This page contains promotional and commercial releases of mono 7" singles and EPs with Dylan album tracks for 1969. Although Bob's original mono albums from Bob Dylan to John Wesley Harding were released on CD as The Original Mono Recordings in Oct 2010, the mono release of Nashville Skyline was a reduction from stereo so was not included. It is currently no longer possible to buy mono versions of the tracks from that album. Because of the length of this page, the major Dylan mono single releases for 1969 are now here:

For 1969 Dylan mono 7" singles and EPs with rarities see 1969. 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.)
Mono LPs have their own pages, see Mono Album Releases.
If you have any entries to add to the list or additions/corrections to

Manuel García Jara has a copy in the first variant sleeve with the first variant labels. The label on the A-side is the same as that of Hans' first variant copy, but the label on the B-side has the "JOHN WESLEY HARDING" text shifted to the right, as shown in the detail scans above. Manuel also has a copy in the second variant sleeve with the second variant labels. This time both the A- and B-sides are slightly different from those of Hans' second variant copy.

"I Threw It All Away"/"Drifter's Escape" - 7" mono singles, Columbia/CBS (Worldwide), May 1969 onwards:
|
|
Because of the length of this page, the 7" mono single releases for I
Threw It All Away/Drifter's Escape are now here. The B-side Drifter's Escape is the version from the mono mix of John Wesley Harding, but there was no unique mono mix of Nashville Skyline - mono copies were a reduction from stereo. Although some sources believe the mono single tracks from Nashville Skyline had special single mixes, there's no evidence as yet to support this. At present I assume the A-side I Threw It All Away is just the mono reduction. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scan. |

Because of the length of this page, the 7" mono single releases for Lay, Lady, Lay/Peggy Day are now here. See comments for I Threw It All Away/Drifter's Escape - at present I assume both sides are just the mono reductions. |

CBS BA 301258 (Greece) - A-side scan by Hans Seegers |
Dylan releases were very rare during the Greek "colonels" regime, and this must have been regarded as non-political. CBS records were distributed by a company called "Music-box" in Athens. This single contained the album tracks from Nashville Skyline, and had orange CBS labels. There are two label variations: the first (not shown) has no space between "Produced by Bob Johnston" and the CBS logo, the second (shown) has 4mm space. For details of the same single released in mono in the USA and Canada in 1973 in the "Hall Of Fame" series, see International Mono 7" Singles 1970-76. For details of the same single released in stereo in the UK in 1976 in the "Hall Of Fame" series, see US & International 7" & 12" Singles & EPs 1974-76. For the CBS Greece "Music-box" sleeve for this record, see 7" Single Sleeves. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. |

This single is part of the CBS/Sony "Airplay" series and has a "747" sleeve (see 7" Single Sleeves) with two alternate rear sleeves and a folded insert. The rear of the insert lists Dylan albums with release dates up to 1971, so it's possible this is a reissue - the catalogue number dates the single as 1969. It was available in both promo (yellow label) and commercial (orange label) releases. The front, rear and inside of the insert of Hans Seegers' copy have price "¥400". Both the promo and the first commercial records have three-spoke push-out centres.
Even though this was a stereo series, these tracks are still in mono, as the stereo mix of the A-side circulating amongst Dylan collectors has never been officially released. The B-side is timed at 3:15 and used to be a rarity (R-0488). However, R-0488 is included on the mono release of Highway 61 Revisited as part of the 9CD set The Original Mono Recordings in Oct 2010, so is no longer a rarity. For a mono single with the same two tracks released by CBS in 1966 before Sony took over the company, see 1966.
Manuel has two copies with a modified price of "¥500": both have two small stickers on the front and rear of the folded insert hiding the original price, but not on the inside of the insert as shown. The first copy has the orange colour record with the three spoke push-out centre, identical to the one already shown, as well as the same "Pan-Am" sleeve. The second copy has identical stickers but now the record has an open centre and it has a different "Air-Play/Pan-Am" sleeve, not preciously shown on the 7" Single Sleeves page.
Thanks to Hans Seegers and Manuel García Jara for information.
"Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You"/"Country Pie" - 7" mono/stereo singles, Columbia/CBS (Worldwide), 19 Nov 1969 onwards:
|
CBS 4611 (Norway) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
Because of the length of this page, the 7" mono single releases for
Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You/Country Pie are now here.
See comments for I Threw It All Away/Drifter's Escape - at present I assume
both sides are just the mono reductions. Some of these singles have the B-side Country Pie timed at 1:52, but the album version is 1:36. However Ian Woodward has timed two single B-sides, one timed at 1:52 and one at 1:36 and discovered they both play at 1:31-1:32. The 1:52 timing must be a mistake, although the 1974 quadraphonic version of Country Pie is indeed 1:52 (R-0114, see 1974). Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scan. |
Bob Dylan/The Beatles - "Issues No. 2" - 7" mono flexidisc EP, Ambassador Records (no catalogue number) (Australia/New Zealand), 1969:

This single-sided mono flexidisc was made by
Ambassador Records in Sydney, Australia for the
Christian Life Curriculum of the Joint Board of Christian Education of
Australia and New Zealand. It plays at 33⅓ RPM. Bob's contribution was The Times They Are A-Changin' as the first track on the A-side. The second track on the EP was She's Leaving Home by The Beatles. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. |
