These 7" Subterranean Homesick Blues singles are listed separately because of the length of the Mono Singles 1965 page. For details of the promo and regular singles with Like A Rolling Stone split into two parts, which are rarities, see 1965. For the other 1965 Mono Singles & EPs pages, see here:
For 1965 Dylan mono 7" singles and EPs with rarities see 1965. For illustrations of all the generic 7" single sleeves used by Bob's record companies from the 1960s onwards, see the 7" Single Sleeves page. (A single has much less value to a collector if it doesn't have its correct original sleeve.)

"Subterranean Homesick Blues"/"She Belongs To Me" - 7"
mono singles, Columbia 4-43242 (USA/Canada), 8 Mar 1965:
Ian Woodward says: "The single
first showed in the US charts
at #83 in the 3 Apr 1965 issue of "Billboard". The chart in "Billboard" for 3
Apr 1965 would have been on sales between 16 and 22 Mar 1965. Whatever sales it
achieved in the previous week were insufficient to get it into the top 100. It
was noted, however, as a regional breakout in the previous week's issue (i.e.
the one with the masthead date of 27 Mar 1965 that was on newsstand sale from 20
Mar 1965). This would have been put together for printing around 16 to 18 Mar
1965 and was likely based on radio plays as much as actual sales in the previous
week (that is, the first week it became available).
The Subterranean Homesick Blues single entered the "Cash Box" and "Record World"
charts in the same week as it did the
"Billboard"
charts (but different entry positions)."
Sound Makers acetate:
 US acetate 1 in manila sleeve - picture from eBay |
Thanks for Gerd Rundel for finding a 12" double-sided acetate for sale on eBay in Oct 2016. This disc was created by Sound Makers Inc., 6 West 57th Street, New York, on behalf of Columbia Records. |
 US acetate 1 - A-side picture from eBay |
|
|
 US acetate 2 - A-side picture from eBay (single-sided) |
The seller says: "This is the only known acetate to have ever surfaced of Dylan's iconic 1965 hit, Subterranean Homesick Blues. It is from 1965, and was created by Sound Makers Inc. from New York City. There are 7 tracks on side 1, and 1 track on side 2. These all seem to be the same take, but are different mixes. The first few mixes features piano in the intro, and later mixes do not. I believe that some of these mixes have never been released. Tracks 5 & 6 both feature heavy/fuzzy electric guitar much more noticeably. The track that is on side 2 has areas where the volume suddenly gets brighter/louder, as if an engineer or producer was tinkering with different ideas. Track 3 has a short spoken intro, probably by the producer. Record is housed in a plain manila sleeve. Both labels have handwritten titles."
Gerd has found a second acetate on eBay in May 2022. This one is 8" in diameter, single-sided and comes in a buff "audiodisc" sleeve. It has a CBS promo label with typed text.

Philco was
a subsidiary of the Ford Motor Company, and this was a customer special offer.
The box, which could be yellow or blue, contained five current Columbia 7" singles.
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!

The UK single was available as a CBS white label promo (with a large "A" on the A-side) and with the commercial orange CBS label with push-out or solid centres. There was no picture sleeve.

"Subterranean Homesick Blues"/"She Belongs To Me" - 7" mono single, CBS 1883 (Norway/Denmark/Sweden), 1965:
 CBS 1883 (Norway) - front scan by Olav Langum |
Information from Hans Seegers: "Until 1973 all Scandinavian releases were pressed at the PolyGram pressing plant in Oslo, but up to 1968 the CBS companies in Norway, Denmark and Sweden printed their own picture sleeves. The labels of these Scandinavian singles are therefore completely identical, and all have 710 in the matrix number. Until 1968 all Norwegian releases came with cardboard inserts unless stated otherwise. Note that the Norwegian inserts feature the song titles of the A-side only." The catalogue number of the Swedish single is shown as CBS S 1883, but the "S" does not appear on the record labels. Also "CBS" is mis-spelled as "CSB" on the sleeve, which is folded! Thanks to Hans Seegers, Olav Langum and Magne karlstad for information scans. |

"Subterranean Homesick Blues"/"She Belongs To Me" - 7" test pressing and commercial mono single, CBS LL-764-C (Japan), Jul 1965:
The Japanese 7" single CBS LL-764-C was the first Bob Dylan single to be released in Japan, by CBS/Nippon Columbia, before it was taken over by Sony Music. The single has a 4-page folded insert and orange CBS labels. It is very rare indeed. Wil Gielen has also found photos of two test pressings with plain white labels online.
Test Pressings:
 CBS LL-764-C (Japan) - A-side photo from Wil Gielen (first copy of test pressing) |
Both test pressings look identical but the second has a stamped date in red of "40.7" on both sides. This means July 1965. The “40” is the Japanese year "Showa 40" (40th year of the reign of the Emperor Showa) which corresponds to 1965 in the 'western' calendar and the "7" is for July. Wil says: "It's interesting that even now Japan uses its own system for calendar years, and each ends when the Emperor dies, and starts again when the new Emperor is announced. The current Emperor was crowned in 1988 and so that was "year zero" for his era (the Heisei era), and now we are in year "Heisei 30" (2018). This is used on newspapers, official documents, application forms, birthdays etc (but not on CD release dates) more often than our "Western" 2018 year. It's very confusing for non-Japanese, because you need also to know the era and the year to identify the correct year." |

Commercial Singles:

CBS LL-764-C (Japan) - front of folded insert, scan by Hans Seegers |
Bizarrely, the record labels of Wil Gielen's commercial copy (not shown) each have a sticker over the CBS logo and a ring of tape covering the copyright information round the circumference of the label. The reason why this should have been done is obscure. Wil's copies of Just Like A Woman/Obviously 5 Believers (CBS LL-987-C, 1966, see 1966 Just Like A Woman) and Rainy Day Women #12 & 35/Pledging My Time (CBS LL-928-C, 1966, see 1966 Rainy Day Women #12 & 35) also have the same defacing, so have come from the same source. Apparently similar taping has been found on items imported from Hong Kong, so these may have been exported from Japan to another Far East country. Sonny Boy McFitzson believes that these copies were actually bought after Sony Music bought CBS Japan from Nippon Columbia, so the stickers are to cover Nippon Columbia's trademarks. |

This mono single will be re-released on "cherry pink" vinyl to mark Bob's tour of Japan in April 2020. It is expected to be limited to 2,500 copies and the front artwork is the same as in 1965. Sonny Boy McFitzson points out that for Sony Music to re-release this CBS single is as big a deal as when Columbia/CBS bought the rights to reissue Planet Waves and Before The Flood from Asylum in 1982.

"Subterranean Homesick Blues"/"She Belongs To Me" - 7" mono singles, CBS BA-221172 (Australia)/CBS BA-461059 (New Zealand), 1965:
 CBS BA-221172 (Australia) - A-side scan by Hans Seegers |
CBS
BA-461059 was the first Bob Dylan single to be released in New Zealand. It
and the Australian single CBS BA-221172 have CBS orange labels. There were
no picture sleeves. Stuart Moore has an Australian demo copy with a "NOT
FOR SALE" rubber stamp on the B-side. Manuel García Jara has a similar
copy with the stamp on the A-side. Manuel also has a copy of the New Zealand
single with a yellow sticker from NZBC, the New Zealand Broadcasting
Company, on the B-side. Early Australian release record labels had the text "MADE IN AUSTRALIA BY A REGISTERED USER OF THE TRADE MARKS". 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. New Zealand releases have the text "MADE IN NZ BY A REGISTERED USER OF THE TRADEMARKS". The CBS and Epic record labels were manufactured and distributed in New Zealand by Phonogram (part of the Philips group, now Universal), who were the registered user. Thanks to Bill Hester, Hans Seegers, Stuart Moore and Manuel García Jara for information and scans. |

 CBS 4-43242 (Philippines) - commercial B-side with radio station sticker, scan by Manuel García Jara |
These very rare CBS 7" mono singles were made in the Philippines by Mareco Inc. and use the US catalogue number. There were no picture sleeves. The mono promo single has plain white labels with the text rubber-stamped. The A-side has been misprinted with a partial backwards stamp! The commercial single has unique green labels and the copy shown has a handwritten radio station sticker, "DYRM". "RM" in the station's call sign is for Ramon Magsaysay, the original owner of the radio station and President of the Philippines, who was killed in an air crash in 1957.

 CBS 1.904 (NL) - front scan by Hans Seegers (first variant) |
CBS 1.904 was the first Dylan single to be released in Holland. This Dutch single was released in a bewildering number of variants! There were two main sleeve variants - the first has song titles in cobalt blue and occurs both as a folded sheet and as a regular pocket style sleeve. The second has song titles in dark blue-violet and occurs only as a folded sheet. The rear of the sleeve is identical to the front in both cases. There are also four other sleeves with minor variants not shown. | ||||

 CBS 1.904 (NL) - B-side scan by Manuel García Jara (fifth variant - solid centre) |
The record label variants were very complicated but essentially summarise to this:
The record of Manuel García Jara's copy has a unique solid centre (variant 5). Apart from this difference, this copy has the second sleeve variant (a folded insert with dark blue lettering) This sleeve has a sticker from a previous owner. The labels have "45 RPM", "1.904" and a large CBS logo on both sides, similar to variant 3, but there are some differences:
A-side: "45 RPM" and "1.904" are in slightly different positions: more orientated to the right. The text "RECORDING FIRST..." is in a lower position.
B-side: the text under the centre hole is lower, overlapping the circumference text.
There were further tiny label variants, but these aren't shown. The pairing of sleeve and label variants appears to be random. The Dutch single was also distributed in West Germany - there was no separate German release.

"The Times They Are A-Changin'"/"Subterranean

Jun 1965:
Ian Woodward has found an article from "Cashbox", Jun 1966, that dates this
single from then, released at the same time as Highway 61 Revisited/Can You
Please Crawl Out Your Window?.
 CBS 1904 (Italy) - front scan by Hans Seegers (black text) |
This Italian release had The Times They Are A-Changin' as the A-side. The rear sleeve has the entire Ray Coleman article from the US and South African singles of Subterranean Homesick Blues/She Belongs To Me above. The Dylan single with green lettering on the front of the picture sleeve is very rare, the normal text colour for CBS 1904 was black. Also rare is the illustrated jukebox single of CBS 1904 with white labels. This came with a generic sleeve. The Italian commercial single had two label variants, shown on the left. The differences are in the text used for the catalogue number and the "BIEM" licence mark. The first variant was also available as a promo release with a sticker with text "DISCO CAMPANILE NON VENDIBLE". |

Thanks to the eagle-eyed Dr. Hanns Peter Bushoff for spotting that the A-side of his copy has a tiny difference from Stefan's A-side - the text "longue durée [extended play]" to the left of the centre hole is in a different type face. To see this most clearly, look at the letter "g" - on the A-side of Stefan's copy and on both B-sides it looks like this: "g" (a serif font), on the A-side of Hanns Peter's copy it looks like this: "g" (a sans-serif font).

"Como Un Vagabundo [Like A Rolling Stone]"/"Tristezas De Ausencia [Subterranean Homesick Blues]" - 7" mono promo and commercial singles, CBS 321.440 (Argentina/Uruguay), 1965:
 CBS 321.440 (Argentina) - promo A-side scan by Hans Seegers |
This 33⅓ RPM single was issued in Argentina as a white label
promo and as a commercial release. Some copies of the commercial release
were also issued as promos with a stamp on the B-side only. The white label
promo has the text DISCO PROMOCIONAL PROHIBIDA LA VENDA" stamped in red. The
orange label "demonstration single" has the text "DISCO PARA DEMOSTRACION -
VENTA PROHIBIDA" stamped in black. The Uruguayan version of this
release, distributed by Sondor S.A., has a slightly different label design. Note the Spanish translation of these two titles is totally different from those on the Mexican single and EP on this page! My meagre Spanish tells me that the Mexican titles are literal, while these Argentinean titles are more subjective - "Como Un Vagabundo" means "Like A Vagabond", whereas "Como Una Piedra Que Rueda" means "Like A Stone That Rolls". Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. |

 CBS EPC 496 (Mexico) - front of folded card sleeve (my copy) |
A-side: Como Una Piedra Que Rueda
[Like A Rolling Stone] B-side: Positivamente La Cuarte Calle [Positively 4th Street]; El Blues Del Subterráneo Melancólico [Subterranean Homesick Blues] All songs are the original English versions, not Spanish! There is also a Mexican album with this title, which is actually the regular version of Highway 61 Revisited Hans Seegers adds: "There are 8 variations of the Mexican Like A Rolling Stone EP. The first one came in a bag type cardboard sleeve with folded-over flaps, orange labels and was released in 1965 in 2 label and 2 sleeve variations. In 1966 CBS Mexico started using folded out paper sleeves and "1966" on the labels. This one came in many label and cover variations. Catalogue number and release date remain the same until into the 1980s, e.g. orange labels for half the 1970's, yellow/red labels afterwards. Front sleeve: CBS logo and catalogue number in blue, but also in red. Many “collectors” don't believe it until they've seen it!" The copy shown (mine) is a later release with a folded card sleeve and "(P) 1966" on the orange labels. On the rear of the sleeve is an advert for a contemporary CBS jazz EP by pianist Ray Bryant. |
