This page contains promotional and commercial releases of mono 7" singles and EPs with Dylan album tracks for 1970-76. These don't contain rare tracks, but they're included because it is no longer possible to buy mono versions of album tracks (for completeness, mono singles that did include rare tracks are now listed here, with their full entries on the yearly pages). There were no new Columbia mono singles after 1976, although there were some mono reissues of original 1960s singles, listed on the appropriate 1960s pages. Mono LPs have their own pages, see Mono Album Releases.
For illustrations of all the generic 7" single sleeves used by Bob's record companies from the 1960s onwards, see the 7" Single Sleeves page. (A single has much less value to a collector if it doesn't have its correct original sleeve.)
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" - 10" mono 45RPM acetate, Columbia Recording Studios, Nashville, TN, no number (USA), Jul 1970:
 Wigwam US acetate - A-side scan by Hans Seegers |
This acetate is very rare and unusual for two reasons: firstly it's 10"
instead of 8" (the normal acetate size); and secondly because it's in mono.
This was unusual because the promotional and commercial singles in the USA
and Canada were all stereo, although mono versions were released in other
countries. For
stereo US and international singles with Wigwam/Copper Kettle see
US & International 7" Singles & EPs
1970. For mono non-US singles with
Wigwam/Copper Kettle see below. For the Self Portrait mono LP, see
Mono
Album Releases. R-1091 Wigwam - mono version of Self Portrait track R-1092 Copper Kettle (Albert Frank Beddoe) - mono version of Self Portrait track |
 Wigwam US acetate - B-side scan by Hans Seegers |
These tracks could be reductions from stereo from the mono LP. However, Mark Easter informs me that Columbia mixed tracks from stereo-only albums in mono specially for singles up to 1970, so these mono tracks could be exclusive mixes for the non-US 7" single releases. They're also listed in 1970.
Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans.
"Wigwam"/"Copper Kettle (The Pale Moonlight)" - 7" mono
promo and commercial singles, CBS 5122
(Ireland/West Germany/France/Italy/Spain), 13 Jul 1970; CBS 5122 (NL), 14 Aug
1970; CBS 33675 (Brazil); CBS SSC 1074
(South Africa); CBS BA 221757 (Australia); CBS BA 461296 (New Zealand); CBS
15005 (Venezuela), Jul 1970:
This was actually Bob's best-selling single in Holland! Wigwam was
confusingly issued in mono in some countries and stereo in others - for the
stereo singles issued in both 1970 and 1973 see US & International 7"
Singles & EPs 1970. Thanks to Bill Hester for
information about the New Zealand release, CBS BA 461296. See above for a
comment about whether these tracks are mono reductions from stereo or mono mixes
exclusive to these 7" singles. They're also listed in
1970. For the Self Portrait mono LP, see
Mono
Album Releases. Larry Crum has a copy of the German CBS 5122 and
believes it be stereo, and also believes the Dutch CBS 5122 may be stereo also.
The French CBS 5122 is definitely mono. Confirmation required!
The UK release was CBS S 5122 and in stereo, so is listed in US & International 7" Singles & EPs 1970.
R-1091-2 Wigwam - mono version of Self Portrait track
R-1092-2 Copper Kettle (Albert
Frank Beddoe)
- mono version of Self Portrait track
(On some singles Copper Kettle is either uncredited or incorrectly credited to
"None" or "Traditional" instead of "Albert Frank Beddoe" - it is not
in fact a "genuine" folk song, but was written in 1953 for a
"folk opera" called "Go Lightly, Stranger".)
CBS 5122 7" commercial single (Ireland):
 CBS 5122 (Ireland) - A-side scan by Ronald Born |
This single had a generic orange/white CBS sleeve. It has the song on the B-side correctly credited but the title is shown incorrectly as "Copper Kettle (That Pale Moonlight). |

 CBS 5122 (West Germany) - detail of promo B-side, scan by Manuel García Jara (same as commercial variant 1C - correctly credited) |
These three promo copies come in the same promo "Blitzinformation" sleeve but the record inside is a regular commercial single in all cases. For the generic rear sleeve of these promo singles, see 7" Single Sleeves.
The first copy has "UNVERKÄUFLICH [NOT FOR SALE]" stamped on the A-side only. Copper Kettle on the B-side is uncredited (as commercial variant 1A). There are two copies with a different promo stamp with "Muster ohne Wert [Sample without Value]". On Ronald Born's copy this is upside-down. These too have Copper Kettle on the B-side uncredited. The third copy has a white promo sticker on the A-side with text "Unverkäufliche Musterplatte [Sample Record not for Sale]". Copper Kettle on the B-side is sub-titled "(The Pale Moonlight)" and correctly credited to "A. F. Beddoe" (as commercial variant 1C).
CBS 5122 7" commercial single (West Germany):
|
|
The commercial single was first released with the same writing credit mistake on the B-side as the first promo variant, then this was corrected but the title was misspelled as "COOPER KETTLE" - they got it right the third time! On the second and third variants the B-side title is sub-titled "The Pale Moonlight". |
|

Ronald Born has a copy of variant 1C in a promo "Blitzinformation" sleeve but without any promo indications on the record labels.
Ger Hemel has two copies of the German commercial single with "B. Dylan" without brackets below the song title on the A-side. This is the same as the German promo single shown above, so may be the first variant. One has B-side variant 1A with Copper Kettle uncredited and the other has B-side variant 1C with Copper Kettle correctly credited.
The West German label variant of CBS 5122 supplied by Peter Denzler has "BOB DYLAN" at the top of the label and the CBS logo on the left hand side! Copper Kettle is spelled and credited correctly. Peter says this single sounds as if it is in stereo, even though there is no stereo indication on the label. Peter also has a West German stereo copy with CBS mid-1970s labels, see US & International 7" Singles 1970.
CBS 5122 7" commercial single (France), re-released late 1970s/early 1980s:
|
CBS 5122 (France) - front scan by Hans Seegers (with languette on right) |
The sleeve of this single has an index tab or "languette", unique to France. For more information about languettes, see 1965. The record was released with four label designs, all in the same sleeve: two designs of regular orange paper labels, orange/brown injection "labels" and reddish injection "labels" (not shown), which I'd date from late 1970s/early 1980s. Jim Siddy has a copy of the single where the record has the first variant orange paper labels but "BOB DYLAN" and the song details are printed much lower down on the A-side. This is probably just a printing alignment difference. Copper Kettle is correctly credited to "A. F. Beddoe" on the sleeve but not on the Side B record labels. |

For an injection label a thin coloured plastic ring-shaped layer is injected into the record itself, and the text/graphics cut out using a stamp, there is no paper label.

There were two mono Italian jukebox singles with Wigwam - CBS YD 245 had 25 Or 6 To 4 by Chicago on the other side, CBS YD 248 had Hi-De-Ho by Blood, Sweat & Tears on the other side.
YD 245 was released in two variants: on variant 1 the title "Wigwam" is 13cm in length, on variant 2 the title is 18cm in a different typeface.
YD 248 was released in three variants - variant 1 had "SAPAR JUKE BOX VIETATA LA VENDITA [SALE FORBIDDEN]" on the right of the centre hole, while in variant 2 this was replaced by "JUKE BOX SERVICE JUKE BOX VIETATA LA VENDITA" and variant 3 has "J B R JUKE BOX VIETATA LA VENDITA". François Guillez's copy of the variant 3 YD 248 comes in a cut-out commercial sleeve, variant 1 below.
CBS 5122 7" commercial singles (Italy):
|
CBS 5122 (Italy) - front scan by Hans Seegers (both variants) |
The rear sleeve of this single has the catalogue number and song titles, plus pictures of six contemporary CBS LPs including Nashville Skyline. There are two rear sleeve variants with different printer names printed vertically at bottom right - the first has "Stampa reparto grafico C.G.D." and the second has "Rep. Grafico CBS-SUGAR"). The record has orange CBS labels. Copper Kettle is uncredited. There were also two record label variants, which as far as I know are not connected to the rear sleeve variants. The differences are to the right of the centre hole on both labels: the "R" in a small circle below the "SIAE" logo is missing, and "45" is positioned higher. Additionally Manuel's copy has a "SIAE" stamp on the A-side missing from the A-sides of both Hans and Ronald's copies (Ronald's A-side is not shown because it's exactly the same as Hans'). |

This single has the same sleeve as the Spanish stereo release of CBS 5122, with colour variation of the titles from dark blue to almost pink. The record labels differ from the stereo version of this single in not having "ESTEREO" to the right of the centre hole. Also, the B-side of the mono single always has 'CALDERA DE COBRE "Copper Kettle"' on one line, on the stereo single it can be on one line or two. The sleeve was printed by Offset ALG, Madrid. The mono single was made in Spain by Fonogram S.A. for Discos CBS, Madrid, as was the stereo single. Manuel García Jara has a copy from the first batch released that has the A- and B-side record labels swapped. This has been corrected with purple/white stickers with "WIGWAM" and "CALDERA DE COBRE".
CBS SSC 1074 7" commercial single (South Africa):
 CBS SSC 1074 (South Africa) - A-side scan by Hans Seegers (solid centre) |
This single has orange CBS labels and comes in a standard sleeve. The B-side is correctly credited to "A. F. Beddoe". Hans Seegers' copy has a solid centre, Manuel García Jara's copy has a push-out centre. |

CBS 5122 7" commercial singles (NL), 14 Aug 1970:
|
CBS 5122 (NL) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
I previously listed the release date of this single as 13 Jul 1970, the same as the other European release dates, but Tom Willems says the book "Hypnotist Collectors" by Jean-Louis Dréau and Robert Schlockoff (Média Presse, France, 1989) gives the release date as 14 Aug 1970. The single did not enter the Dutch charts until 29 Aug 1970. It remains Bob Dylan's biggest single hit in Holland! |

 CBS 5122 (NL) - A-side scan by Ger Hemel (push-out centre) |

The rear sleeve of this single is a generic one with no record details, just pictures of nine contemporary CBS LPs. This single exists in an interesting mislabelled version, with the A-side shown as Why Can't I Touch You by Ronny Dyson! The B-side is correctly credited to "A. F. Beddoe". Manuel's copy has a non-standard plastic insert in the open centre. Ger Hemel has a copy with a push-out centre. As stated above, this single may be in stereo. A definite stereo version with a completely different sleeve, CBS S 5122, was made in Holland for export to Denmark and Sweden in 1973, see US & International 7" Singles 1973. However, the 1973 release may not have been released in Holland itself.
CBS SSC 1074 7" commercial single (Rhodesia):
 CBS SSC 1074 (Rhodesia) - A-side scan by Manuel García Jara |
This Rhodesian single looks the same as the South African single above, but can be distinguished by it's unique triangular push-out centre. Like the South African single, it came in a strandard CBS sleeve. |

CBS BA 221757 7" commercial single (Australia):
 CBS BA 221757 (Australia) - A-side scan by Hans Seegers |
This record has orange CBS labels. The B-side is correctly titled and credited. Manuel García Jara has two copies with demo stamps on the B-side. The first has a very faint stamp with just "NOT FOR SALE SAMPLE RECORD", the second has a much clearer stamp with the same text plus four more lines in smaller print. This copy comes in a paper sleeve, not plastic as some Australian sleeves, in a dark pink colour, not orange. |

(Radio 9 July is a station in São Paolo.) Thanks to Alexandre Froemming for translating and explaining the red promo stamp! Manuel García Jara's commercial copy comes in the Discos CBS sleeve shown.

The promo single has “PROMOCIONAL [PROMOTIONAL]” printed, not stamped, and has different text to the left and right of the centre hole from the commercial single. Manuel García Jara's commercial single is the same as Hans’ but has the variable text offset to the left instead of being centred as on Hans' copy. The Self Portrait album was not released in Venezuela.

R-1091-3 Wigwam - mono version of Self Portrait
track These singles have orange CBS labels and play at 33⅓ RPM. Both tracks are mono reductions of the performances from Self Portrait and Nashville Skyline. For these mono albums, see Mono Album Releases. Lay, Lady, Lay was released worldwide as the A-side of a mono single, see Mono 7" Singles and EPs 1969. The promo copy shown of this single has "DISCO PARA DEMOSTRACION VENTA PROHIBIDA" [DEMONSTRATION DISC NOT FOR SALE] stamped on both sides. Manuel García Jara's commercial copy comes in a generic CBS sleeve with a printed price on the rear: "Precio I.V.A. $11,50.-" - (I.V.A. means "Impuesto al Valor Agregado [VAT - "Value Added Tax"], "$11,50.-" means 11.50 Argentinean Pesos (the dollar symbol was used in many countries).

The mono version again could be a reduction from stereo, not true mono - for the Self Portrait mono LP, see Mono Album Releases. As mentioned above, Mark Easter informs me that Columbia mixed tracks from stereo-only albums in mono specially for singles up to 1970, so this mono track could be an exclusive mix for a 7" single release.

"Watching The River Flow" - 7" mono/stereo promo singles, Columbia 4-45409
(USA), 3 Jun 1971:
Thanks to Éamonn Ó Catháin for information from the Steve Hoffman Forum that
the mono mix is different from the stereo mix, and not a reduction. Steve
Hoffman says:
"The
mono mix, as issued on the original Columbia 45 4-45409 (matrix number JZSP
155106) is tight, punchy with the drums pushed up a few db in the mix. Exciting,
until you compare it to the stereo mix and remember that, after all, it's a
Dylan song, not Leon Russell.
The mono mix obscures Dylan's voice, lowering it in the mix and rendering it
murky and slightly distorted.
The stereo mix (J76412/BC546045) is more dynamic, actually has better & more
delineated bass and even though the drums are a bit back in the mix, Dylan's
voice is lifelike, with an unmistakable "breath of human" sound."

"Watching The River Flow"/"Spanish Is The
Loving Tongue" - 7" mono promo and commercial singles,
Columbia 4-45409 (USA/Canada); CBS 7329 (Various European countries); CBS/Sony SCBSA
82116 (Japan), CBS BA-2218312 (Australia), Jun
1971:
Mono releases were very unusual for Japan, where stereo was introduced
far earlier than in other countries! For complete details of these singles and other international singles with this combination, see 1971.

R-0687 Watching The River Flow - mono version (stereo
version is not a rarity) R-0072M Spanish Is The Loving Tongue (Charles Badger Clark-Billy Simon) - solo version authorised by Bob, B-side of Watching The River Flow CBS/Sony Japanese 7" single, 1971 (mono - stereo version is R-0072) |
 CBS/Sony SCBSA 82116 (Japan) - front of insert, scan by Hans Seegers |
|
Even though New Zealand had a stereo single (with "STEREO" on the record labels), the Australian single CBS BA-221831 does not say "STEREO" on the labels and Larry Crum says he has a copy and both sides are definitely in mono.

"Rainy Day Women #12 & 35"/"Like A Rolling Stone"
- mono 7" single in "Hall Of
Fame" series, Columbia 4-33100 (USA), 1973; Columbia 13-33100 (USA), 1975 onwards:
For the location of all mono and stereo singles in the Columbia "Hall Of
Fame" series, see "Hall Of Fame". For US
and Canadian "Hall Of Fame" and Collectables 7" sleeves, see
7"
Single Sleeves. These singles were used for jukeboxes and are most
valuable with their pink jukebox strip - see below right for 13-33100. Both
tracks are the standard mono versions: Like A Rolling Stone from Columbia
4-43346 (Jun 1965), Rainy Day Women from Columbia 4-43592 (Mar 1966).
I originally had the first US release of this "Hall of Fame" single dated as 1973, but there is now some evidence that Columbia 4-33100 was first released in Oct 1966. If this release date is corroborated this page will be revised.

Columbia 13-33100 (USA), 1975 onwards:
Ger Hemel has a US copy with the black sunburst on the record labels. The record of this copy has stamped matrix numbers: A-side - ZSP110938 -1BA, B-side – ZSP 113564-2E. The record is the same as Kenneth Robson's copy except for the plastic centre clips. This record came in a Dutch "Oldies 45" sleeve. The rear sleeve has a list of other singles in this series - "EVENEENS VERKRIJGBAAR" means "ALSO AVAILABLE". There may be more of these Dylan US singles in Dutch sleeves, which were sold legally in Dutch record stores.
Francisco Lima has found the sleeve of a copy of Columbia 13-33100 exported to Belgium. This looks like a generic sleeve used by an importer with the artist and song titles rubber stamped.

"Lay, Lady, Lay"/"I Threw It All Away" - mono 7" single in "Hall Of Fame"
series, Columbia 4-33178 (USA), 1973; Columbia 13-33178 (USA), 1975 onwards:
I originally had the first release of this "Hall of Fame" single dated as
1973, but there is now evidence that Columbia 4-33178 was first released in
1970. This page will be revised if that is confirmed.
Columbia 4-33178 (USA), 1973:
 Columbia 4-33178 (USA) - A-side scan by Hans Seegers (1973 release, first variant) |
Both tracks are from Nashville Skyline. I had previously assumed this single was in stereo. However, Mark Easter informs me that it is definitely in mono, and that the mono mixes are not stereo reductions. Columbia mixed tracks from stereo-only albums in mono specially for singles up to 1970, so these tracks could be from the mono 7" single releases. |
|
|
|
Columbia 4-33178 was available in two label variants: one with the release dates just touching the white line above, and one with the release dates 5mm below the white line. The second also exists in a jukebox version with a pink jukebox strip similar to the one shown below for the 1997 release. All versions of the single had the text 'From the Columbia LP "NASHVILLE SKYLINE" - KCS 9825' under the song title on the A-side, even after that release had been deleted. KCS 9825 was the original US stereo release, see International Album Releases (Regular). These same two tracks had previously been released on a CBS Greece mono 7" single, see International Mono 7" Singles & EPs 1969. Jordan Preslar has a copy with the first label variant that has the labels reversed, the side with the Lay, Lady, Lay label actually plays I Threw It All Away and vice-versa.
Columbia 13-33178 (USA), 1975 onwards:
|
|
The USA single was re-released with catalogue number 13-33178 in 1975, twice in the 1980s, and again in 1997. The late 1980s jukebox release on Collectables Records was licensed by Columbia. Hans Seegers has two copies of the 1975 release, one with a black sunburst on the labels to the right of the centre hole, one without. François Guillez has a copy without the sunbursts but with white rectangles to the right of the centre hole. Thanks to Patrick Helfrich for scans of the Collectables Re-Issue 7" single. This copy has matrix numbers: A-side - ZSP-150045-IAH, B-side: ZSP-139975-IAH. Note the different positioning of the B-side label on Patrick's copy from mine, cutting away part of the song title! |

"Positively 4th Street"/"Subterranean Homesick Blues" - mono 7" single in "Hall Of Fame" series, Columbia 4-33221 (USA), 1973 ; Columbia 13-33221 (USA), 1975 onwards:
Columbia 4-332211 (USA), 1973:
|
|
These singles were used for jukeboxes and are most valuable with their pink jukebox strip - see above and below right. Columbia 4-33221 exists with two label variants: the first has the original release date "MARCH 1965" only on the B-side. It's also available with a promo sticker "PROMOTION RECORD FOR BROADCAST & REVIEW ONLY/NOT FOR SALE" on three lines. Al Kooper's name is misspelled "Cooper" on all the A-sides (his real name is Alan Peter Kuperschmidt, although perhaps it should be spelled "Kupferschmidt" - "Coppersmith" in German). |

This single was re-released in 1975 as Columbia 13-33221, twice in the 1980s and again in 1997. All these releases give the B-side title as "SUBTERRANEAN HOME SICK BLUES" with "HOMESICK" as two words, split over two lines on the record label. The labels of David Burgess' copy don't have a black sunburst, while those of Kenneth Robson's copy do have one. |

Please note that the black plastic centre clips shown in the scans by David Burgess and Kenneth Robson are not official Columbia accessories. 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 singly).
The 1987 release of Columbia 13-33221 has grey labels, and there was also a late 1980s release with the same style labels by Collectables Records of Narberth, PA, including the Collectables logo. Stefan Haras has a copy of the 1987 release where the last three lines of text below the centre hole are missing. The B-side of this copy is printed normally.
Hans Seegers informs me that when this single was imported into Europe CBS put a blank red sticker over "Columbia". François Guillez has a copy of the 1975 release without the sunburst with white stickers.
For locations of other "Hall Of Fame" singles: those containing rarities, those in mono, and those in stereo, see "Hall Of Fame". For Columbia Hall Of Fame 7" sleeves, see 7" Single Sleeves. Original US releases had a gold sleeve (see above), which was later changed to light yellow.

Bob Dylan/The Band - "It Ain't Me, Babe"/"All Along The Watchtower" - 7" mono/stereo
promo and commercial singles, Asylum E-45212 (USA/Canada), Summer 1974:
The US Asylum singles were made at three different pressing plants in the
USA, each is identified by a code on the single label: "CSM" - Santa Maria, CA;
"CTH" - Terre Haute, IN; "SP" -
Specialty Record Corp, Olyphant, PA.
Labels from only two plants are shown. Some Asylum albums also have code "CP",
which means the Columbia pressing plant at Pitman, NJ. The tracks are live with The Band from
Before The Flood. The A-side is a reduction to mono from stereo, as no mono version of
this album was released.
I previously reported this as a different performance from that on Before The Flood, but the story is more complicated! Les Kokay reports in "Isis" issue 102 that, while the performances are essentially the same, there is a noticeable difference on the last line of the third verse: on the album track and the regular singles (USA, Canada, West Germany, Spain) Bob sings "It still ain't me, babe"; here he sings just the expected "It ain't me, babe." Les' theory, confirmed by Bob Meyer, is that on this promo version the last three lines of the third verse are spliced in from the afternoon performance of the same date.
