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). For information on differences between the various releases of this album,
see Roger Ford's "Electric Dylan" web-site

Vinyl Releases
"Bringing It All Back Home" - mono vinyl LP, Columbia CL 2328
(USA),
22
Mar 1965 onwards (four releases):
The famous front photograph was taken by Daniel Kramer. The woman in red is
Sally Grossman, wife of Bob's then manager Albert. The rumour at the time was that
it was
Bob in drag! Sally sadly died on 12 Mar 2021, aged 81. The picture at the top of
this page of the red jumpsuit worn by Sally in the 1965 photo is from "Isis"
216, 2021.
Track listing:
Side 1: Subterranean Homesick Blues; She Belongs To Me; Maggie's Farm; Love Minus
Zero/No Limit; Outlaw Blues; On The Road Again; Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream.
Side 2: Gates Of Eden; Mr. Tambourine Man; It’s All Right, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding);
It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue.

Columbia CL 2328 (USA) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
The promo white label LP has a Radio Station Service timing strip sticker, and also a sticker with "Featuring SUBTERRANEAN HOMESICK BLUES" (already released as a mono single, see Mono Singles 1965). Gerd Rundel's copy has white labels with stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-79421-1D, Side 2 - XLP-79422-1B. The US mono album was released four times, although the same sleeve was used for all releases. The "GUARANTEED HIGH FIDELITY" label was discontinued by Columbia before Highway 61 Revisited was released in Aug 1965, so no later albums have it. The second and third release labels have "MONO" and the "360° SOUND" plus arrows logo in white, the difference being that on the third release "NONBREAKABLE" is missing from left of the centre hole. The fourth release labels dating from late 1967 onwards have just "MONO" in white without the arrows. |

Columbia CL 2328 (USA) - detail of rear, scan by Gerd Rundel
Gerd Rundel's copy of the earliest commercial mono release has the "GUARANTEED HIGH FIDELITY" record labels and stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-79421-1A, Side 2 - XLP-79422-1A (see the photos above). Gerd also has a copy of Columbia CL 2328 with two different label designs - Side 1 has the second release label with white "STEREO" text while Side 2 has the first release label with "GUARANTEED HIGH FIDELITY". The sleeve is the same as Hans Seegers'. The record has matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-79421-1C (handwritten), Side 2 - XLP-79422-1C (stamped). David Peters also has a copy with the same matrix numbers with "GUARANTEED HIGH FIDELITY" on both labels. He thinks the Side 1 matrix number is handwritten because the vinyl runoff area on Side 1 is too narrow to stamp it. Sergio Mariano Romay's copy has exactly the same handwritten and stamped matrix numbers.
Manuel García Jara has a copy of the first commercial release with a demonstration sticker on Side 2 that reads "FOR DEMONSTRATION USE ONLY FOR SALE". "NOT FOR SALE" would be expected, and the text is aligned as if the word "NOT" should be present, however there is no sign on the sticker that it was originally present and has been erased. Gerd Rundel has a copy that also has a demonstration sticker on Side 2, but this time the sticker is correct. The record of this copy has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-79421-1A, Side 2 - XLP-79422-1A.
Victoria Stafford has a copy of the second
commercial release
with "360° SOUND" labels. The sleeve is in the original
shrink-wrap and the record is in a perforated plastic sleeve as shown above.
| Chad Hahn has a second release copy with "360° SOUND" labels and matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-79421-1A, Side 2 - XLP-79422-1A. I can only assume one Columbia pressing plant in the USA continued using the "1A" masters after the label changed. David Dixon has a second release copy where both sides of the record have the Side 2 labels! |

 Columbia CL 2328 (USA) - front photo by Mike Yamhill (promo copy) |
Thanks to Mike Yamhill for photos of a promo copy of "CL 2328" with a promo stamp from the Eastern Electric Company on the rear sleeve and a gold circular promo sticker on the front sleeve. This copy also has a record store sticker proclaiming a special price of $1.77, so must have found its way to a record store after being distributed as a promo. The labels are of the third design above with "360º SOUND" and the arrows now missing. |

(second copy)
The first US copy of CL 2328 was exported to Europe. The “Columbia” logos on the front and rear of the sleeve are pasted over with “CBS” stickers. The sleeve was printed in the USA. The record has a red ring-shaped sticker with four black/white "CBS" logos pasted on the labels. The copy of the record shown has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-79421-1G, Side 2 - XLP-79422-1G. I also have details of an export Columbia US mono copy of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan with similar sleeve stickers and the same record label stickers.
Michel Pomarede has found another export copy in France with the same "CBS" stickers on the rear sleeve and record labels. The only difference is that at bottom right of the rear sleeve the instance of "Columbia" shown above covered with a "CBS" sticker has just been whitened out. The record labels have exactly the same red ring-shaped stickers with four black/white "CBS" logos. The copy of the record shown has earlier stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-79421-1A, Side 2 - XLP-79422-1D. Lars M. Banke has subsequently acquired this album.
Thanks to Gerd Rundel, Michel Pomarede and Lars M. Banke for information and scans.
"Bringing It All Back Home" - Sundazed mono vinyl LP reissue, Columbia LP 5070 (USA), Mar 2001, re-released 2012:
Thanks to Renaud Depierreux for information that Sundazed are now selling off five white label test pressings of this album.
This Sundazed mono album was re-released in 2012. The sleeve is the same as the 2001 release except for a different front sticker. There are two differences on the record labels compared to the 2001 release:
- "NONBREAKABLE" to the left of the centre hole is now missing
- "LOVE MINUS
ZERO" on Side 1 is no longer underlined.
Thanks to Wiebke Dittmer for information about a mispressed copy for sale on eBay Germany in Feb 2016 with Side 2 on both sides. I have no knowledge of any other copies with the error.

"Bringing It All Back Home" - mono vinyl LP, Columbia CL 2328 (Canada), 22 Mar 1965:
 Columbia CL 2328 (Canada) - front scan by Henry V. Bell |
Henry V. Bell has a Canadian copy with the "GUARANTEED HIGH FIDELITY"
labels with matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-79421-1E, Side 2 - XLP-79422-1D.
It has "LITHO IN CAN." at the bottom right of the front sleeve, "PRINTED IN
U.S.A." is missing from the rear sleeve, and it also has "PRINTED IN CAN." on the
record labels. Glenn Friesen has a Canadian mono copy where Side 2 is mislabelled and has the label of a 1967 Columbia Canada mono album by Marty Robbins called My Kind Of Country, Columbia CL 2645. The side still plays the correct Dylan tracks. The Side 1 label is the same as shown. Thanks to Henry V. Bell and Glenn Friesen for information and pictures. |

 CBS bpg 62515 (UK) - Side 2 scan by Jérémie Viala (CBS variant 2) |
I bought my copy of the UK mono album from a stall in the foyer at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, 7 May 1965. Ian Woodward says this was actually the release date of the album. Sadly this copy was one of my LPs that were later stolen in 1968. It wasn't then in as good condition as this mint copy provided by Hans Seegers! The sleeve was printed by Ernest J. Day & Co., Ltd. and the rear has three folded-over flaps. The printer information does not have "Patent Pending." as on the sleeve illustrated below.

|
 CBS bpg 62515 (UK) - detail of Side 2, photo by Duncan Pedrana (EMI variant - "K" and "T", "K" can be seen clearly, "T" less so) |
Gerd Rundel has three copies of this album - the sleeves look identical to Hans Seegers' copy shown but the records have the differences listed below:
EMI variant: This was a contract pressing possibly by EMI ordered by CBS, because CBS had capacity problems at this time - special characteristics are raised “M” and “T” to the left and right of the centre hole of Side 2, which can be seen (and felt) if the record is examined closely, but which are impossible to scan. ("M"/"T" was a British purchase tax code used by EMI and stamped on either side of the centre hole of their records.) The record has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - 62515-1A-1, Side 2 - 62515-1B-1. Thanks to Duncan Pedrana for pictures of his copy which definitely has "K" and "T" stamped on either side of the centre hole on Side 2. Apparently "M"/"T" was used from 1 Jan 1963 until 1 Jul 1963 when it was replaced by "K"/"T" (which lasted until 1968), so to have "M"/"T" on a 1965 record seems odd - "K"/"T" is definitely correct. Jakob Gerber has another copy possibly pressed by EMI copy which has the "K"/"T" codes on Side 1. This record also has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - 62515-1A-1, Side 2 - 62515-1B-1, plus "A" on Side 1 and "M" on Side 2 (EMI stamper codes). Denis Shabes of PNP Records has found an EMI contract pressing for UK on Discogs. This copy is exactly as illustrated above. The record has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - 62515-1A-1 plus 1 # GD opposite, Side 2 - 62515-1B-1 plus 1 RR # opposite (the "1 #GD" and "1 RR #" reference specific EMI stampers). The Side 1 label also has tax code "M"/"T" embossed.
Philips variant: This has no “RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED” on labels as other Philips albums made for CBS, but the record matrix numbers imply that it was made by Philips. The record has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - BPG62515 1L//1 11 3, Side 2 - BPG62515 2L//1 11 3. The raised ring in the centre of the label is inside the black square of the CBS logo.
CBS variant (probably a later pressing): The copy of the record shown has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - 62515-3A-1, Side 2 - 62515-3B-1. (There are also 2A-1/2B-1 pressings). The raised ring in the centre of the label is partially outside the black square of the CBS logo (CBS variant 1A above, same as Hans Seegers' copy). The record of Stuart Moore's copy of this variant has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - 62515-3A-1, Side 2 - 62515-2B-1. Ian Patterson has a copy with a record with rough CBS orange labels, where one label has "33" and the other label has "33⅓". The record of this copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - 62515-3A-1, Side 2 - 62515-3B-1, the same as CBS variant 1A.
It looks like the EMI and Philips variants are first pressings, even earlier than the CBS variants (probably pressed at the former Oriole plant, taken over in Sep 1964).
Augie Krater has a first release copy of what is probably another CBS variant with stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - 62515-3A-1, Side 2 - XLP-79422-1A (US matrix). William Taylor has a CBS-pressed copy in a sleeve with folded-over flaps with rough orange labels with "33" rpm. The stamped matrix numbers are: Side 1 - 62515-1A-1, Side 2 - XLP-79422-1A (again US matrix on Side 2). Gerd Rundel has a copy in the Ernest J. Day sleeve with three folded-over flaps on the rear with a double raised ring in the centre of the record labels (CBS variant 1B above). It has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - 62515-2A-1, Side 2 - XLP-79422-1A (yet again US matrix on Side 2). Jérémie Viala's second alternate CBS copy (variant 2) comes in a sleeve with three folded-over flaps. The record has dark orange labels and stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-79421-1E (US matrix on Side 1 this time), Side 2 - 62515-2B-1. This copy has "1965" written on the rear sleeve and the owner's name "Norma" written on the Side 2 record label. Max Hökdal has a copy with similar matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-79421-1E (US matrix), Side 2 - 62515-1B-1 (UK matrix). CBS UK must have used US stampers to press some of these discs as Discogs.com have details of a copy with UK CBS labels but US matrix numbers on both sides: Side 1 - XLP-79421-1E, Side 2 - XLP-79422-1A.
Martin Gayford has a copy of what looks like a CBS variant (the pressing ring intersects the CBS logo) with UK matrix numbers: Side 1 - 62515-3A-1, Side 2 - 62515-3B-1 plus "B 3" on the opposite side of the record.
 CBS BPG 62515 (UK) - front scan by Manuel García Jara (third CBS variant) |
Manuel García Jara has a copy of what he believes is the rarest CBS UK mono release, from a later date than the four copies above. The rear sleeve has no folded-over flaps, and the catalogue number at top right is printed above the CBS logo without "MONO", while on the other sleeves it's below the logo. "Patent Pending." is added to the printer information at bottom right. The record has the same matrix numbers as Gerd Rundel's CBS variant: Side1 - 62515-3A-1, Side2 - 62515-3B-1, but the labels have four significant differences from the labels of the three copies above:

Liam Quinn has a copy of the mono album with labels like Manuel's third CBS variant, that comes in a fully laminated sleeve with the boxed text at the bottom of the rear, as the first/second CBS variants above.
 CBS BPG 62515 (UK) - front scan by Gerd Rundel (1967 copy) |
The record labels of this copy have with "33⅓" in a different typeface than those of Manuel's copy. Gerd thinks both copies are from around 1967. The rear sleeve is the earlier design with three folded-over flaps and the catalogue number at top right printed below the CBS logo including "MONO". It was printed by Ernest J. Day & Co., Ltd., but does not have the "Patent Pending." information at bottom right as shown above. Either the usage of sleeves by CBS UK overlapped or this is not the original sleeve. | ||||

"Subterranean Homesick Blues" - mono vinyl LP
releases,
CBS
62515 (NL), Sep 1965, re-released 1966:
This album was released in Holland under the alternative title of what must have
been considered at the time to be its most marketable track. For stereo versions
(CBS S 62515, not released until 1967 onwards), see
International Album
Releases (Regular). It retained this title even for early CD releases. Tom Willems puts the release date as after 17
Sep 1965. It was released in Holland at the same time as the mono releases of
The Times They Are A-Changin' and Highway 61 Revisited. Manuel García
Jara has a purchase date of 25 Oct 1965.
CBS 62515 (NL), 1965 (first release):
|
CBS 62515 (NL) - front scan by Hans Seegers, first commercial release |
The first release of the album came in a open sleeve (plain white on the inside), which was folded into a clear hard plastic cover, approx 1cm (0.4") smaller than a standard 12" LP sleeve. The front is folded-over the back on three sides. (These covers were standard in Holland until 1966 for all CBS artists.) Apart from the title change the layout of the front and rear sleeves is the same as the regularly titled album. On the record labels the album is titled "Bringing It All Back Home" featuring "Subterranean Homesick Blues"! Thanks to Simon Blokker for spotting that She Belongs To Me is credited to "Bob Dylon". This mistake was never corrected and is repeated on every mono release of this album! |

CBS 62515 (NL), 1966 (second release):
 CBS 62515 (NL) - front scan by Hans Seegers (second commercial release) |
The second release of the mono album from 1966 or after was in a "regular" LP sleeve (unusual for Holland at the time). It still has the three folded flaps on the rear sleeve. This version is very rare. This time it's just titled Subterranean Homesick Blues on the labels. Lars M. Banke has a copy with the folded sleeve as above but with second release labels as shown. The Side 1 label differs from that of Hans Seegers in that there is a much wider gap between the two text lines to the left of the centre hole, and also the song titles are printed slightly lower (on Hans' copy they almost touch the CBS logo). |

Simon Blokker has a copy of the second release in the same sleeve with three folded-over flaps, but with slightly different record labels. Instead of "RECORD FIRST PUBLISHED 1965" to the left of the centre hole, these labels have just "(P) 1965" as shown. The record of this copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - 62515-A (handwritten) XLP-79421-1E (stamped), Side 2 - 62515-B (handwritten) XLP-79422-1F (stamped).

"Bringing It All Back Home" - mono vinyl LP, CBS 62515 (France), 1965:
 CBS 62515 (France) - front scan by Gerd Rundel |
This album has a gatefold sleeve with the lyrics in English and French liner notes on the inside. The outside of the gatefold sleeve is laminated but the inside is not. The record has orange CBS labels and stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XPARTX 56489 2I, Side 2 -XPARTX 56490 2I (the last character of each matrix number could also be a "1"). The opening for the record is in the centre of the inside gatefold sleeve. |

Arie de Reus has a test pressing of this album on two discs with classical music on the reverse of each disc. This test pressing has blank labels, so is not shown.
Simon Blokker has a copy where the opening of the gatefold is on the far left side instead of in the inside centre. Also, the lyrics pages on the inside gatefold have been switched: the left starts with Gates Of Eden, while the right side of the inner sleeve starts with Bob Dylan's 115th Dream, the opposite of Gerd Rundel's copy. The record of Simon's copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - XPARTX 56489 21 62515 M6 244326, Side 2 : XPARTX 56490 21 62515 M6 244327. Again the "1" in "21" could be a letter "I".

"Bringing It All Back Home" - mono vinyl LP, CBS BP 233213 (Australia), May 1965:

|
 CBS BP 233213 (Australia) - Side 2 scan by Stuart Moore (corrected album title) |
The first release of this album had a spelling mistake in the title on the labels - "BRING IT ALL BACK HOME". This was later corrected. Both releases had orange CBS labels with the Allan's logo (Allan's were music publishers in Australia for Bob Dylan records between 1965 and 1969). The colour difference is probably just because the first record's labels have been photographed while the second's have been scanned.
The record labels shown have round the circumference 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.

"Bringing It All Back Home" - mono vinyl LP, CBS CL 2328 (Singapore/Malaysia), 1965 (two variants):
 CBS CL 2328 (Singapore) - front scan by Hans Seegers (variant 1) |
Hans Seegers' copy of this rare album has a unique "MONAURAL 360 SOUND" logo on the front sleeve at centre top. Gerd Rundel's copy has a black/white "MONO" sticker over the text of the logo. The sleeve looks like the US design although the front and rear Columbia logos have been replaced by "CBS", and "COLUMBIA" has been removed from the rear sleeve at bottom right. Gerd Rundel's sleeve is made from thin card, unlike US sleeves of thick card, and has no spine text. The sleeve of Hans Seegers' copy was printed in the USA, but the rear text at bottom right of Gerd Rundel's copy has been changed to remove both "COLUMBIA" and "PRINTED IN USA". The records were pressed in the USA with locally-printed labels in the first US commercial release "GUARANTEED HIGH FIDELITY" style but with three CBS logos. The record labels of Gerd Rundel's copy, released perhaps in both Singapore and Malaysia, are different in that Subterranean Homesick Blues is listed above the centre hole on Side 1 and on both sides the playing speed of "33⅓ RPM" is missing to the right of the centre hole. The record of Gerd Rundel's copy has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-79421, Side 2 - XLP-79422. |

This very rare album was sold in South Africa and Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) during the Apartheid era. The sleeve is laminated on the front only, with folded-over flaps top and bottom on the rear. The sleeves were printed in South Africa by Record Pac, and the records were made in both countries. There was a CBS pressing plant in Southern Rhodesia at that time. The Southern Rhodesian album has a sticker on the sleeve "RECORD MADE IN SOUTHERN RHODESIA". Note that on Hans Seegers' South African copy the rear sleeve the lowest line of text is obscured by the bottom flap - this does not happen on Manuel García Jara's South African copy or the Southern Rhodesian sleeve. The records have orange CBS labels with no country of origin. Manuel García Jara's South African copy has the same Side 1 label as Hans Seegers', but on Side 2 the tracklist is arranged differently. Gerd Rundel's Southern Rhodesia copy has the same sleeve as shown, but with a record shop sticker from Fenners, Bulawayo. The record has the same labels as Hans' listed variant 1. "MADE IN S. RHODESIA" is stamped in the vinyl on both sides as shown in the detail scan (contrast heightened to shown stamped text). The copy shown has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - XLP-79421-1A, Side 2 - XLP-79422-1A (the US matrix numbers).
Thanks to Hans Seegers, Manuel García Jara and Gerd Rundel for information and scans.

The sleeve is laminated on the front only and was printed in Italy by Stampa Reparto Grafico C.G.D. The front and rear sleeve have CBS logos. The rear sleeve has two folded-over flaps. There is also a triangular stamp on the rear of Manuel's copy which may be a copyright stamp. The record has plain orange CBS labels and there are two 1967 label variants. The first release record label has the matrix numbers to the right of the centre hole printed upside down and there is a gap between these and the copyright logo "DR" in a box. On the second release labels these matrix numbers are printed the right way up and "DR" in a box is printed immediately underneath. Both records shown have the same stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - CBS 62515-1L 7/10/66, Side 2 - CBS 62515-2L 7/10/66 (7 Oct 1966 is the mastering date).
Sergio Mariano Romay has a 1970 copy in the same sleeve but with completely different orange CBS record labels. There is a different stamp on the rear sleeve, this time at bottom left instead of bottom right. The record comes in a CBS Sugar inner sleeve from 1970 or later, with New Morning one of the albums illustrated on the rear. There is now no text on the record labels above the CBS logo, with the album title and "BOB DYLAN" below the centre hole. There is now also a publication date of "(P) 1967" to the right of the centre hole and other label differences as shown in the detail scans. The record of this copy has the same stamped matrix numbers as before, including the "7/10/66" mastering date.
Lars M. Banke has an early 1970s copy in the same sleeve with different record labels. These are in the same style as Sergio's 1970 labels, with no text on the record labels above the CBS logo, the album title and "BOB DYLAN" below the centre hole, and a publication date of "(P) 1967" to the right of the centre hole. However, "MADE IN ITALY" under "BOB DYLAN" below the centre hole is missing, and has been replaced by "MADE IN ITALY BY CBS SUGAR S.p.A" in the circumference text on the right as shown. The record of this copy has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - CL 62515 1L 7/10/66, Side 2 - CL 62515 2L 7/10/66 (mastering date 7 Oct 1966 as for the 1967 copies).

The 2010 Dutch Music On Vinyl album was reissued in Europe by Sony Music, Gütersloh, Germany, on 20 Nov 2015 with a new catalogue number, 88875146231, and a black "LEGACY VINYL" sticker with gold text on the front. This is one of several new releases including The Times They Are A-Changin', Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde On Blonde and John Wesley Harding. This is the 2010 heavyweight vinyl release in a new sleeve and new labels, and the record matrix numbers are the same as those of the 2010 release including "MOVLP 243", although this does not appear on the record labels. None of these releases came with an included CD or an MP3 download link.
The 2015 record labels have different circumference text from the 2010 Dutch Music On Vinyl labels, and also have the Legacy and Sony Music logos above "GUARANTEED HIGH FIDELITY". The record of Jack from Canada's copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - 88016 1A MOVLP 243 88697761051-LP5-A, Side 2 - 88016 1B MOVLP 243 88697761051-LP5- B.
This album turned up in Mar 2017 with Highway 61 Revisited sleeve and record labels, see that page! The record of my 2017 copy has matrix numbers: Side 1 - 88697761051-LP-A (handwritten) 88016 1A MOVLP243 (stamped), Side 1 - 88697761051-LP-B (handwritten) 88016 1B MOVLP243 (stamped). Both sides also have STERLING (stamped) and RKS (handwritten). This means the record was mastered at Sterling Sound, Edgewater, NJ, by their senior engineer Ryan K. Smith.

This is the album that turned up in Mar 2017 above with the Highway 61 Revisited sleeve and record labels, now with the correct sleeve and labels. There was an edition on red vinyl released by FNAC in France on 30 Mar 2018. The sleeve and record labels are still dated 2015 and look exactly like the ones above, except for a barcode sticker with a new catalogue number on the rear sleeve at bottom left. The record of my red vinyl copy has exactly the same handwritten and stamped matrix numbers as the Mar 2017 copy above that came with the Highway 61 Revisited sleeve and record labels!
I have a report of the same album on black vinyl released in Europe on 1 Dec 2017 as Columbia/Legacy/Sony Music 88875146231 (Europe) - scans required!

 Sony Music SICP 2955 (Japan) - front with side obi, scan by Hans Seegers |
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 a plain inner sleeve with a Japanese language booklet and an insert with the original 1965 US sticker promoting "Subterranean Homesick Blues" (see above). Hans Seegers has a copy of this sold separately. Unusually, the obi does not have a price.
Thanks to Anthony Perry for information and scans.

Thanks to Éamonn Ó Catháin for information about this pending mono hybrid SA-CD release from the US audiophile company Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs. There will be a simultaneous release on hybrid SA-CD and vinyl of seven Dylan mono albums excluding Blonde On Blonde.
This limited edition hybrid SA-CD mono release of this album is the first time the mono version has been remastered in audiophile quality. It is therefore also listed in 2016.
For the Mobile Fidelity 2012 stereo SA-CD release, see International Album Releases (Regular).
Thanks to André Wilbers for information and scans.
