Audio: International 7" & 12" Stereo Singles & EPs 1975

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 1975 that 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 released exclusively for promotional purposes are now listed 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.

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!

"The Times They Are A-Changin'"/"Honey Just Allow Me Once More Chance" - 7" stereo single, CBS 201751 (UK), 1970s:

CBS 201751 (UK, stereo) - A-side scan by Hans Seegers (first copy)

This single was originally released with the same catalogue number in Mar 1965 in mono, see Mono 7" Singles & EPs 1965. It was re-released in 1974, still in mono. This version has "STEREO" printed on the label. I don't have a definite date for this single, but Hans Seegers says this style of label without an "LC" capsule was used up to 1979, so that would place it between 1975 and 1979.

Two copies with holes punched through the labels are also illustrated. The original 1965 and the 1974 mono singles are shown for comparison.

Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans.
