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 1971 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!

"Lay, Lady, Lay" - 7" stereo EP, CBS 20287 (Bolivia), 1971:
The record was manufactured and distributed in Bolivia by Industrias Fonoelectricas "Lyra" on behalf of CBS. It has 1960s-style plain orange labels with a unique CBS/Columbia logo. All tracks are the regular stereo versions from Nashville Skyline.
For a 1979 Bolivian 7" single, see International 7" & 12" Singles 1979.
Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. Thanks also to Hans-Juergen Zollerg, who has a virtually identical copy with similar blue writing on the front.

 CBS 7092 (West Germany) - promo front scan by Hans Seegers |
The German promo sleeve illustrated below left is a demonstration copy with a stamp in German "Unverkäufliches Muster [Sample Not for Sale]" (across Bob's cheek like a scar!). Hans Seegers has a copy of the Dutch single, the first stereo Dylan single in Holland, with a misprinted A-side label showing the track as Sing, Baby, Sing by Titanic! It plays correctly. |

"Otra Mañana [New Morning]"/"Si No Fuera Por Ti [If Not For You]" - 7" stereo single, CBS 7092 (Spain), 26 Mar 1971:
 CBS 7092 (Spain) - front scan by Hans Seegers (both variants) |
On the Spanish single New Morning is the A-side. The titles are translated as "Otra Mañana [Another Morning]" and "Si No Fuera Por Ti". On the Venezuelan single below New Morning is translated as the more expected "Nueva Mañana". There are two record label variants on the B-side - the more rare first variant gives the English song title incorrectly as "It not for you", the more common second variant has it correctly as "If not for you". Thanks to Francisco Lima for information and to Hans Seegers and Manuel Garcia Jara for further information and scans. |

"Wallflower" - 7" double-sided 10" acetate, Columbia CO 111696 (USA), Nov 1971:
 Columbia CO 111696 (USA) - label scan by Wim van der Mark |
This promo acetate has the same track on both sides - the song was recorded at the Blue Rock Recording Studio in New York in Nov 1971 at the same time as the tracks for Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II but never released at the time. It eventually appeared on The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3 in 1991. For a second recording of this song (R-0088) with Doug Sahm and his band, see 1972. Information from Hans Seegers and Wim van der Mark. |

CBS/Sony CBSA 82132 (Japan) - front scan by Hans Seegers |

|
|
 CBS/Sony CBSA 82132 (Japan) - B-side scan by Hans Seegers |
Both tracks are from Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II. This single has a gatefold picture insert with lyrics (in both the promo and commercial versions). I had this previously listed as a rarity, but Larry Crum points out that the version on Greatest Hits Vol. II does not fade in after the applause for Tomorrow Is A Long Time, but just starts with no pause - there is actually no overlap. This A-side is therefore identical to the album version.
Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans.
