This is part of a list by release date of international (now including the USA, which was once listed separately) promo and commercially-released stereo 7" and 12" singles and EPs for 1970 that have been referred to me but do not qualify for my Searching For A Gem list because they contain only performances which are available on officially released Dylan albums. Nevertheless, their interest value or scarcity means they're worth listing here - as far as I know many are not included on any other Internet site. Special thanks to Hans Seegers for many of these items! Stereo promo versions of commercially released singles that were formerly listed in the Promotional Items sections of the yearly pages are now listed here. Singles from this period released exclusively for promotional purposes are now here also.
This page is still incomplete. 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!

"Wigwam"/"Copper Kettle (The Pale Moonlight)" - 7" stereo promo singles, Columbia 4-45199 (USA), 6 Jul 1970:
 Columbia 4-45199 (USA) - A-side of first release of promo single (first variant), scan by Hans Seegers |
This was the first commercial US stereo single. For mono singles with Wigwam and Copper Kettle, see Mono 7" Singles & EPs 1970-76. Both songs are from Self-Portrait. Copper Kettle is titled Copper Kettle (The Pale Moonlight). There were two releases of this promo single, with two label designs. The first design (red-orange) has two variants and the second design (blue/yellow) has three variants (the second of which is dated "July 6, 1970"). For three variants of the US commercial stereo single, see below. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. |

"Wigwam"/"Copper Kettle (The Pale Moonlight)" - 7" stereo single, Columbia 4-45199 (USA), 13 Jul 1970:
 Columbia 4-45199 (USA) - first edition A-side scan by Hans Seegers |
This commercial single was issued in two label designs. The second design has two variants with significantly different text sizes of both "BOB DYLAN" and the song titles. For mono singles with Wigwam and Copper Kettle, see Mono 7" Singles & EPs 1970-76. The single shown on the right (an example of the first variant of the second release) is interesting in that it is still in a special display shrink-wrap with a blue/white card backing with the track titles, artist and price (78¢). There is a hole at the top of the card for the single to be hung on a display rack in a store. The single itself is in a generic buff Columbia sleeve, folded at the top on both sides. Peter Stone Brown thinks this would have been for a supermarket rather than a specialist record store, who did not normally use this type of packaging or display for 7" singles. Thanks to Hans Seegers and David Plentus for information and scans. |

"Wigwam"/"Copper Kettle (The Pale Moonlight)"
- 7" stereo singles, Columbia 4-45199 (Canada/Jamaica/India),
Jul 1970:
Wigwam was confusingly issued in stereo in some countries and mono in
others! The USA and Canada also had the single in stereo. For the US single, see
above. Before this 7" singles had been
only issued in stereo in Japan and in the USA as promo only. For mono Wigwam
singles, see Mono 7" Singles & EPs 1970-76.
 Columbia 4-45199 (Canada) - A-side scan by Hans Seegers |
The Canadian single is interesting in that it was first released with a misprint
on the B-side - the Columbia logo on the right is reversed. It was re-released
with a corrected logo. Both are shown on the right. The Jamaican single is one of the very few Dylan singles released directly in Jamaica (rather than being imported from the USA). It was manufactured in the USA and distributed by Record Specialists Ltd., Kingston, Jamaica, whose name appears at the top underneath the Columbia logo. It was released three times, with orange labels, red labels and yellow labels. |

The very rare Indian single is from CBS Records but has the US catalogue number. It has a unique black label with silver text. It was distributed in India by Symphony Salon of Bombay on behalf of CBS, and came in the purple/white sleeve shown above right with the CBS and stereo logos. For 1969 Indian singles of Lay, Lady, Lay and Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You with the same label style, see Mono 7" Singles & EPs 1969 (the singles are actually on separate sub-pages). This label style was also used for the very rare Indian release of George Jackson, see 1971.

This single was also exported to Denmark and Sweden. It came with a
folded sleeve which was plain on the reverse. The record has orange CBS labels with a push-out UK-style centre. On the B-side Copper Kettle is just titled "Copper Kettle", "(The Pale Moonlight)" is missing, and is wrongly credited as "Traditional". |

CBS S 5122 7" single (Ireland):
 CBS S 5122 (Ireland) - A-side scan by Hans Seegers |
A rare single exclusive to Ireland! It has orange CBS labels with a push-out UK-style centre. The B-side is again mistitled "(That Pale Moonlight)". It is correctly credited to "A. F. Bleddoe". There was no picture sleeve. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. |

 CBS 5122 (West Germany for Austria) - A-side scan by Peter Denzler |
These mid-1970s stereo copies of this single
have "Austro Mechana" (the Austrian company for collecting copyright
royalties) instead of the German "GEMA" to the right of the centre hole.
The labels are in the CBS mid-1970s orange/yellow style. Peter Denzler's
copy was made in Germany and imported to Austria, but Hans Seeger's copy
was made in Austria itself. I've shown details from the B-side because the
scan is clearer. The 1970 West German release of this single was in mono,
see
Mono 7" Singles & EPs 1970-76. The sleeves for these singles are German, in orange with the slogan "Musik der Welt" (Music of the World). They also have the text "1963-73: 10 Jahre CBS Schallplatten Deutschland" (1963-73: 10 Years of CBS Records Germany). Thanks to Peter Denzler and Hans Seegers for information and scans. |

As far as I know, this is the only appearance of this song from Self Portrait on a 7" record. The B-side is Like A Rolling Stone, the live version from the 1969 Isle of Wight Festival, also from Self Portrait. This is also its only 7" appearance.
Three copies are shown: a test pressing with white labels, a promo copy with yellow CBS/Sony labels, and the commercial release with orange CBS/Sony labels. All three records have three-spoked centres. They come in generic CBS/Sony 7" sleeves with the folded inserts shown. Both the white label test pressing and the yellow label promo release have the red promo stamp on the front of the insert.

number RT 598.

A-side: Luna Azul [Blue Moon]; Bella Isla [Belle Isle] B-side: El Esquimal [Quinn The Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn)]; Olvide Mas De Lo Que Crees [I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know]. The record has orange CBS labels. The interesting point here is that only Record 2 of Self Portrait appears to have been released in Mexico, see International Albums (Regular). This means that Belle Isle and I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know, which are from Record 1, were apparently otherwise unreleased in Mexico. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. |
