This is part of a separate multi-year 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 1973 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! (As far as I know, no 12" singles were released in this time period.) 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. I would also like to include cassette singles here, but I don't have any, and none have been notified to me so far (I don't think any belong to this time period).
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!

 CBS S 5122 (Denmark) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
Denmark had a mono release of Wigwam in 1970 (see Mono 7" Singles & EPs 1970-76) and this stereo reissue in 1973. This was imported into Denmark from Holland, with a Danish sleeve and was intended for school radio only. Sweden had no 1970 release, but did have a 1973 stereo release, again imported from Holland with a Swedish cover. Manuel Garcia Jara's Swedish promo copy has a green promotional stamp on the rear sleeve at top right, and the same stamp on the A-side label of the record. The promo record has a different text layout to right of the centre hole from the commercial single with the intro and total playing times in a much larger type face. |

Lars M. Banke adds re the cover of the Danish single: "The text means "The theme from TV's "Focus"". The story behind the single is that "Wigwam" was used as the signature tune or theme for a programme titled "Focus" broadcast by the Danish national television channel. And as there was only one national Danish channel when the single was released, there was no need to mention which channel on the sleeve - just "TV"."
Thanks to Hans Seegers and Manuel Garcia Jara for information and scans.

Columbia 4-45913 (USA) - stereo side of promo mono/stereo single, scan by Hans Seegers |
The mono/stereo white label promo single of Columbia 4-45913 contains a rarity on the mono side, for full details, see 1973. The second white label promo has the same tracks as the commercial single with "DJ RESERVICE" above "STEREO" to the left of the centre hole. Nol Grint has a copy of this with the B-side label on both sides! The record plays correctly. There is also a second variant with misprinted labels with the B-side label replaced by the A-side label of a single by Tanya Tucker called The Missing Piece Of Puzzle. This record was made available for juke box use with three different strips: the first design is orange/black with a shaded background and the text "HIT" and "POP" on the centre line. The second shaded version omits the text and is in red/black, while the third is also in red/black with a white background. For international commercial and promo stereo releases, see below. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. |

 CBS 1762 (Spain) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
Thanks to Francisco
Lima for information about the Spanish release, CBS 1762. The titles are
translated as "Llamando A La Puerta Del Cielo" and "La Caza
Del Pavo". The record of the Swedish release CBS 1762 was made in Sweden but it used the Dutch sleeve shown above. The Swedish single occurs with both push-out and open centres as the Dutch single does. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. |

"Knockin' On Heaven's Door"/"Turkey Chase" - 7" promo and commercial stereo singles, S CBS 1762 (UK), 14 Sep 1973:
 S CBS 1762 (UK) - promo A-side scan by Hans Seegers (push-out centre) |
The UK stereo promo had white labels with the release date of "14th Sept, 1973", and the commercial single had orange CBS labels - neither had a picture sleeve. Please note that the black plastic clip shown in the scan by Kenneth Robson is not an official CBS accessory. These clips were sold in record shops so that ex-jukebox records that had had their push-out centres removed could be played on standard turntables, especially automatic turntables that could play multiple singles or LPs (as an alternative to the plastic rings that could be placed on the turntable spindle in order to play ex-jukebox records). |

"Knockin' On Heaven's Door"/"Turkey Chase" - 7" single,
CBS 1762 (France/Italy/Yugoslavia), Sep 1973:
These two songs were the regular album versions from Pat Garrett &
Billy The Kid.
 CBS 1762 (France) - front scan by Nol Grint |
The Italian and Yugoslavian single have unique picture sleeves taken from the film of Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid. Suzy Records of Zagreb (now in Croatia) was a subsidiary of CBS Records. The record had orange CBS labels originally, but was re-released in the 1980s with the new design orange/yellow CBS labels. Manuel Garcia Jara has a promotional copy of the Italian release of CBS 1762 - it has the orange commercial CBS labels with "DISCO CAMPIONE NON VENDIBILE [SAMPLE DISC NOT FOR SALE]" stamped on the B-side. For a mono Italian 7" jukebox single with a non-Dylan B-side, see Mono 7" Singles & EPs 1970-76. Thanks to Nol Grint, Ronald Born, Hans Seegers and Manuel Garcia Jara for information and scans. |
