This page lists mono releases of this regular Bob Dylan album. These LPs were listed here because the mono versions of Dylan songs were unavailable on CD until the release of the first eight Dylan albums in mono as The Original Mono Recordings in 2010. Mono LPs with rare tracks (e.g. mono versions with significant differences from the album tracks, such as different mixes, edits or fades) are listed in the main chronological pages. Mono singles up to 1976 have their own pages, see the links above.

Thanks to David Burgess for the UK catalogue numbers - all my mono LPs were stolen when my Manchester flat was burgled in May 1968!

For stereo releases of this album, see International Album Releases (Regular Dylan Albums).

Vinyl Releases

"Bob Dylan" - mono vinyl LP releases, Columbia CL 1779 (USA), 19 Mar 1962, re-released up to 1968:

Columbia CL 1779 (USA) - front with sticker, scan by Manuel García Jara (mono sleeve with one guitar tuning peg visible at top)

In this case the original US commercially-released stereo LP, Columbia CS 8579 (with the "6-eye" logo on the record labels) is actually rarer than any of the commercial mono LPs. For stereo releases of this album, see International Album Releases (Regular). The uncredited photographer was Don Hunstein, a Columbia staff photographer. The photograph has been reversed for some reason (probably so that the neck of the guitar didn't obscure the Columbia logo)! Only one guitar tuning peg is visible at the top right of the mono front sleeve - the first stereo sleeve had a higher crop of the picture with the top of Bob's cap and three guitar tuning pegs visible.

The first track, "You're No Good" by Jesse Fuller, is listed correctly on the front sleeve but is mistitled as "She's No Good" on the labels of several US and UK releases (see below). There is some debate about this since Jesse Fuller's own version is actually called "Crazy About A Woman"! (For more information, see here.)

Thanks to Jeff Gold of Record Mecca for photos of three of John Hammond's own acetates from this album, which I assume are mono.

Thanks to Dag Braathen for the picture of an early rear sleeve design for CL 1779/CS 8579 with the title Freewheeling that was eventually used for Bob's second album. Thanks to Arie de Reus for information that this was originally published in a supplement to the UK fan magazine "The Telegraph" many years ago. Jeff Gold says: "The purchase order number at the bottom looks like it was what we call spec type; something ordered by the art department from a type house before everything is finalized, just to be used in the lay out of the cover."

Note the silver star sticker with the words "A NEW STAR ON COLUMBIA RECORDS", this is unique to the first copies sent to stores, both demonstration and commercial - Nicholas Kutscheid informs me he has three copies of this album with the "6-eye" label (see below), but only one has a silver star sticker. The same sticker was also used on first copies of the Carolyn Hester album on which Bob plays harmonica, see 1962. The "6-eye" label was discontinued by Columbia after this album, so no other Dylan album has it. Good copies with the "6-eye" labels are nowadays very rare.

Columbia CL 1779 (USA), the very first Dylan mono album released - front with sticker, scan by Hans Seegers	Thanks to Gerd Rundel for finding a sealed promo copy on eBay with two front stickers - the top sticker has text "Fantastic Savings" and a price of only 59¢. The second gold sticker has text "Columbia Special Products Promotional Album". On the rear sleeve of this copy is a white sticker with text "COMPLIMENTS OF EASTERN ELECTRIC CO." Maryann Kirk has a promo copy above with a hole punched through the top left hand corner of the front sleeve.

Shown below are four demonstration copies and four different commercial copies of the "6-eye" design. David Eckstrom is of the opinion that the variations in the "6-eye" designs occur because the examples came from different Columbia US pressing plants, e.g. at Pitman, NJ, Terre Haute, IN, and Santa Maria, CA. David has a "6-eye" copy with two songs listed above the centre hole (not shown), the same as Manuel García Jara's demonstration copy. The first track, "You're No Good" by Jesse Fuller, is listed correctly on all the "6-eye" labels.

Columbia CL 1779 (USA), first commercial release - rear of demonstration copy with promo stamps, picture from Heritage Auctions There were no white label promo releases of this album, the only promos are as shown: the demo copies of the first release, first variant, have a red demo stamp on the rear sleeve and white overprinting or stickers on the labels; the demo copy of the first release, second variant, shown has a white sticker on the rear sleeve and white stickers on the labels; the demo copy of the first release, fourth variant, shown has a white sticker on the Side 2 label.
Sergio Marianio Romay has found a promo copy with a red demo stamp on the rear sleeve plus a humorous red stamp "STOLEN FROM WNJH". Thanks to Dag Braathen for information that WNJH was a non-commercial AM radio station broadcasting from Hammonton, New Jersey. This copy has a silver star sticker on the front sleeve as shown above,

Gerd Rundel's first demonstration copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-55619-1A, Side 2 - XLP-55620-1A. Renaud Depierreux also has a copy with these matrix numbers, with the silver star on the front and with the silver "DEMONSTRATION RECORD - NOT FOR SALE" stamps on the labels. It does not, however, have the red "DEMONSTRATION - NOT FOR SALE" stamp on the rear sleeve.

Thanks to John Napa for pictures of a variant first demonstration copy with no demo text on Side 1 and a white sticker (no silver stamp) on Side 2. This copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-55619-1A, Side 2 - XLP-55620-1B.

Gerd Rundel has a copy of the first commercial release with the "6-eye" labels with a pattern of pin pricks at bottom right of the rear sleeve, the record has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1: XLP-55619-1B, Side 2: XLP-55620-1A. The sleeve is otherwise the same as Hans Seegers' commercial copy.

Columbia CL 1779 (USA) - rear with signature, scan by Vince Hockey

Virtuoso guitar technician Vince Hockey has a mono copy that was bought in June 1962 soon after first release and signed by Bob at Gerdes Folk City in New York! The record has the "6-eye" labels with matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP55619-1E, Side 2 - XLP55620-1F Vince says: "When he signed it there was only myself, the barman and a lady in the place so apart from the barman I was the only person he knew. I'd only just bought the album because, working on a ship, I wouldn't have had time the next day. So it was pure chance! It still seems pretty surreal to say "I was having a drink with Bob Dylan!". More than once!!!!!!.

It's so long ago I can't remember the exact date but early June is most likely. The pen is a "Sheaffer" which i discovered was only made in 1962 the year Bob and I both became legal to drink alcohol in NYC."

Columbia CL 1779 (USA) - detail of rear with signature, scan by Vince Hockey

Austin Settle has a copy of the first commercial release, second variant, where the record labels have the first song listed above the centre hole but with "CBS" in black missing below "COLUMBIA" in white at the top of the labels. The rear sleeve has an "8" printed at bottom right, see below. The record of this copy has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-55619-1C, Side 2 - XLP-55620-1D.

Max from Italy has a copy of the first commercial release, second variant, where the record labels have the first song listed above the centre hole with "CODE 4 INSP." stamped on the rear sleeve at top right and a "2" at bottom right. Gerd Rundel also has a copy of the first commercial release, second variant, with a "2" at bottom right of the rear sleeve. The record of this copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP 55619-1E (handwritten), Side 2 - XLP-55620-1F (stamped). This record comes in the colour inner sleeve shown above.

Bjarne Rother Jensen has another copy of the second commercial release where the record labels have the first song listed above the centre hole with "8" printed at bottom right. The record of Bjarne's copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-55619-1D, Side 2 - XLP-55620-1C and comes in the blue and white inner sleeve illustrated by Gerd Rundel above.

The numbers stamped at bottom right indicate the manufacturer of the sleeve: "2" indicates that the sleeve was fabricated by Imperial Paper Box Corp. of Brooklyn, NY; "8" indicates that the sleeve was fabricated by Modern Album Finishing Co., probably at Terre Haute, IN.

Graham Small has a copy where the record comes in a sleeve with a "4" on the rear in the lower right corner. The "4" indicates that the sleeve was fabricated by Imperial Packing Co., Inc. of Indianapolis, IN. The record has first release variant 2 labels. This copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP55619-1E P (handwritten), Side 2 - XLP-55620-1E plus "?" ("?" looks like a small "c" with a dot under it).

So far nine different record label designs for US mono releases of Bob Dylan have been notified to me, in four label styles:

"6-eye" label design, available in four variants, You're No Good correctly titled on all four:
a) all tracks listed below centre hole (available also as demonstration copies)
b) first track listed above centre hole on one line (available also as demonstration copies)
c) first track listed above centre hole on two lines with "CBS" missing below "COLUMBIA" at the top of the labels.
d) two tracks listed above centre hole (available also as demonstration copies)
"GUARANTEED HIGH FIDELITY" label design (Columbia introduced this label design in the second half of 1962), first track listed above centre hole, two variants:
a) You're No Good correctly titled. The record in Gerd Rundel's copy of this release has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1: XLP-55619-1F, Side 2: XLP-55620-1E
b) You're No Good incorrectly titled as "She's No Good"
"MONO"/"360º SOUND"/arrows label design (Highway 61 Revisited in Aug 1965 was the first Dylan album to have this style of label on first release), first track listed above centre hole, two variants:
a) You're No Good incorrectly titled as "She's No Good"
b) You're No Good correctly titled
"MONO" label design but "360º SOUND"/arrows and "NONBREAKABLE" missing - this is a 1968 style label (see John Wesley Harding) and must date from then, first track listed above centre hole, You're No Good incorrectly titled as "She's No Good".

Columbia CL 1779 (USA), late 1962-67 (second to fifth mono releases):

Columbia CL 1779 (USA), second mono commercial release - new "GUARANTEED HIGH FIDELITY" design Side 1 scan by Gerd Rundel (first track correctly titled and listed above centre hole)

Columbia CL 1779 (USA), second mono commercial release - Side 2 scan by Gerd Rundel

Columbia CL 1779 (USA), third mono commercial release - "GUARANTEED HIGH FIDELITY" Side 1 scan by Hans Seegers (first track is now incorrectly titled "She's No Good")

Columbia CL 1779 (USA), third mono commercial release - Side 1 with demo sticker, photo by Josh Berger

Columbia CL 1779 (USA), fourth mono commercial release - "MONO/360º SOUND" Side 1 scan by Gerd Rundel (first track is still incorrectly titled "She's No Good")

Mark from Southland CD, Redondo Beach, CA, has a copy with second issue "GUARANTEED HIGH FIDELITY" record labels (variant 2 above) with You're No Good correctly titled above the centre hole. This copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP 55619-1E P (handwritten), Side 2 - XLP-55620-1C P (stamped). A curiosity is that Side 1 plays much more loudly than Side 2. There is very little dead wax left of the vinyl on either side.

David Denyer has a third commercial release copy of Columbia CL 1779 with the same "GUARANTEED HIGH FIDELITY" label design as the example from Hans Seegers above, but with matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-5519-1A, Side 2 - XLP-55620-1A, which is unusual in that these are first pressing matrix numbers.

Josh Berger from Brooklyn, New York, has a third commercial release copy with a sticker with "FOR DEMONSTRATION USE ONLY NOT FOR SALE" on Side 1 only. There are no stickers on the sleeve.

The fourth and fifth commercial releases date from after Aug 1965.

Columbia CL 1779 (USA) - front scan by Lars M. Banke (fifth mono commercial release variant)	The record of Gerd Rundel's fifth release copy has "MONO/360º SOUND" labels with You're No Good correctly titled on Side 1. The labels still have "NONBREAKABLE" to the left of the centre hole. The record of the copy shown has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-55619-1L, Side 2 - XLP-55620-1AA. The record of Lars M. Banke's variant fifth release copy has almost identical labels with You're No Good again correctly titled on Side 1. However, the labels no longer have "NONBREAKABLE" to the left of the centre hole, like the sixth release labels below. The record of the copy shown has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-55619-1AB, Side 2 - XLP-55620-1AB.				Columbia CL 1779 (USA) - rear scan by Lars M. Banke (fifth mono commercial release variant)

Banke (fifth mono commercial release variant , "NONBREAKABLE" missing)	Columbia CL 1779 (USA) - Side 2 scan by Lars M. Banke (fifth mono commercial release variant)

Columbia CL 1779 (USA), ca. 1968 (sixth mono release):

Columbia CL 1779 (USA), sixth mono commercial release - front scan by Gerd Rundel	This copy of the sixth commercial release of Columbia CL 1779 has a hole punched through the sleeve and a promo sticker with "COMPLIMENTS OF EASTERN ELECTRIC CO." on the rear sleeve. The record has labels in a new style introduced with the first mono release of John Wesley Harding in 1968. The "360º SOUND" text, arrows and "NONBREAKABLE" are all missing. However, the first track is again incorrectly titled "She's No Good"!
Columbia CL 1779 (USA), sixth mono commercial release - detail of front, scan by Gerd Rundel (hole punched through sleeve)	Columbia CL 1779 (USA), sixth mono commercial release - detail of rear, scan by Arie de Reus (promo sticker and hole punched through sleeve)	Columbia CL 1779 (USA), sixth mono commercial release - rear scan by Gerd Rundel	Columbia CL 1779 (USA), sixth mono commercial release - Side 1 scan by Arie de Reus ("360º SOUND", arrows and "NONBREAKABLE" are missing, first track is again incorrectly titled "She's No Good")	Columbia CL 1779 (USA), sixth mono commercial release - Side 2 scan by Arie de Reus

New York State-based small label Sundazed gained approval in 2004 from Columbia to reissue the 1960s Dylan album in their original mono on 180gm vinyl. Thanks to Tim Dunn for information about this album. For more information see Sundazed's web-site , where this album is still for sale.

Thanks to John W. Busher for this extra information "I thought you would be interested to know that there have been two pressings of the Sundazed "Bob Dylan" mono LP. The first pressing is defective, and has some distortion problems. The matrix numbers are: Side 1 - AM53895 LP5120A, Side 2 - AM53895 LP5120B. The second pressing corrects the problem, and has matrix numbers: Side 1 - AM53895 LP5120A RE1, Side 2 - AM53895 LP5120B RE1. There is no difference in the artwork, but the re-pressing can be ordered from Sundazed if you specifically ask for it."

Thanks to Robert Kornovich for photos of the labels, which reproduce the second original Columbia US "6-eye" design with "You're No Good" listed above the centre hole (see above) and to Moise Potié for finding the picture of the sealed album with Sundazed sticker. Sergio Mariano Romay's copy has two front stickers as shown. Scan of the rear sleeve required!"

This album was also sold in Europe by the Dutch company Music On Vinyl as MOVLP 239. The copy shown has a gold Music On Vinyl sticker on the front sleeve and a white sticker with a barcode on the rear sleeve at bottom right. The rear sleeve of Ronald Born's copy has a "7" at bottom right. This indicates that the original 1962 sleeve that has been reproduced was fabricated by Modern Album Finishing Co., Terre Haute, IN. The record in the Dutch release is the same as that in the US release.

Thanks to Manuel García Jara and Ronald Born for information and scans.

"Bob Dylan" - mono vinyl LP release, Columbia CL 1779 (USA for export), 1963(?):

Columbia CL 1779 (USA for export) - front scan by Lars M. Banke (version pasted over with "CBS" to sell in France)

Michel Pomarede has found a copy of CL 1779 in France with "CBS" stickers on the sleeve, one on the front, four on the rear. The sleeve has a "1" at bottom right, indicating that it was fabricated by Modern Album Finishing Co., probably at Terre Haute, IN.

The record labels look like those of the first release, second variant, with one song above the centre hole, track 1 on Side 1 correctly listed as You're No Good, and "NONBREAKABLE" present. Each record label has a red full ring-shaped sticker with four "CBS" logos. The record has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-55619-1D, Side 2 - XLP-55619-1?.

"Bob Dylan" - mono vinyl LP, Columbia CL 1779 (Canada), late 1962:

Columbia CL 1779 (Canada) - front scan by Hans Seegers	This album was made in Canada. I don't have an exact release date, but it must be no earlier than late 1962 because of the label design. It has "LITHO IN CANADA" on the front sleeve and "PRINTED IN CAN." on the record labels, which are a variant of the third US commercial release above with "GUARANTEED HIGH FIDELITY" and You're No Good incorrectly titled as "She's No Good". No tracks are listed above the centre hole. The copy of the record shown has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1- xlp 55619-1B, Side 2 - xlp 55620-1B.

"Bob Dylan" - mono vinyl LP releases, CBS BPG 62022/CL 1779 (UK), Jun 1962 onwards:
The UK was the first country apart from the USA to release this album - in other countries it was not released until well after Bob became successful, sometimes as late as 1967, and then in stereo only. Thanks to David Burgess for the 1985 "Record Collector" article by Tim Davies giving the UK release date. Ian Woodward recalls an advert for the album in "Record Retailer", 28 Jun 1962, with the title shown as "You're No Good". The test pressing has a white CBS blank label with handwritten text, including "July". For the stereo version of this album, CBS SBPG 62022, see International Album Releases (Regular).

CBS BPG 62022 (UK) - Philips-made releases (2):

CBS BPG 62022 (UK), copy pressed by Philips - front scan by Arie de Reus (both releases)	The UK rear sleeve has a different layout from the US releases, without the Dylan photo. There were three separate releases of this album before 1965, two are definitely from 1962. These releases were manufactured by Philips (later part of PolyGram, now Universal) on behalf of CBS Records. US Columbia releases were previously released in the UK by Philips on either the Philips or Fontana labels before CBS Records was established. Columbia ended the arrangement with Philips in 1961 and formed CBS Records in 1962, but Philips made the first releases of Bob Dylan in 1962 and also made early copies of The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan in 1963 plus The Times They Are A-Changin’ and Another Side Of Bob Dylan in 1964. CBS Records did not have a pressing plant in the UK until they bought the former Oriole Records plants and recording studio on 21 Sep 1964 (Oriole had also released American Columbia hits in the UK in the early 1960s). Unlike the USA, the UK did have a white label promo, which is in a Philips-made sleeve.

CBS BPG 62022 (UK), first release pressed by Philips - Side 1 scan by Arie de Reus (first track correctly titled "You're No Good")	CBS BPG 62022 (UK), copy pressed by Philips - detail of bottom left of rear sleeve, scan by Arie de Reus ("CBS IS A TRADEMARK..."), there is no text below the liner notes at bottom right (both releases)		CBS BPG 62022 (UK), first release pressed by Philips - Side 2 scan by Arie de Reus	CBS BPG 62022 (UK), second release pressed by Philips - Side 1 scan by Hans Seegers (first track incorrectly titled "She's No Good" - Side 2 of this copy is the same as Arie's release)

The record of Arie de Reus' copy of this album that was manufactured for CBS by Philips has the first track on Side 1 correctly titled You're No Good and Philips matrix numbers: Side 1 - BPG 62022 1L 2=420 VVV, Side 2 - BPG 62022 2L 2//420 VO. (The "V" is an upside down triangle). Eddy Moors in Denmark has a copy of this release that has "OT" stamped on the record labels. This is a British Purchase Tax code that an Internet site says was in use only until 10 Apr 1962, when it was replaced by "ZT". However, a 1964 UK copy of Another Side Of Bob Dylan has also been found with this code, so the April 1962 date must be incorrect.

Hans Seegers has a second release of the Philips pressing where You're No Good is incorrectly titled "She's No Good". This is the same as the CBS mono and stereo pressings, which are all incorrect. The Side 2 label is the same as Arie's first release copy, not the same as Gerd's second release Side 2 label below.

Gerd Rundel has a copy of the first Philips release in the same sleeve as shown. On Side 1 (between 6 and 8 o`clock) is the embossed British Purchase Tax code "O/T1"". This record has stamped Philips matrix numbers: Side 1 - BPG 62022 1L v 2 = 420 V V V (v = small inverted triangle), Side 2 - BPG 62022 v 2L v 1 // 420 V O O (v = small inverted triangle).

The Philips rear sleeves and the CBS rear sleeves had three folded-over flaps, not present on later CBS UK releases. Thanks to Harald Sigvartsen for pointing out that Fixin' To Die and Highway 51 are wrongly listed as "Fixin' To Die Blues" and "Highway 51 Blues" on all the Side 1 record labels.

CBS BPG 62022 (UK), first release pressed by Philips - Side 1 scan by Gerd Rundel (first track correctly titled "You're No Good")	Gerd Rundel explains there is more variation to both Philips releases than just the first track title: the album title "BOB DYLAN" is in a different typeface; also the second release has "BPG 62022" to the right of the centre hole while the first release has "BPG62022". Gerd's second Philips release copy has the embossed British Purchase Tax code "O/T1" on Side 2 directly left of the centre hole. The record of this copy has stamped Philips matrix numbers: Side 1 - BPG 62022 1L v 2 = 420 V V 4 (v = small inverted triangle), Side 2 - BPG 62022 v 2L v 1 // 420 V O 4 (v = small inverted triangle).

Hans Seegers also has a copy in a CBS sleeve that has a CBS label on Side 1 and a first Philips release label on Side 2. Gerd also has a copy with mixed labels: this variant has a CBS label on Side 1 and a second Philips release label on Side 2. The sleeve is the same as Hans' listed CBS commercial release with no catalogue number below CBS logo on the front. The record of this copy has stamped CBS matrix numbers: Side 1 - 62022-3A-1, Side 1 - 62022-3B-1. Peter Oudejans has a copy with the second Philips label on Side 1, but with a CBS label as below on Side 2. This record also has CBS matrix numbers as Gerd's.

The differences are as follows:

On the Philips-made front sleeves (both identical) the catalogue number BPG 6022 is present at top left under the stereo arrows and the CBS logo – on the CBS release it is missing.
On the Philips-made rear sleeves the catalogue number is printed at top right to the left of the CBS logo – on the CBS release it is below the CBS logo.
On the Philips-made rear sleeves the text "CBS IS A TRADEMARK OF COLUMBIA BROADCASTING SYSTEM INC." is printed at bottom left. On the CBS release it is printed at bottom right with other copyright text and at bottom left is "Printed by Garrod & Lofthouse".
On the Philips-made record labels to the right of the centre hole underneath the music publisher credits the matrix number is shown as “BPG 62022 1L” or “BPG 62022 2L” above the text “"RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1962”. On the CBS release the matrix numbers are “BPG 62022 A” or “BPG 62022 B” above the shorter text of “(P) 1962". (The “L” on the Philips label meant Mono, with “Y” for Stereo.) See the three detailed scans above.
The Philips labels have "BPG 62022" to the right of the centre hole, while the CBS labels have "BPG 62022". See the three detailed scans above.
On the first Philips-made Side 1 record label the first song is titled “You’re No Good”, later changed to “She’s No Good” – on the CBS release it’s listed as “She’s No Good”.

Kenneth Robson has a copy of this first CBS commercial release with the word "Red" printed above the logo at the top right of the rear sleeve. This may have indicated a mono copy, because Ian Woodward has mono and stereo copies of a UK Decca album where the rear sleeve has a hole punched through it with the text "RED - MONO/BLUE - STEREO" revealing different coloured inside sleeves (I have a stereo copy of a UK Decca released Rolling Stones album with the hole in the rear sleeve showing a blue inner sleeve). Chris Chilvers has a copy of this first CBS commercial release with the word "rad" printed below the logo at the top left of the front sleeve. The rear sleeve has "RAD" printed above "BOB DYLAN" and "UNIVERS 65" printed below the mono catalogue number at top right. Augie Krater points out that Univers 65 is a typeface, and it's possible "rad/RAD" is short for radio.

CBS BPG 62022 (UK), possible 1968-69 release - front photocopy by Paul Shenton (no catalogue number or "STEREO"/arrows)

Paul Shenton has a copy of the mono album with the CBS labels in this otherwise-unlisted stereo sleeve. The front sleeve is the same as that of the mono CBS release above and the mid-1970s stereo release (see International Album Releases (Regular Dylan Albums)), with no "STEREO"/arrows logo and no catalogue number under the CBS logo at top left.

CBS SBPG 62022 (UK), possible 1968-69 release - detail of rear, photocopy by Paul Shenton (three text lines in box, printer's name Ernest J. Day at bottom right, no folded-over flaps)

The rear sleeve of this copy is completely new - it has just "62022" below the CBS logo at top right, but the stereo information in the text box has been expanded to three lines, unlike any other shown here. The sleeve was printed by Ernest J. Day & Co., Ltd., London W11. The construction of the sleeve is unusual (this is the only example I have of it). It is made of two separate pieces of card with the front sleeve flaps folded under. This method of construction does not allow for a proper spine. The spine text is on the rear half in roughly the same place as on other sleeves, but in a very fine font with "BOB DYLAN" squeezed up and "62022" spaced out. When the two pieces of card were glued together they were slightly misaligned, so that the top of "62022" is hidden under the front half.

Thanks to Éamonn Ó Catháin for finding a copy of the CBS commercial release on eBay where the sleeve and record labels belong to the mono album, but the record itself is actually the stereo album with stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - SBPG 62022 A, Side 2 - SBPG 62022 B. As shown above, both record labels have "BPG 62022" as the catalogue number, "(P) 1962" to the right of the centre hole and track 1 on Side 1 is listed as "SHE'S NO GOOD".

"Bob Dylan" - mono vinyl LP releases, CBS BP-233206 (Australia), 1965 (two variants):

CBS BP-233206 (Australia) - front scan by Hans Seegers (both variants)	Almost the same record sleeve was used for these releases and the New Zealand release below, the only difference being the catalogue number in the rear top right hand corner (both illustrated). The record sleeves both have folded-over flaps, although the Australian sleeve has two and the New Zealand sleeve has three. What looks like a third flap on the Australian rear sleeve is the line where the front laminate ends. Like the UK release, the rear sleeves do not have the Bob Dylan picture. Neither mention that the sleeves were made in Australia or New Zealand.

The records were made in Australia and have orange CBS labels. The first track, You're No Good by Jesse Fuller, was correctly titled on the Side 1 labels of both releases. The Australian record labels have at the bottom the text "MADE IN AUSTRALIA BY A REGISTERED USER OF THE TRADE MARKS" without a CBS copyright. This is because up to 1977 all Australian records were manufactured by the Australian Record Company (Pty) Ltd. (A.R.C.) on behalf of CBS. The songs are copyrighted by "Leeds Music and "Control", not "Allan's" as later 1960s Australian releases. There are two variants of the Side 1 label - on the first track 7 is shown as "HIGHWAY 51" on the first line and "(Jones) Leeds" on the second line; on the first track 7 is shown as "HIGHWAY 51 (Jones)" on the first line and just "Leeds" on the second line. The Side 2 labels are the same.

For the stereo release of the Australian album, CBS SBP-233206, see International Album Releases (Regular).

"Bob Dylan" - mono vinyl LP releases, CBS ALD 6818 (South Africa/Rhodesia), 1965:

CBS ALD 6818 (South Africa) - front scan by Arie de Reus	The album sleeve was printed in South Africa by Record Pac. It has no Bob Dylan picture on the rear, but it is unique in having "BOB DYLAN" in red and the track listing in blue. Hans Seegers' copy has two folded-over rear flaps, Arie de Reus' copy has three folded-over flaps. (Manuel García Jara is doubtful about this, and thinks what looks like a third flap is actually just a thick line where the front laminate ends on the rear sleeve. A sleeve with two folded-over flaps is made of one sheet of card with flaps, folded in half so that the flaps then overlap the rear sleeve. A sleeve with three folded-over flaps will need to be made of two separate pieces of card, with the three flaps from the front sleeve overlapping the rear sleeve - Manuel has never seen a sleeve like this.

The South African record has orange CBS labels in two variants. The first track, You're No Good by Jesse Fuller, was correctly titled on the Side 1 label of both variants. On variant 2 the playing speed "33⅓" to the left of the centre hole is in a different typeface from that of variant 1, and the music publisher information to the right of the centre hole on Side 1 is spread over five lines on variant 2 instead of six on variant 1; also to the right of the centre hole the matrix numbers XLP.55619" (Side 1) and "XLP.55620" (Side 2) are left-aligned on variant 1 and centred on variant 2. Arie de Reus' copy with variant 1 record labels has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-55619-1H, Side 2 - XLP-55620-1K, as does Manuel García Jara's copy with variant 2 record labels.

Manuel García Jara's very rare Rhodesian copy looks identical to the South African copy (variant 1) but it has "MADE IN S. RHODESIA" stamped into the vinyl on both sides of the record.

Thanks to Hans Seegers, Arie de Reus and Manuel García Jara for information and scans.

"Bob Dylan" - mono vinyl LP, CBS CL 1779 (Singapore), 1965:

CBS CL 1779 (Singapore) - front scan by Hans Seegers

This release uses an imported US sleeve and the US catalogue number, but has unique labels with three CBS logos and the white "MONO"/"360º SOUND" label design without arrows.

The first track, You're No Good by Jesse Fuller, was correctly titled on the Side 1 label.

Gerd Rundel has a copy that is exactly the same as the one shown. The record of his copy has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-55619, Side 2 - XLP-55620.

CBS 62022 (Italy) - detail of rear, scan by Manuel García Jara (both 1966 releases, bottom text on two lines, two folded-over flaps)

The 1966 records have orange CBS labels. The first track, You're No Good by Jesse Fuller, was correctly titled on the Side 1 labels of all releases. The two 1960s releases have quite different orange CBS labels. Both variants of the first release have "BOB DYLAN" twice as album title and artist name above the centre hole (the same as the 1966 stereo release), the later 1960s release has "BOB DYLAN" below the centre hole, above and below the song titles.

Manuel García Jara has a copy of the 1966 release first variant exported to Yugoslavia with "PER ESPORTAZIONE [FOR EXPORT]" stamped on both labels. Unlike other Communist regimes, the government of Yugoslavia allowed the import of Western records in limited quantities, but even so, records with stamps like this are very rare. The record has the same stamped matrix numbers as the variant 1 record above: Side 1 - 62022 1L 22/9/66, Side 2 - 62022 2L 22/9/66.

"Bob Dylan" - mono vinyl release, Columbia/Sony Music 88985455271 (Europe), 1 Dec 2017:

Columbia/Sony Music 88985455271 (Europe) - front photo by Sigbjørn Flyen

This new release comes in a reproduction of the 1962 US stereo sleeve and has reproduction "6 eye" US stereo record labels. It is, however, definitely a mono pressing on 180gm vinyl. There is a "We are vinyl" sticker on the shrink-wrap of the front sleeve.

Columbia/Sony Music 88985455271 (Europe) - Side 2 photo by Sigbjørn Flyen

The record of the copy shown has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - 21108 2A 88985455271, Side 2 - 21108 1B 88985455271. This means the record could have been pressed by Optimal (Germany) or GZ Media (Czech Republic), but not MOV (NL) or MPO (France). It was probably sourced from digital material, not a previous master.

Thanks to Sonny Boy McFitzson for information about the Japanese release, Sony Music SICP 2151-59. It has a wrap-around obi with price ¥18,900 (¥18,000 plus sales tax). This has been reduced from the originally announced price of ¥25,000! As the original mono albums were never released in Japan, each has a light blue top obi based on those of the original stereo releases. The Japanese CD also comes in the picture inner sleeve with a Japanese language booklet and an insert reproducing the 1962 silver star sticker (see above).

The 12" mono LP is available separately from the vinyl boxed set as a Dutch release, Music On Vinyl MOVLP 239 (NL) - scans required.

Thanks to Anthony Perry for information and scans.

"Bob Dylan" - unauthorised 2CD stereo and mono release, Not Now Music NOT2CD480 (UK), Jan 2013:

Not Now Music NOT2CD480 (UK) - front of slipcase, picture from www.ginza.se

Thanks to Anders Lindh for information about this 2CD release, presumably "legal" because of copyright expiry in the EU after fifty years. As well as stereo and mono versions of the album, it includes two bonus tracks. According to Derek Barker of "Isis" magazine, Not Now Music informed him they were both sides of the original Mixed Up Confusion/Corrina, Corrina mono 7" single (R-0007 and R-0008, see 1962). However, this is completely wrong - Mixed Up Confusion is the stereo overdubbed alternate take from the original release of Biograph (R-0748, see 1985) and Corrina, Corrina is an unfaded version of mono track from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan with a final drum roll from drummer Herb Lovelle (2:53 instead of 2:44)! As this is a completely new rarity, full details are in 2013.

Special thanks to Anders for the album!
