Columbia and CBS 7" mono single releases of I Want You - several of many international 1966 singles with a unique live version of Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues on the B-side

This page contains all 1966 7" singles/EPs with I Want You. It has been separated from 1966 because of the length of that page. "Blonde On Blonde" album releases with rarities and the major 1966 Dylan 7" singles/EPs with rarities are now listed here:

"I Want You" - 10" mono acetate, Columbia (USA), May 1966:

R-0529  I Want You - same take as used on the Blonde On Blonde album, but with a completely different mix

A known copy of this acetate has "voice too low" handwritten on the label. The mix was never used commercially.

The single-sided acetate illustrated below does not have the "voice too low" comment, and is probably R-0322.


"I Want You" - second 10" mono acetate, Columbia (USA), May 1966:


Acetate label scan by Hans Seegers (R-0322)
The single-sided acetate illustrated left does not have the "voice too low" comment (see above), and is probably R-0322 (see below).

Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scan.

Columbia 4-43683 (USA), 10 Jun 1966:


Columbia 4-43683 (USA) - front scan by
Manuel García Jara

This single was also available as a white label promo with red text. The copy shown has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - ZSP114563-1C, Side 2 - ZSP114564-1D. The promo single was not in fact available with red vinyl as previously reported. Ian Woodward has a copy of the same promo single with red text with matrix numbers: Side 1 - ZSP114563-1F, Side 2 - ZSP114564-1F. The labels of Kenneth Robson's commercial copy of this single are missing the Witmark copyright information below the track time on the right of the centre hole. The plastic centres of this copy are generic and not Columbia issue. The rear sleeve has the same picture as the front sleeve, with the addition of copyright information. David Abarca Esteve has two copies of the commercial single, and the front of one is noticeably darker than the other.

R-0322 I Want You - slight edit - 2:54 (full-length version is 3:07)
Those single labels that have a timing show the length at 2:57, not 2:54.

R-0054 Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues recorded live with the Hawks, at the Odeon Theatre, Liverpool, England, 14 May 1966, B-side (5:36, listed as "Recorded Live in Liverpool England")
This live performance, never released on a regular Columbia album, is also on the Japanese promo LP Mr. D's Collection #1 (see 1974), the Japanese promo EP Mr. D's Collection #2 (see 1976), the 1978 Australian set Masterpieces (see 1978), the Japanese Mr. D's Collection #3 promo CD (see 1993), the Japanese Dylan Ga Rock promo 2CD set (see 1993 and 2010) and the Capitol/EMI boxed set The Band: A Musical History (see 2005). Sadly, it does not appear on the B-side of a withdrawn CBS Spanish EP (see 1972), because the record was mispressed with It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry from Highway 61 Revisited instead!

This outstanding live performance of Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues is one of the most prized Dylan rarities and it demands inclusion on a regular Dylan album. It is surprising it wasn't on the 2001 Japanese live album Bob Dylan Live 1961-2000: Thirty-Nine Years Of Great Concert Performances, see 2001. This track is now one of the 42 rarities included for download with the Aug 2006 Apple iTunes Bob Dylan Collection, see Online Performances (Other), and is also on the Columbia/Legacy USA/Europe 36CD set The 1966 Live Recordings, Nov 2016. All versions are still in mono as originally recorded.

Fred Muller says the version on the Columbia/Legacy USA/Europe 36CD set The 1966 Live Recordings is not only longer at 6:51, but slightly clipped at the beginning when compared with the versions on Masterpieces and The Band: A Musical History. This is confirmed by Peter Coulthard and Roger Ford, who say that the first two bars of the performance on the 1966 mono single and subsequent releases of R-0054 up to 2016 were spliced in from the performance of Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues from the ABC Theatre, Belfast, Northern Ireland, 6 May 1966! This was however not done by Richard Alderson who recorded both shows. In a Jan 2017 email conversation between Richard and Peter Coulthard, Richard said that he handed all his 7" Nagra reels over to Howard Alk at the end of the tour and never saw them again. It's possible that the splice was done by Mike Claydon of I.B.C. Recording Studios, London, who was contracted by Columbia to make four recordings from Sheffield, 16 May 1966,onwards, or maybe by Columbia engineers in the USA, although the time scale is unbelievably short. This means that track 8 on CD14 of The 1966 Live Recordings is not the same as R-0054, and now has a new R-number, R-1906.

Ad for Columbia 4-43683 (USA) from "Cash Box" magazine, Jun 1966 - scan by Hans Seegers
A rarity from Hans Seegers: "Believe it or not, this is one of the rarest single items in the US. It's a special sleeve for the single I Want You/Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues, Columbia 4-43683, released on June 10, 1966.  This sleeve was a page in the magazine "Cash Box" no. 16 in 1966. To receive the free single, the folded page had to be sent to Columbia Records. As you see on the scan on left is the result. You also see the dotted line where to fold. This is impossible to find nowadays. Extremely rare. It's actually strange that they did the stunt with this single, because it had already a beautiful sleeve."

Thanks to Viktor Ericsson for pointing out that the ad appeared in the 25 Jun 1966 issue of "Billboard” (see right), and to Manuel García Jara for providing the scan. Ian Woodward says there is nothing in the “Billboard” advert: [A] about using the page to make a picture sleeve for the single, nor [B] about sending the folded page to Columbia Records. In his detail scan on the right, the folding instructions appear to refer only to the LP set, not the single. He has not located the advert in any publication other than “Billboard” although Keith Venturoni thinks one did appear in “Cash Box”. The "Billboard" ad is on Page 19 of the 25 Jun 1966 issue, and on the reverse is a full page ad for a single by Evie Sands, not Dylan-related. The advert for the Evie Sands single also appeared in “Cash Box” but in the previous week's issue, on Page 11.

Detail of ad for Columbia 4-43683 (USA) from "Billboard" magazine, 25 Jun 1966 - scan by Ian Woodward

Ian adds that a "Billboard" page appears to have been 11" x 15" (which is one quarter of an Imperial page size of 22" x 30", known as quarto). The cut-out Blonde On Blonde cover illustration was therefore about 7.5" x 7.5", about the same size as a single sleeve. However, there's no indication in the "Billboard" ad that readers were intended to use it for that purpose!

The 18CD Collector's Edition of The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 - Bob Dylan 1965-1966 The Cutting Edge includes nine of the mono 7" singles released in 1965 and 1966 with new picture sleeves and a "leopard-skin" spindle with which to play the singles. Columbia 4-43683 from Jun 1966 is included as Columbia/Legacy 88875124402-(SV)7 with the US promo single white labels with red text as shown above. The picture sleeve is virtually the same, but it has a particularly silly error on the labels - the producer is shown as Tom Wilson instead of Bob Johnston! For the correct labels, see above.


Columbia/Legacy/ Sony Music 88875124412 (Europe) - detail of pocket for Disc 3 of 6CD set, scan by Ian Woodward ("4-33108" shown as released on "1/16/67", 16 Jan 1967)

Ian Woodward points out that the fold-out pages at the back of the book with the 6CD Deluxe Edition of The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 - Bob Dylan 1965-1966 The Cutting Edge from 2015 show artists' contract cards for the 1965-66 period. The pocket that holds Disc 3 has details of the single releases of I Want You, first released as Columbia 4-43683 on 19 Jun 1966 (see above), and secondly as the B-side of the Hall of Fame single Columbia 4-33108. The release date for Columbia 4-33108 is shown as "1/16/67" (16 Jan 1967) and not on 25 April 1973 as originally thought (see 1973). This page will be revised as soon as possible.

CBS 202258 (UK) - A-side scan by Manuel García Jara (promo copy, push-out centre - R-0322)

This single with a push-out centre for jukebox use came in a generic orange/white CBS UK sleeve as shown. Sergio Mariano Romay has an alternate single with a solid centre. Thanks to Rod MacBeath for the CBS UK press release giving the single release date as 15 Jul 1966.

Thanks to David Burgess for the ticket from the Liverpool Odeon Theatre on 14 May 1966 when R-0054 was recorded. David also took the photo of the Liverpool Odeon Theatre site and two helpful passers-by in 2011. The girl is holding a picture of the single B-side, the guy is holding a picture of David's ticket.

"I Want You"/"Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues (live)" - 7" mono singles, CBS 2258 (NL), end Jul 1966:
I previously listed the release date of this single as the same as the UK release date, but Tom Willems says the single did not enter the Dutch charts until 30 Jul 1966. The book "Hypnotist Collectors" by Jean-Louis Dréau and Robert Schlockoff (Média Presse, France, 1989) gives the release date as Aug 1966, which must be slightly late.

This Dutch single had a generic CBS Holland rear sleeve with illustrations of contemporary 72 singles, which does not show the catalogue number, artist or song titles. The record had three label variants - variant 1 has "45 RPM" to the right of the centre hole, while variants 2A and 2B have "45 rpm". Variant 2B is the same as variant 2A to the right of the centre hole, but the text lines to the left are more widely spaced, especially on the B-side. The plastic centre clips on the Dutch single variant 2A and illustrated on the postcard were sold separately in record shops at the time and are not CBS issue. Thanks to Éamonn O Catháin for the Dutch postcard with a picture of this single (Ian Woodward says this is not contemporary, but dates from around ten years later).

Thanks to Hans Seegers, Tom Willems, Éamonn O Catháin, Dave Mansell and Manuel García Jara for information and scans.

The Swedish single had a fold-out paper sleeve, the same on both sides as shown. Thanks to Francisco Lima for information about the Danish single. Hans Seegers explains that up to 1973 CBS Denmark had their records manufactured at the PolyGram pressing plant in Oslo, Norway, so they are identical to the records released in Norway. Up to 1968 the sleeves were printed in Denmark so were different from the Norwegian sleeves. The rear of the Danish sleeve was blank, as shown.

This single was released by CBS in Japan before the company was taken over by Sony. The commercial record has orange CBS labels.

CBS 5946 (Mexico) - A-side scan by Manuel García Jara (R-0322)

The Spanish translation of the B-side is "Like The Blues Of Tom's Thumb"! Tom Thumb is a character from English folklore, and his name in Spanish is apparently "Pulgarcito". He's a tiny man the height of a thumb... Manuel says the correct translation should be "Como el blues de Pulgarcito", as shown on the page from "Letras", the Spanish release of "Lyrics 1962-2001". The single comes in a generic CBS Mexico plastic sleeve.

CBS SSC.668 (South Africa) - A-side scan by Manuel García Jara (R-0322, length shown as 2:57)
The South African single has a solid centre, but may also occur with a push-out centre like UK releases. The singles with the triangular push-out centre have no country of origin on the record labels but can be identified as from Rhodesia because of this unique centre. Gerard Germano's copy has stickers on both sides. The record has handwritten matrix numbers: A-side - ZSP114563, B-side - ZSP114564. Both Rhodesian records shown come in a generic CBS "SEVEN SINGLE" sleeve.

Various Artists - "A Swingin' Party From Masterwork" - 7" mono singles boxed set, Columbia Special Products CSP 437 (USA), 1966:
This was a box containing five current Columbia 7" singles, distributed to Columbia employees. The box is in two parts and the rear is blank. Manuel García Jara points out that the single selection in these boxes was random and you should not buy a box unless you know it contains a Dylan single. The Dylan single here is Columbia 4-43683 as above. The front and rear sleeves plus the B-side of this single are as shown above, but the A-side has a "MASTERWORK" stamp.

This Limited Edition box containing five current Columbia 7" singles was identical in content to the Swingin' Party box above. Philco was a subsidiary of the Ford Motor Company, and this was a customer special offer. The single here is again Columbia 4-43683. Manuel García Jara points out that the single selection in these boxes was completely random, so there is no point in buying one unless you know it contains a Dylan single!

"I Want You"/"Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" - 7" mono single, CBS BA 301111 (Greece), 1966:


CBS BA 301111 (Greece) - A-side scan by Manuel García Jara
This single again had no picture sleeve and came in a generic CBS sleeve. The record has orange CBS labels. The length of the A-side is not given, but I assume it is the 2:54 edit R-0322. The length of the B-side is not given, but I assume it is the 2:26 edit R-0051M, so also see here. At this time CBS records were distributed from Athens by a company called "Music-box". This sleeve therefore has the words 'Distributed by "Music-box" Athens' overprinted.

Thanks to Manuel García Jara for information and scans.

CBS 5769 (France) - B-side scan by Hans Seegers (Just Like A Woman is 4:52)

This mono EP from Blonde On Blonde had I Want You and Obviously 5 Believers on the A-side and Just Like A Woman on the B-side. The French release has a "languette" (index tab) unique to France. For more information about languettes, see 1965. The rear sleeve shows four other EPs by Bob Dylan released in France. On the second rear sleeve variant the third and fourth EPs are reversed!

I Want You is 3:01, so is not the 2:54 slight edit R-0322 listed on this page. Just Like A Woman is 4:52, so is not the 4:46 slight edit R-0323 (see 1966). This EP was released in West Germany under the title of Great New Sounds Vol. 1, see below.

CBS 5769 (West Germany) - front scan by Hans Seegers

This mono EP from Blonde On Blonde had I Want You and Obviously 5 Believers on the A-side and Just Like A Woman on the B-side. I Want You is 3:10, so is not the 2:54 slight edit R-0322 listed on this page. Just Like A Woman is 4:52, so is not the 4:46 slight edit R-0323 (see 1966). The rear sleeve has the same information about 34 EPs as the second release of West German EP CBS 6279 in 1965 Mono 7" Singles & EPs. The previous EP listed on the rear sleeve, CBS EP 6020, contains Positively 4th Street and is listed here. Manuel García Jara has a copy with the same sleeve where both sides of the record play correctly but have labels from an EP called The Best Of Dave Brubeck, CBS EP 5759! The four tracks are taken from the 1966 Columbia/CBS compilation album Dave Brubeck's Greatest Hits.

This EP was released in France under the title of I Want You with the same catalogue number and front sleeve, see above.

CBS 5769 (Portugal) - B-side scan by Manuel García Jara (third variant)

This EP was released three times with the same sleeve but slightly different labels. Only the first variant has "(P) 1967" at top left. The first two variants have "FABRICADO EM PORTUGAL [MADE IN PORTUGAL]" at the bottom of the labels, but the third variant (which may have been released later in the 1960s) has "FABRICADO EM PORTUGAL POR F.P.D. [MADE IN PORTUGAL BY F.P.D.]" at the bottom. "F.P.D." means "Fábrica Portuguesa de Discos" but the complete name of this company was actually "Fábrica Portuguesa de Discos da Rádio Triunfo", then known as just "F.P.D." and later as just "Rádio Triunfo".

"Bob Dylan" - 7" mono EP, CBS 5779 (Portugal), 1967:

PortEP5779Front.jpg (30082 bytes)
CBS 5779 (Portugal) - front scan by Hans Seegers
The tracklist of this mono EP says it has Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 and Pledging My Time from the mono release of Blonde On Blonde on the A-side and Gates Of Eden from Bringing It All Back Home on the B-side.

However, Keith Venturoni has a copy with first variant labels that plays the wrong tracks on the A-side, a 2:26 edit of the live version of Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues from Liverpool, 1966, B-side of the I Want You single (R-0054, 5:36, see above) plus I Want You. (2:26 is the length of the expected Rainy Day Women edit, R-0051M, see 1966.) The B-side is Gates Of Eden as expected. Arie de Reus and Hans Seegers have copies like this as well, and as the edited live track is a rarity, details are also listed here as well as in 1966.

Are there any copies out there that play the correct tracks on the A-side? Information required!
