This page contains items that aren't eligible for the main Searching For A Gem or International Stereo Releases lists because Bob does not personally perform on them, but are nevertheless of interest to Dylan collectors. This page contains details of covers of Blowin' In The Wind, in some cases with extremely fanciful translations of the title. In countries like France, Germany or Sweden Blowin' In The Wind was always translated, with rare exceptions, as "Écoute Dans Le Vent", "Die Antwort Weiss Ganz Allein Der Wind" or "Vinden Ger Svar". However, in Spanish-speaking countries this song was translated in many different ways. Although the most usual were "La Respuesta Está En El Viento [The Answer Is In The Wind]" or "Soplando En El Viento [Blowing In The Wind]", there were many others, some of them amazing, like "Saber Que Vendrás [To Know He Will Come]", "Saber Que Estárás [To Know You Will Stay]", "Quisiera Saber [I Would Like To Know]", "Solo El Tiempo Puede Contestarnos [Only Time Can Answer Us]" and even "Algo Flota En El Viento [Something Floats In The Wind]"!
Even though there are over 1000 cover versions of this song, I have no details of singles chart success. In the UK Blowin' In The Wind has only entered the singles chart twice, in 1963 for Peter, Paul and Mary (#13) and in 1966 for Stevie Wonder (#36).
Because of the great length of the original page, it has been divided in three parts, of which this is Part 2 (1966-69). Links to Parts 1 and 3 are below, along with a page devoted to the large number of releases by Peter, Paul & Mary containing Blowin' In The Wind:

Ghazi Group - "Blowin' In The Wind"/"Galway City" - mono 7" single, 3D Sound 1405 (Ireland), mid-1960s:
 3D Sound 1405 (Ireland) - 7" single A-side scan by Ronald Born (with Dylan cover) |
This mysterious 7" mono single in a plain white sleeve is undated, but
must come from the mid-1960s. It has "NOT FOR RESALE" on both labels, so
must be a promo of some kind. The group consists of three men with two
guitars and a bass who sing Blowin' In The Wind in a folk style. The B-side
is the Dubliners' Spanish Lady with different lyrics. There is no
evidence that this single was ever released commercially. Thanks to Ronald Born for information and scans. |

Mary Camp sings the version of Blowin' In The
Wind wit German lyrics by Hans Bradtke on the B-side.
There is no date on the sleeve or labels of this very rare single, but the
"66.xxxxx" catalogue number may indicate the year. I assume the
rear sleeve is blank. There are two record label variants, both in the same sleeve. The most common variant has text all round the circumference, the much rarer variant has the circumference text missing. |

Religious connections:
Since the mid 1960s, many young Catholic priests in Spain created arrangements of hits of the moment (The Sounds Of Silence, Help or Blowin' In The Wind) to be sung in the Mass at the church. They used only the music and the lyrics were arranged to suit religious purposes. Today it is usual to hear Blowin' In The Wind at catholic churches, sung by everyone like a hymn. The cover of Blowin' In The Wind as "Saber que vendrás, saber que estarás" is the standard arrangement.

Los 4 de Asís were four young Franciscan monks who recorded only two EPs for Discophon; they tried to connect religion with young people through pop music. Blowin' In The Wind is translated as "Solo El Tiempo Puede Contestarnos [Only Time Can Answer Us]". This EP surprisingly exists in six Discophon record label variants, one of which owned by Ronald Born comes in the Discophon inner sleeve shown. |

The EP of La Escolanía de Salamanca was a private release made by the priests of the Seminary of Salamanca. Blowin' In The Wind is translated as "Saber Que Estarás [To Know You Will Stay]" and it's an "a capella" version. The purpose of records like this was to teach young people how to sing these songs. Note that there are no composer credits, no SGAE logo, and no copyright text. Padre Nuestro is a cover of The Sounds Of Silence. The rear of this EP is blank. |

Bob Dylan sang Knockin' On Heaven's Door, A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall and Forever Young at a Catholic Youth Rally at Bologna, Italy, in 1997, and subsequently met Pope John Paul II. At the 1997 concert, John Paul referred to what is perhaps Dylan's most famous song, Blowing in the Wind, which became an anthem for young people seeking meaning in life in the 1960s. John Paul told the crowd of some 300,000 young Italian Catholics that the answer was indeed "in the wind" - but not in the wind that blew things away, rather "in the wind of the spirit" that would lead them to Christ.

Billy Lee Riley was a US rockabilly singer who had important hits on Sun Records in the 1950s such as Red Hot. In 1966 he recorded the album Funk Harmonica (GNP Crescendo 2020) including covers of recent hits, mostly "folk-rock" tracks, including Dylan covers Blowin' In The Wind, Mr. Tambourine Man and Like A Rolling Stone. In Mexico two rare EPs from the album were released with an important change in the title, Folk-Rock Harmonica instead of Funk Harmonica. This second EP includes Blowin' In The Wind with its usual Spanish translation of "La Respuesta Está En El Viento [The Answer Is In The Wind]". Track 1 on the A-side is "La Casa Del Sol Nasciente [House Of The Risin' Sun]", recorded by Bob on his first album. The sleeve is the usual Mexican unfolded insert. The rear sleeve of each EP has information about the different types of harmonica used on each track! | |||

Two tracks from the EP were released as a 7" single in both Sweden and Norway in 1967. This time Blowin' In The Wind is translated as "Och Vinden Ger Svar [And The Wind Gives The Answer]" on both the single sleeves and the B-side record label. The Swedish single (yellow text) has a regular bag-type sleeve, but there are two different versions of the Norwegian single (red text). The first has just an insert, plain white on the rear, and has the Swedish record. The second comes in a regular bag-type sleeve with a record pressed in Norway, with the boxed "NCB" logo to the left of the centre hole.

"Jonathan & Michelle" were Maurizio Pracchia from Italy and Michelle Loskady from France. They had a career on the Italian pop scene between 1965 and 1969. The duo did a cover of Blowin' In The Wind in 1966, translated as "La Risposta [The Answer]", on the B-side of this single.
The Italian single sleeve says "Disco + Manifesto [Record + Poster]" but it's not easy to find copies like this that still come with the poster. On the enlarged detail of the front of the single you can see a poster with "NO ONE SINGS DYLAN LIKE DYLAN" on the wall behind Jonathan (an ironic detail to include in the artwork for a Dylan cover). The photo on the poster comes from the same location and has more of the Dylan poster with the same slogan and pictures of Dylan album sleeves on the wall behind Jonathan. The white label promo single comes in the same sleeve as the commercial single. There is a hole punched through both the sleeve and the single.
This performance was also released in Spain on a very rare four-track EP on an obscure label, Marfer. Blowin' In The Wind is misprinted as "Slowin' In The Wind" on the rear sleeve, although it's correct on the B-side label! Ronald Born has a copy of the Spanish EP with the date "20 JUN 1968" stamped on the rear sleeve. For a 1967 Spanish Marfer EP from a different artist, see below.

The US jukebox "Little LP" (EP) is in a white card sleeve with the album artwork pasted on the front. The rear is plain white. It has six tracks from the album including Like A Rolling Stone and Positively 4th Street on the A-side and Blowin' In The Wind on the B-side. Mr. Tambourine Man is missing. It comes with jukebox strips and three mini album pictures - the jukebox strips are missing but the mini album pictures are still present. It's normal for the record itself to be a Columbia sleeve but this also is missing.
The German mono EP has four tracks from the album - it contains their cover of Blowin' In The Wind on the A-side, plus Mr. Tambourine Man is now on the B-side.

Tempo was founded in Berlin in 1937 as a low budget label. They built a pressing plant in Potsdam-Babelsberg (later used by Amiga). After the war they moved to Bavaria and continued to release versions of national and international hits by nearly unknown artists (some of them with two or more pseudonyms). For example "Man muß schließlich auch mal 'nein' sagen können [One Must Sometimes Finally Say 'No']" was a number 14 hit in the West German charts in 1966 for Gitte (Hænning) the same year she released Blowin' In The Wind in Denmark (see above).

Los 007 were from Venezuela and took their name from "Bond, James Bond". They were a very successful band in their home country of Venezuela and in other countries in Central America. Although Los 007 used the song title "Soplando En El Viento" (one of two standard Spanish titles with "La Respuesta Está En El Viento") this title never appears in the lyrics, instead they sing in the chorus "Dejen el viento soplar [Let the wind blow]". The Venezuelan single shown comes in a plain white sleeve, but may have originally come in a generic Sonus sleeve.

 The Rising Sun Trio (Japan) - promo postcard scan by Manuel García Jara |
This set of four 7” flexidiscs from Japan has a picture of Peter, Paul and Mary on the front sleeve and contains 20 covers of various artists such as Peter, Paul and Mary and The Brothers Four. The cover of Blowin’ In The Wind is track 2 on the B-side of disc 1. The four flexi discs are in a 24 page 7” x 7” paperback book-style cover and the four discs are each in a clear plastic sleeve and the four sleeves are attached to the book-style cover. There is no year of release but the pictures inside this set date from the mid-1960s/late 1960s.
Thanks to Sonny Boy McFitzson for information that Music Graph specialised in recordings by Japanese artists, and he has found Music Graph SMG-5003 (titled The Best Of Folk Songs), which has ten songs from the SMG-6018 tracklist on the sleeve, performed by a Japanese folk group called The Rising Sun Trio who probably therefore perform all the twenty songs on this release. SMG-6016 was released in Aug 1967, so SMG-6018 might be Oct 1967.
Manuel García Jara has also provided scans of Music Graph SMG-5006 with a photo of Joan Baez on the front. This set has two flexidiscs and a 12 page booklet with a further ten songs covered by the Rising Sun Trio including The Times They are A-Changin'.

 Als 4 Vents A4V-6 (Spain) - EP front scan by Manuel García Jara (original 1967 release) |
This is an EP with a very complicated history, originally released in 1967 and reissued in 1971, but there are at least two variants of the front sleeve, four variants of the rear sleeve, two variants of the insert and three different record labels. The artists are Ramon Casajoana and Joan Boix, well known to Spanish Dylan fans because of their several Dylan covers as a duo or in bands such as Grup de Folk (they released two albums Els Temps Encara Estan Canviant [The Times They Are A-Changin'] and Els Temps Encara Estan Canviant 2) or Falsterbo Mari. This EP, sung in Catalan, includes a cover of Peter, Paul and Mary's Puff, The Magic Dragon (Puff, El Drac Magic) and two Dylan covers: "Escolta-ho en el vent [Hear It In The Wind = Blowin' In The Wind]" and "El dia que el vaixell vindrá [When The Ship Comes In]". |

 Els Temps Encara Estan Canviant (Grup de Folk, Spain) |
 Els Temps Encara Estan Canviant 2 (Grup de Folk, Spain) |
This EP was jointly released in 1967 by a book shop (Hogar del Libro, "Home of The Book", based in Barcelona) and a very small label (Als 4 Vents "Four Winds", also from Barcelona; the reference A4V means Als 4 Vents) and distributed by Concentric. It includes an insert with lyrics. The record labels of this original release are yellow. The label of Ronald Born's 1967 copy is different from Manuel's - the most obvious difference is that "Edelton hi-fi" is missing from the left, but the text outside the box at top and right are also different, and Ronald's label has the "SGAE" logo inside the box to the left of the centre hole. The EP was re-pressed several times since 1967 until 1971, with identical record labels but with variants of the front sleeve (see different lettering), of the rear sleeve (very different from the original). Also shown is another rear with a sticker of a shop, Signe, of Mataró, near to Barcelona; and a third variant with a sticker of the distributor Concentric (and, curiously, a sticker from the same Signe shop) and a variant front insert.

This EP was finally reissued in 1971 again by El Hogar del Libro but now by a different label, TIC Productora, and it was distributed again by Concentric. This new release has different record labels with logos of TIC and Concentric and a new catalogue number, but the previous sleeve was used again: only a limited quantity of copies have two stickers on rear (one with logo of TIC glued over the logo of Als 4 Vents and another small sticker with the new reference, 20.006 ET) |

The sleeve of this jukebox EP (or "Little LP") is made of heavy cardboard with the front design pasted on and is blank on the rear. The front design includes the stereo album front, Hi Records/London SHL 32035. In this case the jukebox strip and mini album pictures normally found with a jukebox EP are missing, but the record still has its original Hi Records/London sleeve. It is apparently quite rare for these EPs to survive intact with the jukebox strips, mini album pics and original sleeves. |

 Eastside, West by Eddy Fukano, Dot Records DLP 25866 (USA, 1968, stereo) - front picture from www.disogs.com |
This pack from HMV/RCA Victor Japan includes two flexidiscs and a 20-Page booklet. The cover of Blowin' In The Wind is track 1 on the B-side of disc 1 (FY-5442). According to Kei Masaru the artists' name translates as "Minoru Harada and Wagon Ace", although vocals are by Hideaki "Eddy" Fukano. Eddy Fukano released an album in the USA in 1968 called Eastside, West (Dot Records DLP 25866 (stereo)/Dot Records DLP 3866 (mono), so I am provisionally dating this set as 1968 also. The price was ¥420.

This second rare 1968 Welsh language Wren Records EP has yet another Welsh version of Blowin' In The Wind, translated as "Siglo Yn Y Gwynt" as on the B-side record label above. Dylan is again not credited as the composer, just Rol (Rhydwen) Williams. The group's name is given as both "Hogiau'r Wyddfa" or "Hogia'r Wyddfa" on the sleeve and labels of the EP. |

There are four record label variants, all in the same sleeve. The original release has white labels and there are three variants of reissue with blue labels. All have similar typefaces with "Made in Wales" in the copyright text in the circumference. There are only two differences:
The song can be found on CD on their 2013 SAIN Records 8CD boxed set "Y Casgliad Llawn [The Complete Collection]"! The group's name there is "Hogia'r Wyddfa".

 Sonet T 8313 (Denmark) - 7" single front scan by Manuel García Jara |
Raquel Rastenni represented Denmark in the Eurovision Song Contest
(1958). This mono 7" single has her version of Blowin' In The Wind on the B-side
with Danish lyrics by Thøger Olesen and the title translated as
"Kun Vinden Gi'r Dig Svar [Only The Wind Gives You The Answer]". As
with 1960s Danish Dylan singles, the rear sleeve is plain white. Thanks to Manuel García Jara for information and scans. |

The Vergers - "Vinden Ger Svar [The Wind Gives The Answer (Blowin' In The Wind)]"/"Amen, Lovet Och Priset [Amen, Blessing and Glory]" - 7" mono single, Kyrkoton 502 (Sweden), 1968:
 Kyrkoton 502 (Sweden) - 7" mono single front of insert scan by Manuel García Jara (variant 1) |
This very
rare Swedish single includes a cover of Blowin' In The Wind with the usual
Swedish translation by Tore Lagergren on the A-side. The sleeve is the
usual Scandinavian folded insert, folding in the centre so the bottom
half is the rear. Bob's name is misspelled as "Bob Dilan"
on the front and on the A-side record label. Blowin' In The Wind is shown as
"Vinder Ger Svar" on the front of the insert, but as "Och Vinden Ger Svar
[And The Wind Gives The Answer]" on the rear of the insert and the A-side record label. This is another Christian connection. The name of the band, The Vergers, is translated on the rear of the insert as "Kyrkotjänarna [the Church Ones]". The label Kyrkoton specialised in Christian music ("Kyrkot" = "Christian Church"). The record labels have a design with church windows, and there are mentions of the Gospel of St. John and other Christian contents in the notes on the rear of the insert. |

There are two variants of the insert for this Swedish EP. The second is also a folded Scandinavian insert but now the front is a slightly darker blue and there are two noticeable differences on the rear: it has the printed (not stamped) extra text "Evangelii Center/Borlänge" at top right and the printer's name at bottom left is now "SIB/ tryck/TUMBA" instead of "AB IRKA - TRYCK".

Blowin' In The Wind is translated into Czech as "Vitr To Vi [The Wind Knows]" by Ivo Fischer. There was a 1965 Czech release by Judita Čeřovská with Blowin' In The Wind translated as "Jen Vítr To Ví A Mlčí Dál [Only The Wind Knows This And Is Silent Beyond]" with different Czech lyrics by Zdenec Barovec, see Blowin' In The Wind Covers 1963-65.

Luis Amilibia: "Chantes Basques Modernes [Modern Basque Songs]" - 4-Track Mono EP, Agorila AG 60-41 (France/Spain), 1968:
 Agorila AG 60-41 (France/Spain) - 7" mono EP front scan by Manuel García Jara |
This mono EP by the Spanish Basque singer Luis Amilibia includes the first Dylan cover ever sung in Euskera: Blowin' In The Wind translated as "Entzun Aizetan". This is the second of two EPs of this artist with the same title, Chants Basques Modernes [Modern Basque Songs], with similar artwork. |

|
 Agorila AG 60-27 (France) - 7" mono EP front scan by Manuel García Jara (no Dylan material) |
Although the artist and his band, Los Naya, were all Spanish, these EPs were recorded in France and published by a small French label, Agorila, based in Bayonne (French Basque Country). This explains the French title of the EP. Chants Basques Modernes means "recent songs sung in Euskera" (usually the Euskera language was used only for Basque traditional songs). The sleeve notes are in Euskera and in French, but the most important point is that this cover of Blowin' In The Wind is not a direct translation from the original English lyrics: it is a translation into Euskera made by Father N. Etxaniz of the French translation by Pierre Dorsey (who is wrongly credited as Pierre Dorsay on the rear sleeve and the Side 1 record label) For this reason, this version has the subtitle "Écoute Dans Le Vent". "Entzun Aizetan [Listening In The Wind]" is the Euskera title on the front and the rear of the sleeve, but on the Side 1 label it is spelled as "Antzun Aisetan" and this performance can be found elsewhere as "Entzun Haizetan"!
There was also an extremely rare copy made in France for Spain. The front sleeve and record labels are identical to the French release, but the rear sleeve has musician credits in Spanish. The sleeve notes are now in Euskera and Spanish instead of in Euskera and French, and the sides are shown as "Anverso [Obverse]" and "Reverso [Reverse]" (unusual Spanish names for Sides 1 and 2) instead of "Face 1" and "Face 2".
For a 1970 cover of Blowin' In The Wind by Juan Migel in Euskera with a different translation by the artist himself see Blowin' In The Wind Covers 1970s Onwards.

The Hollies - "Hollies Sing Dylan" - LP releases, Parlophone PCS 7078 (UK stereo)/PMC 7078 (UK mono), 1969; ; CD releases: EMI E2 0777 7 81330 2 5 (Canada), 1993; Toshiba-EMI TOCP-7730 (Japan), 24 Mar 1993; "Words And Music By Bob Dylan" - LP release, Epic BN 26447 (USA stereo), 1969:
 Parlophone PCS 7078 (UK stereo)/PMC 7078 (UK mono) - LP front scan from www.discogs.com |
The Hollies' decision to make this album
of twelve Dylan covers including their version of Blowin' In The Wind was the reason Graham Nash left
the band! Graham wanted to perform his own material including Marrakesh
Express, which he released with Crosby, Stills and Nash. The album was
released in the USA as
Words And Music By Bob Dylan with a
different front design using the same photo. The album was reissued on CD with the UK title in 1993. It contains two bonus tracks: an alternate take of Blowin' In The Wind and a live version of The Times They Are A-Changin'. Both the obi and the rear insert of the Toshiba-EMI Japanese release are dated "93.3.24" (24 Mar 1993). |

The Hollies - "Listen To Me"/"Blowin' In The Wind" - mono 7" single releases, Parlophone SD 6050 (Sweden), 1968, re-released 1969; Hansa 14.161 AT (West Germany), 1968:
 Parlophone SD 6050 (Sweden) - 7" mono single front scan by Manuel García Jara (1968 release) |
This Swedish single with Blowin' In The Wind on the B-side
is dated 1968, so must precede the album above. In the UK the B-side of
Listen To Me was Do The Best You Can, also including Graham Nash. The second
Swedish single shown is still dated 1968, but must be a
later release. This time the front and rear of the sleeve are the same, and
the Parlophone record labels are completely different.
The
green/white circular "NK" sticker on the front sleeve is from Nordiska
Kompagniet, the biggest department store in Stockholm. The West German single from 1968 has the same tracks but is on the Hansa label and has completely different artwork. Thanks to Manuel García Jara and Lars M. Banke for information and scans. |

Bobby Doyle was a blind jazz and blues singer from Texas.
He was the leader of The Bobby Doyle Trio (another member was Kenny Rogers,
the latterly successful country-pop singer). He also recorded many records as
a soloist like this single. In 1972 he did some collaborations with the band
Blood, Sweet & Tears, one member of which had been 1960s-70s Dylan band musician
Al Kooper (see
Honourable Mentions), although he'd left the band by
that time. Thanks to Manuel García Jara for information and scans. |

The front sleeve of this 1969 Swedish single gets the title
of the song wrong! The rear sleeve is the same as the front.
Blowin' In The Wind is printed correctly on the A-side record label. The
B-side, Lady Lady, is not Bob's song Lay, Lady, Lay but a different
song credited to "Andersson-Pilnäs". As well as being released with an insert that was the same on both front and rear, as shown on left, the single was also released with an insert as shown on right. The bottom half of the insert (the rear) is plain white. There are also differences in the record labels to the right of the centre hole: the first variant has the "NCB" logo and "(P) 1969"; the second variant has "C.C." and the text "Recording First Published 1969".

This EP includes a cover of
Blowin' In The Wind (track 2 on the

Answer Is In The Wind" (as usual in Northern Latin American countries such
as Mexico, Colombia or Venezuela. (In Southern Latin American countries such
as Argentina, Uruguay or Chile the usual translation was "Soplando En El
Viento [Blowin' In The Wind".) However the translation on the B-side record
label is just "La Respuesta En El Viento [The Answer In The Wind]" with the
literal English translation "The Answer Is In The Wind" instead of the
original title. Bob Dylan is wrongly credited as "Bob Dilon". Manuel has a second copy with a noticeably darker orange sleeve. The text layout on the record labels is quite different from that of the first copy's labels, but Bob is still wrongly listed as "Bob Dilon"! Thanks to Manuel García Jara for information and scans. |

Shiva Mehem - "Shiva Mehem [Seven Of Them]" - 7" mono EP release, RCA MKE-1348 (Mexico), 1969:
 RCA MKE-1348 (Mexico) - 7" mono EP front scan by Manuel García Jara |
This is a very scarce and very strange record. Shiva Mehem ("Seven of Them") were all 15/16 years old, four girls and three boys who were living and studying at the Israeli College in Mexico City. They belonged to the Jewish community and won a song contest held to support Israel (then at war against Egypt) and the prize was the release of this EP. |

The name "Shiva Mehem" was taken from a heroic story about seven Israeli soldiers in that war, related on the rear sleeve in the Spanish liner notes by Beatriz Farrera, who also produced the album. All tracks were sung in Hebrew. Blowin' In The Wind is track 1 on the B-side and translated as "Hazman [The Time]".
