labels are stamped with the logo of DB Music!, a Melbourne, Victoria, radio station now known as Mix 101. Side 5 (shown) with Bob's set is on the back of Side 2, while sides 3 and 4 are on the second record. The record with Sides 1 and 6 is missing. (The three records had their playing sides in this order so they could be played continuously on a record player with an interchanger.)
Thanks to Fritz Fensham, Stuart Moore, Bill Hester and Steven Fant for information and scans.

This rare first issue two cassette set came in an outer card
box which had a flap which could be torn off and sent to Apple to obtain the
12" booklet that came with the 3LP set free of charge. It is very unusual to
find the box with the flap still present, because it means the original
purchaser did not bother to send for the booklet! Thanks to Steven Fant for information and scans. |

There was a single LP Japanese promo DJ release of this album, CBS/Sony Lite 91035, in a white sleeve with two black/white information stamps and an insert. Thanks to Bryan Waller for providing the following information from a Japanese auction web-site, as well as the pictures. Bryan's translation of the seller's information is: "A 1972 production, a charity concert held at George Harrison's appeal, on August 1, 1971, at New York's Madison Square Garden, was recorded. "The Concert for Bangla Desh" (LITE 91035) 14-song promotion LP (SPECIAL DJ COPY). It is the most important part of a 3-record set compiled in one. George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Leon Russell, Badfinger, Billy Preston, Ravi Shankar and others appear. "My Sweet Lord", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Here Comes the Sun", "Something", "Bangladesh", and others - 14 songs are included. The title and participating artists' names are stamped on the white cover."
The 1972 set had a silver obi with black, white and blue text and price „5,000 (scan of detail below, hard to read). The record matrix numbers of the copy shown were:
Side 1 - PB 55055 A1 1A6 STCX-1
Side 2 - PB 55055 B1 1A4 STCX-2
Side 3 - PB 55056 A1 1A5 STCX-3

Side 5 - PB 55057 A1 1A18 STCX-5
Side 6 - PB 55057 B1 1A1 STCX-6
The 1975 set had the same silver obi with black, white and blue text and price „6,300 (scan of detail below). The record matrix numbers of the copy shown were:

Side 5 - 63AP-1294 A1 STCX-5 1A5
Side 6 - 63AP-1294 B2 STCX-6 1A6
The three commercial sets were marketed by CBS/Sony in Japan but the records themselves have the UK Apple STX 3385 catalogue number. All three sets included the UK 64-page booklet plus an 8-page booklet in English and Japanese. The brown boxes are the same as the UK release with "TOKYO JAPAN" imprinted on the spine (see above).
Thanks to Wil Gielen, Sam Plessers and Marc Kuszel for information and scans.
George Harrison & Friends - "The Concert For Bangladesh" - 2LP set, Capitol/EMI SABB-12248 (USA), 1982:
 Capitol/EMI SABB-12248 (USA) - front photo by Arie de Reus |
Keith Venturoni explains: "Did you know that Capitol printed up a 2 LP set of the Concert for Bangladesh, in 1982? If you time out the 3 record set it runs around 94 minutes, so it would fit on 2 discs. However, they could never get all the legal mess set out with regard to money so it was never released. However, the story I read was that a record store had an order for 300 standing, and they would call from time to time inquiring on the status of the order. Most of the time they got the standard answer that the record was not released yet. One time they got a hold of a guy that noticed the records were in the warehouse, and sent the order out. The story is that Capitol then destroyed the rest. I've got a copy - the cover looks pretty much the same, it is just in the traditional 2 record set gatefold cover. One difference with regard to the Dylan material is that it is split between side 3 and 4 with one song on side 3 and the rest on 4, as opposed to all being on one side with the 3 record set." Thanks to Arie de Reus for the photos of his sealed copies. His copies are both marked to show they're not to be sold - the first example is cut and the second example has a hole punched through the sleeve. |

 Epic CDKNIC 048 (South Africa) - CD2 scan by Bill Hester (includes Bob's set) |
The 2 CD release in 1991 was on Sony's Epic label but there was a later release on Apple (Capitol in the USA), CDP 7 93265 2, reportedly in much better quality! Harold Lepidus informs me the final cassette version (see below, but now unavailable) was on Columbia, as part of a royalties deal between Capitol and Columbia. Apparently a similar deal between Columbia and Warner Bros also allowed Simon and Garfunkel tracks to appear on the Warner Bros Paul Simon boxed set in exchange for Warner Bros artists being allowed to appear on the Columbia Dylan 30th Anniversary Celebration album!
Thanks to Jack from Canada for the scan of the US Apple release sticker.
Surprisingly a "reissue" of the 2CD Epic set 468835 2 (as above) was released in New Zealand (although manufactured in Austria) in early 2002. It appears to be identical in every way with the 1991 release shown here. Thanks to Bill Hester for this information. Thanks also to Bill for scans of the South African release, which has a 36-page booklet and was marketed in South Africa by Gallo Record Company. The CDs were also manufactured in South Africa.
The remastered version with a bonus track that was being planned by George Harrison was expected to be released on Parlophone in the UK and Capitol in the USA in late 2002, but did not appear until Sep 2005 - see 2005. (That release warrants a separate entry as it has new material.)

 CBS SCC 632 (Angola) - detail of B-side, scan by Manuel Garcia Jara |
R-0475 Lay, Lady, Lay - 3:09 edit of album version (3:18)
This incredibly rare single, probably the rarest Bob Dylan single of all, was made for CBS by Valentin de Carvalho CI-SARL of Luanda, Angola, and dates from when Angola was a Portuguese colony. It is the only known Dylan release in this country. This is because there was only one pressing plant in the country and almost all records were imported from Portugal. Only Portuguese citizens in Angola could afford to buy records at that time! The record has regular orange CBS labels with two logos. Unusually the labels are each in four segments pasted on to the vinyl. There is a red stamp on the rear sleeve from a record shop in Lobito, a town in Angola. Apparently only 20-30 copies were pressed and sent to radio stations, but a few copies such as this one reached record shops. Both tracks are in very poor quality - Lay, Lady, Lay fades out at 3:09 after Bob stops singing (the album version is 3:18). The single originally came with a typewritten insert in Portuguese promoting Simon & Garfunkel's Greatest Hits album and Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. 2 and mentioning that both tracks were produced by Bob Johnston (who isn't mentioned on the record labels or sleeve).
Thanks to Manuel Garcia Jara for information and scans. As far as I can see, no Simon & Garfunkel discography web-site lists this single!
Various Artists - "Broadside Ballads Vol. 6: Broadside
Reunion" - mono vinyl LP, Folkways F-05315/also FR 5315 (USA), released 1972,
recordings 1962/63:
Bob appears again as "Blind Boy Grunt" on this retrospective album
with four previously unreleased performances from the 1960s. I previously had it
listed as being released in Nov 1971, but both the sleeve and the record labels
date the album as 1972. For
the first Broadside album with Bob as "Blind Boy Grunt", see
1963.

, from "The Broadside Show" radio
broadcast, WBAI-FM, New York, May 1962
This performance was included on a US Democracy Now radio broadcast CD-R,
see 2005. It is a different performance from Witmark

Publishers Sampler, see 1967.
R-0083 The Ballad Of Donald White - lyrics on bobdylan.com
from "The Broadside Show" radio
broadcast, WBAI-FM, New York, May 1962, now also on the Smithsonian Folkways
boxed set The Best Of Broadside 1962-1988, see 2000
In addition to the blue and orange covers shown, Alan Hoaksey reports his copy of Broadside Reunion has a green cover - the explanation for the cover colour variations is given in the note to Broadside Ballads Vol. 1, see 1963.
This Broadside album is now available by mail order from
Smithsonian Folkways
All tracks are reportedly remastered and a
vast improvement over the original album. However, they can only supply CD-R
copies of the original albums. Thanks to Jack from Canada and Andrew Wellman for scans of the CD-R
releases. The CD-Rs were originally housed in a
Folkways slipcase as shown (the same for each title), and came with photocopies of the
original artwork. Now they come in generic gatefold thick card sleeves with the
original artwork on a sticker on the front and overlapping half the back. Thanks
to Andrew Wellman for scans of the latest release.
Thanks to Jean-Pol Heirnaux for finding a Smithsonian cassette version on eBay. It comes in a black plastic case with the booklet folded in four inside. Jean-Pol also informs me that much of the Broadside/Folkways music is now downloadable from the Smithsonian Folkways site. However, none of the tracks by Blind Boy Grunt are included. Thanks to David Plentus for information that the entire album is now available for download for US residents only from amazon.com (you can download just the Dylan tracks if you prefer).
"Bob Dylan Con The Band [Bob Dylan With The Band]" - 7" stereo EP (withdrawn) and stereo single, CBS 9131 (Spain), 1972:
 CBS 9131 (Spain) - front of released single sleeve, scan by Hans Seegers |
Thanks to Juan B. Heinink for the information via Roger Ford about this EP and single, and to Hans Seegers for much additional information and scans. Juan says this was originally intended to be an EP given away with the first Spanish edition of Blonde On Blonde, with Positively 4th Street and Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window (never before released in Spain) and the live B-side version of Just Like Tom Thumbs Blues from Liverpool, 1966 (R-0054, see below). However the EP was never issued, although a few sleeveless copies left the factory and circulate amongst collectors. Instead a single was released with the same catalogue number (by mistake) and a unique but misleading fold-out picture sleeve, with one song per side. The title of the single is misleading, because The Band do not play on Positively 4th Street. |

I mistakenly reported the second track as R-0513, the stereo version of this track. but Juan says the mono version was used by mistake so that both right and left stereo channels are the same. Because the single is badly pressed there is distortion between the tracks which was mistaken for stereo by early reporters. Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window? was pressed with a stereo matrix made from a mono magnetic tape (that is to say, it had two sound ways, but with identical information in both), and if there was occasionally a certain stereo feel it was due to an uneven reading of the needles." The performance available on Masterpieces (1978) and Biograph (1985, remastered CD reissue 1997) and the 2001 Essential Bob Dylan/Ultimate Bob Dylan compilations is from the original single and still in mono! This means the only occurrence of the stereo mix is a Columbia US stereo acetate, see 1965.
B-side: Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues (live)
This was intended to be Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues live at Liverpool with the
Hawks, May 1966, B-side of mono I Want You US 7" single, (R-0054
from the B-side of the mono 7" Columbia/CBS singles of I Want You, see 1966)
This live version, never released on a regular Columbia album, is also on
the Japanese promo LP Mr. D's Collection #1 (see
1974), the Japanese
promo EP Mr. D's Collection #2 (see
1976), the 1978 Australian set Masterpieces
(see 1978),
the Japanese Mr. D's Collection #3
promo CD (see 1993),
the Japanese Dylan Ga Rock
promo 2CD set (see 1993
and 2010) and the
Capitol/EMI boxed set The Band: A Musical History (see
2005). All versions are as far as I know
still in mono as originally recorded.
Sadly, because of a second error, the B-side actually contains the studio version of It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry from Highway 61 Revisited!
The contents of the single were:
A-side: Positively 4th Street; B-side: Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window? (mispressed mono version as above)

the "VSD" low number series until 1970. Gil Walker also has the US LP set,

R-0022-6 Blowin' In The Wind
- recorded live by "Bob Dylan (and Friends)" at the
Newport Folk Festival, Newport, RI, 26 Jul 1963, originally released on the 1964 Vanguard album The Newport Folk Festival - 1963: The Evening Concerts Vol. 1,
see 1964 (stereo version)
Rob Carson tells me this is a different mix from the 1964 version -
confirmation? If so, it could be the same as R-0818 released in 2007 on
the US Columbia/Legacy DVD The Other Side Of The
Mirror: Bob Dylan Live At The Newport Folk Festival
1963-1965, see VHS
& DVD 2000s Part 4. This makes Bob's vocals more prominent than
on the 1964 release.
Hans Seegers has a 1972 Spanish release of this album, entitled Los Mas Grandes Cantantes Folkoricos Americanos De Los Ańos Sesenta (Hispavox HVAS 471-22), presumably released under licence from Vanguard. More information and scans required! More details also required of the Japanese Vanguard release shown left.
Kenneth Robson's UK 2LP set was released by RCA, Vanguard records no longer
being released in the UK under the Fontana (Philips) label as they were in the
1960s. Bill Hester's New Zealand 2LP release was manufactured by Pye Records of
Auckland, New Zealand, on behalf of Vanguard. (Like Fontana, Pye was part of the Philips
group). The rear of the sleeve is in monochrome.
The records are both numbered VSD 17/18 instead of VSD 17 and VSD 18, with the
sides numbered 1 to 4. Note the picture on the inside of the gatefold sleeve is
of Newport Elk Lodge #104, whose web-site today is here
. The red and yellow circle on the front
of the New Zealand release appears to have been drawn in marker pens where a
sticker was attached.
Thanks to Hans Seegers, Tracy Zank, Mahmooud Sadrai, Wim van der Mark, Kenneth Robson, Moise Potie, Bill Hester and Stuart Moore for information and scans.

- Bob plays harmonica, recorded Oct 1971 Bob was not credited on the sleeve of this album, but the liner notes to the 1998 Columbia Legacy compilation CD The Player: A Retrospective, on which this track also appears in a remastered/remixed version, state "Bob Dylan (harmonica)", see 1998.

1972; Highlights: Warner Bros W 66051 (USA), 1972:
Bob's songs were recorded live with The Band, Carnegie Hall, New York, 20 Jan 1968
(afternoon and evening shows) at a concert to benefit the US Committee to Combat
Huntington's Disease. The third concert was at the Hollywood Bowl on 12 Sep 1970 when Bob was not
present. The original record release was on two separate LPs on different record
labels -
R-0064 to R-0066 were on Part One (Columbia), R-0067 and R-0068 were on Part Two
(Warner Bros). The order of the songs on the LPs is not chronological
with Carnegie Hall on Part One and Hollywood Bowl on Part Two - the three shows
have been edited into a "complete performance" so that performances
from each appear on each album. Even though Bob is not credited on the Part Two
sleeve, best information (such as Glen Dundas' "Tangled Up In Tapes")
is that he does appear on the ensemble songs.

R-0067 This Train Is

Arlo Guthrie and ensemble, evening show
I misreported this song before - it is truncated on both the original album and the
1989 single CD release,
with only the Arlo
Guthrie introduction to the song (Side 1 track 1). Bob and The Band are accompanying Arlo but the
actual song with their vocal contributions is omitted.
Part Two contains:
R-0068 This Land Is

- Bob and The Band with ensemble, afternoon show
(All songs by Woody Guthrie.)
The Highlights album shown contained R-0064 to R-0066 only. R-0064 and R-0066 are now part of the 42 rarities included for download with the Aug 2006 Apple iTunes Bob Dylan Collection, see Online Performances (Other). CBS/Sony in Japan released Part One twice, first in early 1974 with a red obi with price „2,000 and secondly in late 1974/early 1975 with a silver obi with price „2,200. Both releases have a card inner sleeve and a four-page insert in English and Japanese. The promo copy shown is from 1974 and has black/white CBS/Sony promo labels, the commercial copy shown is the second release and has orange/cream CBS/Sony labels (the first release commercial labels were the same).

Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. Hans adds "In the early 70's Columbia set up an experimental programme called "Playback". For the first time in their recording history they were going to ask their consumers to help them select what sounds and which records were worth pursuing and promoting. For $3.00 consumers could join this programme and would receive at least ten 7-inch, 33 rpm samplers a year containing unreleased or just-released songs. After listening to each sampler they were to let Columbia know what music turned them on or off. The samplers came together with newsletters featuring articles written by and about producers and recording artists. Only one EP containing a track by Bob Dylan was released in this series and came with the 'Playback' standard sleeve."

Spivey on CD for the first time, for more details, see here
. This page incorrectly claims the
Spivey session in Mar 1962 was Bob Dylan's first commercial recording - his
first was actually the Carolyn Hester sessions in Sep 1961, followed by the
Harry Belafonte sessions in Feb 1962 (for both see
1962). The CD release was expected on 1 Apr 2007.
Steve Goodman - "Election Year Rag"/"Somebody
Else's Troubles" - 7" promo and commercial singles, Buddah Records
BDA-326 (USA/UK), Oct 1972
Bob took part in the Steve Goodman Somebody Else's Troubles sessions
at Atlantic Recording Studio, New York, in mid-Sep 1972. These singles
copyrighted 1972 predate the release of the album in 1973.
Two singles with the catalogue number BDA-326 are shown here - the first has
Election Year Rag on both sides in stereo and mono,
the second has the stereo version of Election Year Rag
on the A-side and Somebody Else's Troubles on the
B-side. Election Year Rag was not included on the
1973 album, and first appeared on album on The
Essential Steve Goodman Buddah Records US 2LP compilation, 1976.
It was presumably released as an A-side to coincide with the 1972 US
Presidential election, but then dropped from the 1973 album because it was no
longer topical!

Hans Seegers points out the centre spindles were plastic and could be bought separately to fit into any "jukebox" style record, so this is not actually a variant release. The colour difference is almost certainly due to the lighting in the photograph. Thanks to Larry Crum for the information that the commercial single BDA 326 is in mono, only the promo single had the stereo version R-0111.

Lars M. Banke writes: "I have a Canadian promo flexi-disc/picture cardboard disc - issued by Columbia Special Products in Ontario, Canada - which includes a fragment of a Dylan track plus 8 other fragments of other artists“ tracks. Listeners are invited to identify the 9 artists and take part in a contest which closes November 30th, 1972. Fifty winners will be drawn and each will win a Columbia LP of the winners choice. The purpose of the disc is - as far as I understand the liner notes - to promote the use of Columbia Auravision products in advertising and marketing campaigns etc.
Unfortunately I cannot tell you the title of the Dylan track as my copy is unused. In order to play the disc you have to push out the centre hole which isn't done on my copy. I hope that it will be possible to identify the track without doing this!"

The New Zealand 1972 LP was made in New Zealand by His Master's Voice (N.Z.) Ltd. (a branch of EMI) for Atlantic. On the sleeve the manufacturer is EMI (New Zealand) Limited. The album was re-released on both vinyl and CD by Edsel in the UK in 1985 - information from Peter Gilmer. Ronald Born has a 1990s copy of Edsel ED CD 154 which was made in France but has the same front and rear as shown. It was released on CD in Japan as Atlantic AMCY-46 around 1997, and this CD not only retains the original album art but is reportedly an excellent remastering - information from Rob van Estrik. The Japanese release has a white obi with red text and price „2,348 („2,280 excluding tax). There are no dates on the obi, so the date of 1997 is an estimate. The album was released on CD in the USA by Collector's Choice Music in 2006 and was re-released on 31 Oct 2008.

R-0090M-2 (Is Anybody Going To) San Antone (Dave Kirby-Glen Martin) - Bob plays guitar, organ and shares vocals with Doug Sahm (mono version)
The B-side of the UK promo and all commercial singles, Don't Turn Around, does not include Bob. The 1973 UK promo and commercial singles came in generic Atlantic sleeves.
The US promo single has (Is Anybody Going To) San Antone on both sides in mono and stereo and comes in two variants. The picture of the mono side (R-0090M) of the first variant is from the booklet with the 2003 Rhino Handmade 2CD compilation The Genuine Texas Groover, see 2003. This variant of the single has "PLUG SIDE " on the A-side as well as "VOCALS DOUG SAHM & BOB DYLAN" under the song title. Hans Seeger's US promo copy is from a different Atlantic pressing plant with a variant label design - changes include the title on two lines, "MONO" on the left instead of the right, and the text "PLUG SIDE" is missing. The stereo side (R-0090, as on the albums) has the same label design but is in plain blue instead of red/white. I don't have a picture of the stereo side of the first variant.
The picture of the rear sleeve of the West German Philips single is behind the CD tray in the digipak of the CD version of Doug Sahm & Band from The Genuine Texas Groover!
