R-0575 Mixed Up Confusion - different mono mix, unique to this acetate, of R-0007 (original US single, see 1962)

R-0576 Mixed Up Confusion - different mono mix to R-0145 (alternate take which runs 10% slow found on the Japanese compilations Mr. D's Collection #1 (LP, see 1974) and Mr. D's Collection #2 (EP, see 1977), and the 1978 Australian compilation Masterpieces (see 1978) and the speed-corrected stereo remix of it found on the 1985 original Biograph (R-0748, see 1985).

R-0577 Mixed Up Confusion - second different mono mix to R-0145, unique to this acetate

CBS A4055 promo 45 (Spain) has radio edit (4:30) on one side, with the album version of Licence To Kill (3:31) from Infidels on the other. The Jokerman song length is misprinted as 4:00 but it is the 4:30 edit (I played it and timed it!). I can only assume that the intention was to use the 4:05 edit (R-0605, see the US, Dutch and Italian singles below). The Spanish label does not have the catalogue number, it's part of the matrix number on the vinyl itself.

CBS A4055 promo 45 (UK) has the radio edit (4:30) on one side (ADJ), with the full album version (6:12) on the other side (A). The song length is shown correctly at 4:30. It doesn't have a picture sleeve.

Thanks to David Burgess for clarifying that the UK commercial single is not a rarity, as previously misreported! (I was told it had R-0161 as the A-side, whereas it actually has the full album version.) For a picture of the regular UK single CBS A4055, see International Singles & EPs 1980s. Thanks also to Magnus Sjöberg.

CBS A4055 (UK) - promo ADJ-side with radio edit R-0161 (my copy)

This edit is listed on the record label as 5:00, but is timed at 5:09.

This very rare record, issued after the country formerly known as Rhodesia had gained independence, had a generic sleeve and orange/yellow CBS labels.

Thanks to Nol Grint for information and scans.

R-0605 Jokerman - second single edit (4:05)

On the US single (which had no picture sleeve) this edit is timed on the label as 4:05, and Hans Seegers assures me this is the correct timing. Hans Seegers has this single in three label variants.

This single and the Dutch/Italian singles below had the 1975 live version of Isis from the 1978 promo EP 4 Songs From "Renaldo And Clara" as the B-side (see 1978). This was then a rarity as it was not released on Biograph until 1985 (see 1985). Biograph mistakenly claims that this version "was issued only on a promotional sampler issued to radio", the compiler of the notes having overlooked this US single and the Dutch/Italian singles below! This performance of Isis has now also been released in a new mix on the bonus DVD with the Limited Edition of The Bootleg Series Vol. 5 - Bob Dylan Live 1975: The Rolling Thunder Revue (see 2002).

The promo single shown has normal labels but with "DEMONSTRATION - NOT FOR SALE" stamped over the barcode on the A- and B-sides. The jukebox strip for "Columbia 4425" wrongly shows Licence To Kill as the B-side (as the Spanish and UK singles above), so is extremely collectable. That combination of tracks was not actually released as the US single, which implies the B-side was changed to Isis in a last minute decision.

Thanks to Hans Seegers and Éamonn Ó Catháin for information and to Hans Seegers for scans.

R-0605-2 Jokerman - second single edit (4:05)

This single is the same as the US single above with the 1975 live version of Isis from the 1978 promo EP 4 Songs From "Renaldo And Clara" as the B-side (see 1978), also released on Biograph (see 1985) and on the bonus DVD with the Limited Edition of The Bootleg Series Vol. 5 - Bob Dylan Live 1975: The Rolling Thunder Revue (see 2002).

The commercial UK single, CBS A4055, had the full length version of Jokerman (6:12) on the A-side and the album version of License To Kill on the B-side (see US & International 7" & 12" Stereo Singles & EPs 1980-89).

 Richard Feirstein: "I have a CX-encoded version of Blood On The Tracks. CX was a record and laserdisc noise reduction system Columbia tried to introduce just before CDs were introduced. It is very quiet and a bit compressed from the normal version when not played through a CX expander."
