This is part of a separate multi-year list by release date of international (now including the USA, which was once listed separately) promo and commercially-released stereo 7" and 12" singles and EPs for 1973 that have been referred to me but do not qualify for my Searching For A Gem list because they contain only performances which are available on officially released Dylan albums. Nevertheless, their interest value or scarcity means they're worth listing here - as far as I know many are not included on any other Internet site. Special thanks to Hans Seegers for many of these items! (As far as I know, no 12" singles were released in this time period.) Stereo promo versions of commercially released singles that were formerly listed in the Promotional Items sections of the yearly pages are now listed here. Singles from this period released exclusively for promotional purposes are now here also. I would also like to include cassette singles here, but I don't have any, and none have been notified to me so far (I don't think any belong to this time period).
If you have any entries to add to the list or additions/corrections to
existing entries, please let me know!
Please note I cannot value your Dylan rarities -
see the Mission page for reasons why. Contact the
dealers on my Trading page for assistance!

The rare 1973 release had plain orange CBS labels and came with an orange picture sleeve. The catalogue number was "CBS 1158" on the sleeve and "S CBS 1158" on the record labels. Two label variants are shown, one with a push-out centre and one with a solid centre.
Later releases of this "Hall Of Fame Hits" single had orange/yellow CBS labels and generic sleeves. Ger Hemel's copy has a significantly smaller "BOB DYLAN" vertically to the left of the centre hole than Kenneth Robson's copy. Ger's single comes in a generic CBS UK sleeve of a style used from 1978 (see International 7" Single Sleeves).
The 1979 release labels have the EU Label Code "LC|0149" in a capsule above the catalogue number to the right of the centre hole, missing on the late 1970s release. On all labels the name of producer Bob Johnston was misspelled as "Johnson". Larry Crum has a copy of this single with the orange/yellow labels and states that this appears to be the same as the original stereo version from the 1966 Blonde On Blonde LPs, although it plays noticeably slower, which may account for the extra length.
For locations of other "Hall Of Fame" singles: those containing rarities, those in mono, and those in stereo, see "Hall Of Fame".

"Wigwam"/"Copper Kettle" - 7" stereo singles, CBS
S 5122
(NL for Denmark/Sweden), 1973:
These two songs were the regular album versions from Self Portrait.
For the Dutch stereo single, see
International 7" Stereo Singles & EPs 1970.
CBS S 5122 (NL for Denmark), 1973:
 CBS S 5122 (NL for Denmark) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
Denmark had a mono release of Wigwam in 1970 (see Mono 7" Singles & EPs 1970-76) and this stereo reissue in 1973. This was imported into Denmark from Holland, with a sleeve unique to Denmark, although printed in Holland. Lars M. Banke adds regarding the sleeve of the Danish single, which I wrongly listed as being for school radio only: "The text means "The theme from TV's "Focus"". The story behind the single is that "Wigwam" was used as the signature tune or theme for a programme titled "Focus" broadcast by the Danish national television channel. And as there was only one national Danish channel when the single was released, there was no need to mention which channel on the sleeve - just "TV"." |

Lars also has a 20-page Bob Dylan booklet that was released by Danmark Skoleradio [Denmark School's Radio] for school radio in 1971. There are two alternate front sleeves for this single, one is has a mustard-coloured background and is smooth, the other has a brown background and is rough.
CBS S 5122 (NL for Sweden), 1973:
|
|
Sweden had no 1970 release, mono or stereo, but did have a 1973 stereo release, again imported from Holland. Hans's copy has the name of the Swedish/Danish record store "FONA" printed on the rear sleeve at bottom right. Manuel García Jara's Swedish promo copy has a green promotional stamp on the rear sleeve at top right, and the same stamp on the A-side label of the record. The rear sleeve doesn't have the "FONA" text. The Swedish record has a different text layout to right of the centre hole from the commercial single with the intro and total playing times in a much larger type face. |

Tom Willems has a copy of this with the B-side label on both sides! The record plays correctly. There is also a second variant with misprinted labels with the B-side label replaced by the A-side label of a single by Tanya Tucker called The Missing Piece Of Puzzle. Dag Braathen's copy has an alternate label design with the text in a different type face.
This record was made available for juke box use with three different strips: the first design is orange/black with a shaded background and the text "HIT" and "POP" on the centre line. The second shaded version omits the text and is in red/black, while the third is also in red/black with a white background.

 S CBS 1762 (UK) - promo A-side scan by Hans Seegers (push-out centre) |
The UK stereo promo had white labels with the release date of "14th Sept, 1973", and the commercial single had orange CBS labels - neither had a picture sleeve. The black plastic clip shown in the scan by Kenneth Robson is not an official CBS accessory. These clips were sold in record shops so that ex-jukebox records that had had their push-out centres removed could be played on standard turntables, especially automatic turntables that could play multiple singles or LPs (as an alternative to the plastic rings that could be placed on the turntable spindle in order to play ex-jukebox records). |

This 1980 single has the live version of the song from Bob Dylan At

The records of both Sergio's and my copies have the same handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1: CI 8333-1N 26-2-80, Side 2: CI 8333-2N 26-2-80. "26-2-80" (26 Feb 1980) is the mastering date, as usual in Italian matrix numbers. |

Manuel García Jara's copy of the 1973 single is slightly different from Han's copy. On the A-side all text elements to the right of the centre hole are positioned lower and more to the right, e.g. "(P) 1973 CBS, Inc" is near to "EN" (text in the circumference) instead of the "o" of "Fabricado" and the "(P) is above the "RT" of "PUERTA" instead of "E". On the B-side the gap "(P) 1973 CBS, Inc" and "LA CAZA DEL PAVO" is noticeably bigger on Manuel's copy than on Hans'.

"Knockin' On Heaven's Door"/"Turkey Chase" - 7" stereo singles, CBS 1762 (Sweden), Sep 1973:
|
|
The record of the Swedish release CBS 1762 was made in Sweden as illustrated but it used the Dutch sleeve shown above. The Swedish single occurs with three variants: open, push-out and solid centres. Jan Halfdan Petersen's copy shown with the solid centre came in a 1973 CBS "THE MUSIC PEOPLE" generic sleeve (see 7" Single Sleeves), but it may be because the original Dutch sleeve for this Swedish single has been lost. Tommy Lidgren has a copy with the solid centre in a completely different sleeve with "THE MUSIC COMPANY", and also a copy with the open centre in a French sleeve as also shown above. |

I understood previously that all CBS Scandinavian singles were pressed at the PolyGram plant in Oslo, Norway, and distributed throughout Scandinavia in locally printed sleeves. However, three Dylan 1970s singles including this one were pressed in Sweden at a different plant, and all have "MADE IN SWEDEN" at the bottom of the labels.

This single has orange CBS labels with song titles translated into Spanish. The Spanish translations of the song titles are slightly different from those of the Spanish single above. It has a generic "Exitos De... [Hits Of...] folded sleeve with a picture of Bob Dylan. The sleeve could be used for any Dylan single, but this was the first single for which it was used. The front has extra text "LADO A: [SIDE A:]" and "LADO B: [SIDE B:]" so that the song titles can be handwritten. There is a similar sleeve with "Exitos De Santana". "Radio Éxitos" and "Radio Variedades" are two radio stations based in Mexico City belonging to GRC (Grupo Radio Centro), the most important broadcasting company in Mexico.
Thanks to Éamonn Ó Catháin for finding a copy in a generic sleeve on eBay - the single is the same as shown. Another copy in the orange sleeve shown went for a high price on eBay, but although the record itself is genuine, the "picture sleeve" is highly suspicious - the photo used is a crop of one of Bob and Sara in Woodstock in 1965 taken by Daniel Kramer as shown, an unusual choice for a CBS company to use in 1973 when the other singles with picture sleeves on this page used contemporary photos.
Thanks to Manuel García Jara for information and scans.

The test pressing dated "9-21" (21 Sep 1973) is a very rare item, with a completely different insert from other promo and commercial releases of the single. It has plain white labels with hand-stamped catalogue numbers and Japanese characters indicating a sample, plus red handwritten text in Japanese. The record came in a green generic CBS/Sony Japanese sleeve. For this generic sleeve, see 7" Single Sleeves. Francisco Fernandez has a copy with the same insert and CBS/Sony sleeve as Hans Seegers' copy and the same white labels, but with different Japanese handwritten text in red.
The promo single also came in a green generic CBS/Sony Japanese sleeve.
The commercial single is also comparatively rare. The record came in a generic sleeve with a folded insert - the inside of the insert (not shown) has the story of the film in Japanese and the lyrics in Japanese and English.
Thanks to Hans Seegers, Ronald Born, Sam C. Visser and Francisco Fernandez for information and pictures.
