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 1976 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!

Various Artists - untitled compilation EP, Express Songs EXP.160 (Thailand), 1976:
 Express Songs EXP.160 (Thailand) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
This stereo EP was legal in Thailand at the time of release, but there
is no association with Columbia. These Thai releases are extremely rare
and sell for very high prices. This EP contains two rarities, Part I and Part II of Hurricane, so full details can be found in 1975-76 Hurricane Singles. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scan. |
Various Artists - "Mais 4 Hits Internacionais" - stereo EP, CBS 56487 (Brazil), 1976:
 CBS 56487 (Brazil) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
Bob's contribution to this stereo/mono EP is Part I of Hurricane
(unbleeped version). Because this is a rarity the main entry for this EP is
in
1975-76 Hurricane Singles. The other artists on the EP are Janis Ian, The Isley Brothers
and The Manhattans. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scan. |
"Mozambique" - stereo/mono 7" promo single, Columbia 3-10298 (USA), 17 Feb 1976:
 Columbia 3-10298 (USA) - A-side scan by Hans Seegers |
This unique promo single had a mono version of this track from Desire on the B-side, see 1976. This will have been a mono reduction from stereo, since no mono version of the Desire album was released. For promo and commercial 7" singles of Mozambique with Oh Sister on the B-side, see below. As far as I'm aware there was no US commercial single release. For US stereo singles with this A-side, also see below. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scan. |
"Mozambique"/"Oh, Sister" - 7" promo and commercial stereo singles, CBS
4113 (UK/West Germany/Italy/Spain/Portugal), Jan 1976:
Both these songs are the album versions from Desire.

The Spanish single shown translated Oh, Sister as "Oh, Hermana" on the label. Nol Grint has a copy of this in a generic CBS Spain orange/white patterned sleeve printed in Madrid in 1976 with text "El Sonido de los 70s" - however, this sleeve comes from earlier in the 1970s and does not belong with the single, see 7" Single Sleeves. I believe the UK single did not have a picture sleeve, scans required of sleeves and labels of other singles. Thanks to Francisco Lima for information about the Portuguese release, CBS 4113.
The Portuguese single has two variant sleeve designs and three variant label designs. The labels have minor differences in text placement that are too small to show in scans. There is also a mispressing that is correctly labelled but plays Mozambique on both sides.
For details of a 1976 US promo 7" single with a mono version of Mozambique, see Mono 7" Singles & EPs 1970-76.
Thanks to Raoul Verolleman, David Burgess, Nol Grint and Kenneth Robson for information, and to Hans Seegers, Sam C. Visser and Ronald Born for the scans.

"Lay, Lady, Lay"/"I Threw It All Away" - 7" stereo single in "Hall Of Fame" series, CBS 3945 (UK), Feb 1976; CBS 7071 (UK), 1979/CBS A4595 (UK), 1984:
 CBS 3945 (UK) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
This single has the regular album tracks in stereo. Only the first release came with the picture sleeve shown - later releases had either generic "Hall Of Fame" sleeves or generic CBS sleeves. For a 1973 US stereo mono single with these tracks and for locations of other "Hall Of Fame" singles: those containing rarities, those in mono, and those in stereo, see "Hall Of Fame". The copy owned by Kenneth Robson has catalogue number "S CBS 3945" and comes in a generic CBS sleeve. It has orange/yellow labels in the CBS "Hall Of Fame Hits" series. The matrix number of the A-side is "CBS S 3945 A1", but it also has "CBS 4434 A" which is the catalogue number of the original mono single backed by Peggy Day (see Mono Singles & EPs 1969). This Hall Of Fame single was also released again in the UK with the new catalogue number of CBS 7071 in 1979 as part of the "Golden Decade" series - scans of picture sleeve/labels required! |
