R-0099-4 A Fool Such As I (Bill Trader) - stereo album version

R-0099M A Fool Such As I (Bill Trader) - mono version not available on 1973 Dylan album, see 1973 (this is presumably a mono reduction of the stereo source)

This release wrongly credits A Fool Such As I to Buford Abner. See the note about writer credits in 1973 and here. For the US commercial singles, see below.

Label variants are:

• Publishing credits spread over five lines, "NOT FOR" on sixth line, "SALE" on seventh line
• Publishing credits spread over five lines, "NOT" on sixth line, "FOR SALE" on seventh line
• Publishing credits spread over four lines, "NOT" on sixth line, "FOR SALE" on seventh line

The publishing details are of course incorrect! Also, the type face used is different on the second and third variants.

Thanks to Ole Lien for the initial information and Hans Seegers for the scans of all the variants.

R-0097-3 Lily Of The West (Traditional, arranged E. Davies/J. Peterson) - New Morning out-take, recorded Columbia Studios, New York, 3 Jun 1970

The US and Canadian releases of the single had no picture sleeve. For a test pressing of the US single, see above.

There are three variants of the US single with the same type face changes as the promo singles above. The first two variants have A Fool Such As I wrongly credited to "B. Abner", the third has been corrected and has the song correctly credited to "B. Trader". Also shown is a copy of the first variant that has "DEMONSTRATION NOT FOR SALE" stamped on the A-side, and two jukebox strips, one using a pink "HIT POP" strip, the other white.

The 1974 Canadian release of Columbia 4-45982 has orange/yellow labels and credited the A-side correctly. A promo version of this single was released using the commercial copy with a promo stamp on the A-side.

The 1974 Mexican single CBS 7238 has orange CBS labels and the titles translated as "Un Tonto Como Yo" and "Flor Del Oeste". R-0099 is incorrectly credited to "B. Abner". A promo version of this single was released using the commercial copy with a promo stamp on the B-side.

Thanks to Hans Seegers for all the information about these singles and the scans.

R-0097-4 Lily Of The West (Traditional, arranged E. Davies/J. Peterson) - New Morning out-take, recorded Columbia Studios, New York, 3 Jun 1970

For the generic "CBS-Blitzinformation" rear sleeve of the West German promo single, see 7" Single Sleeves. The West German singles had R-0099 correctly credited to "B. Trader". However, the Dutch single has it wrongly credited to "B. Abner".

Hans Seegers informs me that for the Swedish release of CBS 2006, the record was made in Sweden but used the Dutch sleeve shown here. This record was unique in that R-0097 was the A-side! Again it was wrongly credited to "B. Abner".

The Greek single CBS 301415 is very rare. Again R-0099 was wrongly credited to "B. Abner".

The Spanish single CBS 2006 has orange CBS labels and the titles translated as "Tan Tonto Como Yo" and "Lily Del Oeste" - compare these with the Mexican translations above! R-0099 was wrongly credited to "B. Abner".

The Portuguese single has a front sleeve with a very faint blue design - it is also shown with artificially high contrast to make it more prominent. R-0099 is credited to "C. Trader"!

The Yugoslavian single was released by Suzy Records on behalf of CBS. R-0099 was again wrongly credited to "B. Abner".

Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans.

R-0097-5 Lily Of The West (Traditional, arranged E. Davies/J. Peterson) - New Morning out-take, recorded Columbia Studios, New York, 3 Jun 1970

The Japanese single has a front picture by artist Nov Yabuki that previously appeared on a poster in the 1973 boxed set Eleven Years In The Life Of Bob Dylan, see 1973. The Japanese rear sleeve has sleeve notes in Japanese, and the lyrics of the A-side in English and Japanese. R-0099 is correctly credited to "B. Trader". This single was released as a promo with white CBS/Sony labels and commercially with orange CBS/Sony labels.

Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans.

R-0536-2 Knockin' On Heaven's Door - mono version of song from Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid soundtrack album on A-side
For a Columbia US promo 7" single with this mono version, see 1973.

R-0099M-2 A Fool Such As I (Bill Trader) - mono version not available on 1973 Dylan album on B-side
This single correctly credits the song to Bill Trader. The song length here is given incorrectly as 3:37 when it is really 2:38. 3:37 is actually the length of Lily Of The West, the B-side of the single shown above!

This single was re-released as Columbia 13-33259 in 1975, with three variants (all shown above):

1. With black sunburst, matrix numbers: A-side - T ZSS 157664 1F (stamped), B-side - ZSS 159122-1J (written).
2. Without black sunburst, rubber stamped "DEMONSTRATION - NOT FOR SALE", matrix numbers: A-side - ZSS 157664 1AA (stamped), B-side - ZSS 159122-1J (written).
3. Without black sunburst, matrix numbers: A-side - ZSS 157664 1AB (stamped), B-side - ZSS 159122-1K (written).

On the variants without the sunburst, the original release date ("July 31, 1973") is printed slightly lower below the white line.

It was later released twice in the 1980s, again under licence by Collectables Records in 1993, and again by Columbia in 1997, still mono. Information from Hans Seegers and Manfred Endtner. The 1974 Canadian release of Columbia 13-33259 has the red/black design without the sunburst. It was re-released in the late 1980s with unique Canadian light blue/lilac labels with text in English and French. The B-side is correctly credited to "B. Trader".

Thanks to Patrick Helfrich for the scans of the Collectables Re-Issue 7" single. This copy has matrix numbers: A-side - ZSS-157664-IAA, B-side: ZSS159122-1K.
