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 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! Stereo promo versions of commercially released singles that were formerly listed in the Promotional Items sections of the yearly pages are now listed here. I would also like to include cassette singles here, but I don't have any, and none have been notified to me so far.

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!

All four tracks are the full album versions.

Thanks to Manuel García Jara for information and scans. Manuel has other EPs in this "4 Play" series from both Canada and Australia, and thinks there may be an Australian version of this Dylan EP, although Hans Seegers thinks not.

"Silvio" - 12" copper single master, Precision Lacquer/CBS Records (USA), 11 Dec 1987:


Label scan by Arie de Reus
There has been some speculation about Silvio being about the Cuban singer Silvio Rodriguez, but Robert Hunter (who wrote the lyrics) says not.

This single-sided copper master plays the album track from Down In The Groove at 33⅓ RPM and is dated "12/11/87". For a 1988 black vinyl promo single, see below.

For the 1988 commercial 7" single with Driftin' Too Far From Shore as the B-side, see below.

"Silvio" - promo 12" stereo single, Columbia CAS 02903 (USA), May 1988:

SilvioUS12PromoFront.JPG (38053 bytes)
Columbia CAS 02903 (USA) - single in sleeve (my copy)
For a 1987 copper master of this track, see above. This single plays the album track from Down In The Groove on both sides. It comes in a colourful generic card outer sleeve with a cut-out for the label and a black sticker with white/red text. The promo information on the sticker highlights the fact that Silvio is a Dylan/Grateful Dead co-operation, with Robert Hunter (the Grateful Dead's lyricist) providing the lyrics, and Jerry García, Bob Weir and Brent Mydland from the Grateful Dead playing on the track. (The Dylan And The Dead live album from shows in Jul 1987 was eventually released in Jan 1989).

For the commercial 7" single with Driftin' Too Far From Shore as the B-side, see below.

It comes in a generic plastic CBS sleeve, see 7" Single Sleeves.


"Silvio" - promo 7" stereo single, Columbia 38-07970 (USA), Jun 1988:


Columbia 38-07970 (USA) - label scan by Manuel García Jara (same both sides)
This rare white label promo single again plays the album track from Down In The Groove on both sides.

This single is noteworthy because it was the last 7" vinyl "current" Bob Dylan promo single to be released in the USA. After this only 12" or CD singles were used to promote Bob Dylan albums and any 7" singles have been retrospective or limited editions such as the "Record Store Day" releases.

Thanks to Manuel García Jara for information and scans.


"Silvio"/"Driftin' Too Far From Shore" - 7" stereo singles, Columbia 38-07970 (USA/Canada), Jun 1988:

Silvio7USA.jpg (21066 bytes)
Columbia 38-07970 (USA) - A-side scan by Hans Seegers
Both tracks are the album versions, the A-side from Down In The Groove and the B-side from Knocked Out Loaded. For a 1988 US promo single with Silvio on both sides, see above. Note that on the second variant of the US B-side the length is shown incorrectly as 3:10 - the first variant is correct at 3:38. This mistake was repeated on the Canadian single, the UK promo single below, and several other worldwide releases.

This single is again noteworthy because it was the last vinyl "current" commercial Bob Dylan single to be released in the USA. Apart from re-releases in the 1990s of the Columbia Hall Of Fame singles featuring songs from the 1960s and early 1970s, all other singles (vinyl or CD) released in the USA have been promo only. They were produced for the music industry only, or available to the public only as part of promotions for Dylan albums. For 1988 US and UK promos of this single, see above. For international stereo releases of this single, see below.

The 10" acetate for the 7" single has stock labels from the US company Precision Lacquer, with "CBS Records" and other information typewritten. The date is shown as "06/07/88" (6 Jul 1988). The length of Driftin' Too Far From Shore is given correctly as 3:38. The 12" acetate has stock labels from CBS's London Mastering Studios, with handwritten titles, and came in a plain black sleeve with the CBS London recording studios address (shown below). The length of Driftin' Too Far From Shore is given incorrectly as 3:10. For the UK 7" and 12" commercial singles, CBS 651406-7 and CBS 651406-6, see below. For a 1988 USA 12" promo single with Silvio alone, see above.

CBS 651406 7 (NL) - front scan by Sergio Mariano Romay (7" single)

The sleeve and record of this single were made in Holland. There is a minor difference between the front of this single and the front of the UK 7" single above - the catalogue number at front bottom centre is white and in a different type face from the pink catalogue number on the other singles.

Ger Hemel has what purports to be a promo Dutch copy of CBS 651406 7 with a unique sleeve and a promo stamp on the A-side, the B-side is as shown. The sleeve actually is a folded sheet inside a clear plastic sleeve. However, after discussing this with Arie de Reus and Tom Willems I am convinced the sleeve and promo stamp are not genuine. Arie said they would have used a regular sleeve for promos. Tom said the “CBS” typeface on the sleeve is wrong, as is the Epic logo, and the combination of “SPECIAL LIMITED EDITION” and “FOR PROMOTION ONLY” is incompatible. He also thinks that the promo stamp on the A-side is suspicious.

Thanks to Patrick Helfrich, Sergio Mariano Romay and Ger Hemel for information and scans.

The one-sided promo single has yellow promo labels and a blank label on the B-side like the 1985 and 1986 Spanish promo singles above. This single comes in the regular sleeve with a promo stamp on the rear. The fronts of these singles are the same as that of the Dutch single above.

The equivalent commercial single in the same sleeve has When Did You Leave Heaven? as the B-side, as the UK and Dutch singles above.

This single came in both promo and commercial generic sleeves, see 7" Single Sleeves. On the B-side the length is shown incorrectly as 3:10, it's actually 3:38. This mistake was also on the US single (see above), the UK 12" acetate (see above), and several other worldwide releases. There is no album credit for the B-side.

John Richardson's copy comes in a regular card sleeve. The CD is almost identical except for some extra Columbia copyright text at the bottom, missing from the first CD.

This is as far as I know the only commercial Bob Dylan CD single that has been released in the USA! There have been many promo CD singles, and these are now listed on the appropriate 1990s and 2000s pages of this International Singles list.

"Most Of The Time"/"Shooting Star"/Series Of Dreams" - 12" acetates, CBS (no catalogue numbers) (UK), 1989:


Most Of The Time - picture from eBay
Thanks to Gerd Rundel for finding these three items on eBay which purport to be UK 12" acetates, each with two versions of songs from the Oh Mercy sessions. They have CBS Whitfield Street Studios labels with typed text and all come in CBS UK 12" single card sleeves. Arie de Reus has confirmed that these items are not genuine. Work-in-progress recordings from the Oh Mercy sessions were created only in the USA. The distinctive CBS UK 12" single sleeve is genuine but was never used for any UK Dylan 12" single releases, which is why it isn't listed on my Singles Sleeves page.
Shooting Star - picture from eBay


Series Of Dreams - picture from eBay


Series Of Dreams in CBS 12" sleeve - picture from eBay

These three discs belonged to a departed US collector who had in the past contributed to my web-site. Before his death he sold off most of his collection through Heritage Auctions, Dallas, TX, but there were some that Heritage wouldn't sell because they didn't think they were authentic. His son is now selling these on eBay and these are three of them. I have no doubt that the original owner bought them in good faith and believed them to be genuine. The seller claims they come from aborted first recording sessions for Oh Mercy in the UK with Ronnie Wood, but I haven't found any evidence such sessions ever took place.


"Everything Is Broken" - test pressings, CBS (no catalogue number) (France), Oct 1989:

These are single-sided records with silver-grey labels in plain white sleeves.

Thanks to Raoul Verolleman for finding the first variant on eBay France and to Hans Seegers and Dag Braathen for the other variants and for extra details. The single shown on the left is an unusual item for CBS France in that "TEST PRESSING" is in English.

For commercial singles which included a rare live performance of Dead Man, Dead Man, see 1989.

The A-side of the 7" single was from Oh Mercy and the B-side was from Down In The Groove. The UK acetate has stock labels with handwritten titles.

The German promotional letter (right) is dated "16.9.89", over a month before the single was actually released. It's interesting in that it translates the A-side title as "Alles Kaputt" and wrongly gives the Daniel Lanois studio location for the Oh Mercy recordings as Memphis, TN (it was actually recorded in New Orleans, LA).

The Australian single shown above right came in promotional and commercial versions in standard CBS sleeves, see 7" Single Sleeves.
