This single in a card sleeve contained the title track and Ring Them Bells from Oh Mercy, Silvio from Down In The Groove and All Along The Watchtower (live) from Dylan And The Dead. It was manufactured in the UK, but also released in Holland.

For a picture CD single, see below. Thanks to Alan Hoaksey for the initial information and to Hans Seegers for further information and scans.

For the regular CD single in a card sleeve, see above.  There was also a 12" single version with the same tracks, CBS 655643 6 (see above)

The 12" single, with the same cover as the 7" single, contained the title track and 10,000 Men from Under The Red Sky plus Jokerman from Infidels. I previously listed this as from Holland. Hans Seegers informs me it was indeed manufactured at the CBS processing plant in Heemstrede, Holland, but was exported from there to Scandinavia, Switzerland and Greece - it was not actually available in Holland except as an import!

The UK 7" single, like the UK CD single, has the full album cover picture, with the song title in a typeface rather than handwritten. On the CD single it's in the same position as on the Dutch singles, but on the 7" single it's at the bottom! The rear sleeve has a different crop of the album picture omitting Bob.

The Australian 7" release, CBS 656304 7, came in both promo and commercial generic sleeves, see  7" Single Sleeves. It has orange/yellow CBS labels.

For a 1990 Unbelievable single-track US promo CD single, see Promotional Singles 1990-1999. For commercial Unbelievable CD singles, see below.

This version of the 4-track CD single has a card sleeve and the same tracks as the UK single, but a slightly different front cover with a closer crop of the picture and "BOB DYLAN" and "Unbelievable" in red superimposed. The rear of the card sleeve is a crop of the Under The Red Sky rear album photo. The promo version shown has a gold stamp on the rear of the card sleeve.

Thanks to Hervé from France for information and to Hans Seegers for further information and scans

Thanks to Sam C. Visser for the information that there were two different releases of this single. They were both in a thin CD single jewel case with an identical folded insert. The CDs themselves were quite different: the first credits "BOB DYLAN" in bold type, while the second has "MY BACK PAGES" in bold type and credits "VARIOUS ARTISTS". The text below the centre is laid out completely differently.

Neale Judd has a promo copy of 659767 2 with a gold promo stamp with "DEMONSTRATION ONLY NOT FOR SALE" on the inside of the insert. The CD itself is the second variant credited to "VARIOUS ARTISTS".

Thanks to Hans Seegers, Espen Aas, Sam C. Visser and Neale Judd for information and scans and to Hervé from France for the photo.

Scan of the four Spanish A&M singles by Hans Seegers

This CD single was manufactured in Austria for the French and Dutch markets. It is in a thin CD single jewel case with a sticker advertising Bob's tour in June/July 1995. There is a single folded insert, white on the reverse. The other tracks on the CD were The Times They Are A-Changin', also from MTV Unplugged; Hurricane from Desire and Changing Of The Guards (original 1978 Street-Legal version, 30 seconds shorter than 1999 version). Hurricane and Changing of The Guards came from Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. 3 (shown on the rear cover).

This is the only CD single released after 1990 that hasn't contained rare tracks! (The replaced version of Changing Of The Guards can still be found on CD on 1994's Greatest Hits Vol. 3, so it's not a rarity.)

Thanks to Hans Seegers and Franck Faugere for information and to Hans Seegers for scans.

This book by a senior member of the staff of the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles combines the lyrics of Bob Dylan's Desolation Row with images from the painting by James Ensor "Christ's Entry into Brussels in 1889". The book includes a reproduction of the entire painting as well as a single track CD with the Highway 61 Revisited studio version of the song (Columbia A 30657). The CD is sealed in a plastic sleeve inside the book's rear cover.
