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 3 (1970 onwards). Links to Parts 1 and 2 are below, along with a page devoted to the large number of releases by Peter, Paul & Mary containing Blowin' In The Wind:

1970s
Juan Migel - "Aizean Dabilla + 1" - mono 7" EP releases, Herri Gogoa H-17 (Spain), Jan 1970:
 Herri Gogoa H-17 (Spain) - 7" mono EP front scan by Manuel García Jara (banned release) |
This EP by the Basque artist Juan Migel includes a cover of Blowin' In The Wind sung in Euskera (the Basque language) and translated as "Aizean Dabilla" by the artist himself, although he is credited only on the rear of the folded insert, not on the A-side record label. The record was made by Discophon for Herri Gogoa (Popular Enthusiasm), a small label that specialised in folk music sung in Euskera. The sleeve is a folded insert. Although the date of release on the rear and on the record labels is 1969, there were some problems with censorship because of the "Ikurriña" (Basque flag, strongly associated with Basque independence) on the left of the front photo. For this reason, this sleeve was banned (note the stamped text "Prohibidas la venta y difusión [Sale and broadcast forbidden]" on the front and "Censura militar/San Sebastián [Military Censor/San Sebastian]" on the rear) and the few copies pressed never appeared in stores. |

 Herri Gogoa H-17 (Spain) - 7" mono EP A-side scan by Manuel García Jara (second commercial release variant) |
The authorised version of this EP, now without the Basque flag, was not published until Jan 1970. Apart from this important detail, the rest of sleeve is identical to that of the censored version but the record labels are very different; however, both label designs were used for the authorised release. This new version includes a 4-page insert with lyrics in Euskera and their translations into Spanish.
The correct name and surname of this artist in Euskera is "Jon Mikel Irigarai", but note the influence of Spanish: his name is given as "Juan Miguel" in Spanish on the second A-side record label or "Juan Migel" on both sleeves and the first A-side label; His surname is given as "Irigaray" everywhere except on the first A-side label where it's shown correctly as "Irigarai" ("y" is not used in Euskera). Blowin' In The Wind is translated into Euskera as "Aizean Dabilla [Walkin' In The Wind]", although the Basque title given on the lyrics sheet is "Haizean Dabilla" (which is apparently more correct - "Aizean" may be a dialect form) as well as "Voletea En El Viento" in Castilian Spanish (which Manuel translates as "Fluttering In The Wind").
For a 1968 cover by Luis Amibilia in Euskera with a different translation, see Blowin' In The Wind Covers 1966-69. That too has three different Basque spellings: "Entzun Aizetan [Listening In The Wind]", "Antzun Aisetan" and also "Entzun Haizetan"!

This performance is by the Gustav Brom

Milan Černohouz and Vladĕna Pavlíčková. The single was released
twice with different sleeves and the same record in each. The B-side is
not Dylan-related. For a YouTube performance of this song by these artists, see
.
In 1971 Sonja Salvis, who comes from Switzerland, released a solo LP on Supraphon, Send For Me, including the same recording of Blowin' In The Wind from the 7" single. Two alternative Supraphon sleeves with the same catalogue number can be found on the Net, the orange sleeve with title Send For Me has text in English and the other with title Sonja Salvis has text in Czech.
"Krugozor [Outlook]" was a monthly magazine in a 7" format from the former Soviet Union and 6 flexidiscs were included in each issue. This version of Blowin' In The Wind by Sonja Salvis is on the B-side of the last flexidisc (side 12) for "Krugozor" No. 8 in 1973. There is also a crop of the front photo from the first Czech LP cover on the back of the magazine. For another "Krugozor" flexidisc from 1970 with a cover of Blowin' In The Wind by Peter Paul and Mary, see the first part of this list.

This extremely
rare EP has a sleeve that is laminated on the front only, with three
fold-over flaps on the rear, as well as the "languette" or index tab unique
to France. Their cover of
Blowin' In The Wind (track 2 on the B-side) was arranged and translated into French by Pierre
Dorsey as "Écouté Dans Le Vent [Listening In The Wind]" for Richard
Anthony, the first artist who covered the song in French in 1965. Almost all subsequent French
versions use this translation, except that by Marie Laforêt, who sings in English.
This time Pierre Dorsey is not credited on the rear sleeve or record label,
where the song is credited only to "B. Dylan". Thanks to Manuel García Jara for information and scans. |

 AB Editores MC-0215 (Mexico) - A-side scan by Manuel García Jara (no Dylan) |
This curious EP was Lección 3 [Lesson 3], the third part of a tuition course of 7" EPs for learning to play guitar. The A-side played by Raúl Bonoratt has exercises for chords "Mi (E)" and "La Menor (A minor)". The B-side includes two covers to practice with the guitar: "Mi Gran Noche", sung by Angela Valdivia with Raúl Bonoratt on guitar, and "La Respuesta Está En El Viento [Blowin' In The Wind]" with solo guitar again by Raúl Bonoratt. The notorious eBay seller of genuine Mexican records with counterfeit sleeves invented a fictional band called "Las Piedras Rodantes [The Rolling Stones"] for the fake sleeve for this record! This had the desired effect - a copy with this fake sleeve went for $104, as opposed to records without the sleeve selling for $3 to $5! |

Seedfield Guides - "Seedfield Guides Sing" - mono 7" EP release, Eroica ERO/675/676 (UK), 1970(?):
 Eroica ERO/675/676 (UK) - 7" EP front scan by Manuel García Jara |
Eroica was a small record label based in
Altrincham, Cheshire, near Manchester. The front of the sleeve is generic.
Seedfield is an area of Bury, now Greater Manchester. The EP has six songs
sung by the girls of the 20th Bury (Seedfield) Guide Unit. Blowin' In The
Wind is track 2 on the A-side, miscredited to "Peter, Paul & Mary"! The A-side
is numbered "M 675". I've dated this as 1970 because the catalogue number is
midway between those of Eroica EPs listed on the Internet dated as 1967 and
1973. Thanks to Manuel García Jara for information and scans. |

Rafael - "Vati, Komm Wieder [Daddy, Come Back]"/"Die Antwort [The Answer (Blowin' In The Wind)]" - 7" mono single, Tonstudio Bauer 36784 (West Germany), early 1970s:
 Tonstudio Bauer 36784 (West Germany) - 7" mono single front scan by Ronald Born (rear is the same) |
The B-side of this obscure mono 7" single by a little boy called Rafael is the same version of Blowin' In The Wind with German lyrics by Hans Bradtke as for the German releases by Peter Paul and Mary, Marlene Dietrich, etc., see Blowin' In The Wind Covers 1963-65 and Blowin' In The Wind Covers by Peter, Paul & Mary, Jun 1963 onwards. |

The rear of the sleeve is the same as the front. The B-side title is just shown as "Die Antwort" on the sleeve, but it's correct on the B-side record label. Ronald Born does not know who Rafael is or was, but Günther Leimstoll was a composer and arranger from Stuttgart. The single must have been a private release because there is no record company name on the sleeve or record labels, just Tonstudio Bauer [Bauer Sound Studio], Ludwigsburg. The exact release year is unknown but may be the early 1970s. Manuel García Jara's copy contains a signed postcard with a stamp on the rear giving the name "Rafael Rüdolf" and a Düsseldorf address, which is probably the name of an agency.

 Dischi Ricordi RDI 15001 (Italy) - front of booklet, scan by Manuel García Jara |
This very strange Italian record is by a band called The Illers led by Iller Pattacini, who plays sax on both tracks. It has Blowin' In The Wind on the B-side. Printed on the front of the booklet and both labels is "DIMAGRIRE BALLANDO" which means "LOSE WEIGHT BY DANCING"! Roland Born's copy comes without a picture sleeve. Manuel's copy has a six-page booklet with title "Francesco Conti Ti Insegna A Dimagrire Ballando [Francesco Conti teaches you to lose weight by dancing]", pages 2 to 5 which show illustrations of the dancing exercises. The B-side is an instrumental track with spoken Italian words by Francesco Conti over the music with instructions for the exercises shown in the booklet. |

The books were made into an animated TV series in 1973 with music by Mike Batt, who led a novelty Wombles band which released four albums and eight UK Top 40 singles in the mid-1970s. He also wrote the No. 1 single Bright Eyes by Art Garfunkel, theme song of the 1978 animated film Watership Down.

This single with injection type labels includes a cover of Blowin' In The Wind on the B-side, with the same German lyrics by Hans Bradtke. The A-side is a German version of Buffy Sainte-Marie's The Universal Soldier, made popular by Donovan. The sleeve is the same on both sides. The record labels are dated "1966", but Ronald Born says this is because the songs come from her 1966 album Krieg Im Frieden [War In Peace] (Brunswick, West Germany, 2911 105). |

Also included on the Krieg Im Frieden album was a German language version of Farewell Angelina [Schlaf ein - Angelina (Go To Sleep - Angelina)] with lyrics by E. Bader, also recorded by Nana Mouskouri in 1975. The album was distributed by Polydor. However, Ronald Born thinks the single was not released at the same as the LP, so this is not a reissue. Another German single in Ronald's collection (Lay Lady Lay by James Last) has the Polydor catalogue number 2041 428, the same brown injection labels, and is definitely from 1973.

Blow Up - "Blowin' In The Wind"/"Take It Easy, Joe", promo and commercial 7" stereo singles, RCA TPBO 1013 (Italy), 1974:
 RCA TPBO 1013 (Italy) - 7" stereo single front scan by Manuel García Jara (promo and commercial copies) |
This cover of Blowin' In The Wind, sung in English, was made by an Italian prog rock band, Blow Up, whose name was taken from the 1966 award-winning film by Michelangelo Antonioni (which was actually called "Blow-Up"), starring Vanessa Redgrave, David Hemmings and Sarah Miles. The track was included on their album also titled Blowin' In The Wind, which included another Dylan cover, Knockin' On Heaven's Door. The promo copy has white labels and came in the same sleeve as the commercial copy, which ironically is much harder to get hold of. There was also a different colour sleeve variant, not shown. Thanks to Clinton Heylin for the information in his 2016 book "Judas! From Forest Hills to the Free Trade Hall - A Historical View of the Big Boo" that a scene in "Blow-Up" shows a door to a club where The Yardbirds are playing with a flyer which reads "Bob Dylan R.I.P. May 27th, 1966"! This was the date of the second Royal Albert Hall concert in London, included in The 1966 Live Recordings. |

Blow Up - "Blowin' In The Wind"/"Take It Easy, Joe", promo 7" stereo EP, RCA TPBO 1013 (Peru), 1974:
|
|
This 7" promo only Peruvian EP was made by FTA Industria Peruana for RCA Victor. The sleeve has the same front of the original Italian album, not the front of the original single. The rear sleeve has the tracklist and some Spanish text at the bottom: "10 Años de FTA [10 Years of FTA]" and the usual slogan "Disco es cultura [A record is culture]" (a protest against purchase tax in Latin America on records but not books). The record labels are white with the handwritten speed "33 rpm". |

 RCA Victor MLPS-126 (Peru) - promo 7" EP A-side scan by Manuel García Jara (no Dylan material) |
This Peruvian EP is unusual in that it has six (of twelve) tracks from the original album and because it is an EP by a single artist (Peruvian promo EPs usually have tracks by various artists). This EP was released with two different tracklists but with the same catalogue number, probably in error. The first EP includes We're An American Band, a cover of a Grand Funk Railroad song, instead of Blowin' In The Wind; this second EP with the variant tracklist but with the same artwork is actually Side 2 of the Italian album, track by track. This EP is extremely hard to get, not only because of its scarcity, but there is strong competition between Dylan and Beatles covers collectors (it is a rare example of record including covers of the four ex-Beatles). As far as Manuel knows, records by this band were released only in Italy. Apart from this EP, he doesn't know of any other record by this band released in other countries.

 Disques VDS VDS 208 (France) - 7" EP front scan by Manuel García Jara |
This stereo-mono EP
signed by the artist (she was only ten years old at the time) is also
extremely rare. It is misdated as the 1960s elsewhere on the Internet, but
must be from 1974 or later because La Paloma, Adieu (a French
translation of the Spanish song La Paloma [The Dove] written
by Sebastián Yradier with new lyrics by Catherine Desage) was a hit for
Mireille Matthieu in France and elsewhere in Europe in 1973-74. The cover of
Blowin' In The Wind is again the version arranged and translated into French by Pierre
Dorsey as "Écouté Dans Le Vent [Listening In The Wind]". Unusually, the
"SACEM" logo on the EP's A-side is on a sticker instead of being printed. Thanks to Manuel García Jara for information and scans. |

This bizarre EP is a non-music record. It includes humorous dialogue and laughter, but at the beginning of the B-side someone (actually Larry Deans) plays a small excerpt of Blowin' In The Wind (approximately half a minute) on the harmonica. The jukebox-sized centre hole looks original but the labels were printed for a single with a solid centre so that most of the credits for the harmonica solo have been cut out - the bottom missing lines could be "Larry: Blowin' in the wind"/"(Bob Dlyan) Warner Broos" (two spelling mistakes!). |

 Stars On Long Play Dutch album front design plagiarised, scan by Manuel García Jara (no Dylan material) |
There were two releases with identical content and catalogue number, but with different artwork. The artwork of the first sleeve is too much close to the original Stars On Long Play, an album with a Beatles medley by the Dutch project Stars On... . Therefore Canyon Records had to change the artwork and Japanese title on the sleeve and record labels. The original release has a real sleeve; the second has the usual Japanese insert with a generic Canyon inner sleeve.

American folk singer Julie
Felix, who died in England in Mar 2020, covered Dylan songs many times in
her long career beginning in 1964, much of which was spent performing in
Britain, where she even had her own 1960s TV show. (I saw her live in
Manchester in the 1960s.) This album has two Dylan covers including the
title track. Her version of Blowin' In The Wind is
track 6 on Side 1, and there is also a cover of Mr. Tambourine Man as track
4 on Side 1. Julie has also recorded two albums entirely of Dylan covers, see Honourable Mentions - Covers (Women Sing Dylan). |

|
 Rock Against Records RA 0183 (NL) - 7" stereo EP B-side scan by Manuel García Jara (no Dylan material) |
The record has white labels. The A-side has the title "Anti Nuklear Side" and the B-side has "Anti Fascist Side". Track 2 on the A-side, "Straling" ("Radiation" in Dutch) is a partial cover of Blowin' In The Wind. The Dutch lyrics are an anti-nuclear adaptation of Blowin' In The Wind, with the identical structure: several verses with questions and a chorus with no answers, e.g.
Verse: Hoe hoog is de prijs voor de kernenergie [How high is the price for nuclear energy]?
Chorus: De straling, mijn vriend, die waait door de wind [The radiation, my friend, is blowing in the wind].
The verses have a different tune, but the music of the chorus is identical to Blowin' In The Wind. There are no composer credits for any track, but the insert says "Dank aan ...Bob Dylan voor inspiratie tegen kruisvluchtwapens, straling en fascisme [Thanks to ... Bob Dylan for inspiration against cruise missiles, radiation and fascism]". Despite the sleeve images, the titles of the tracks and the lyrics, this is not the expected hardcore and electric punk music - Megafoons play acoustic and slide guitars, violins, congas...

Manuel García Jara says: "When I started to collect Dylan covers, I knew I would buy some good records and a lot of less good, but I never thought I would buy a record like this! Fortunately, Dylan is not credited as composer (Blowin' In The Wind is credited to R. Berry), although the insert says "Intense Mutilation Records A Moving Tribute To Bob Dylan". The music obviously is a cover of Blowin' In The Wind (it plays acoustic guitar and harmonica, he sings imitating the Dylan style)...but the lyrics are an ugly parody." |

These tracks were taken from a Various Artists album titled Sixties-Rock: Schweizer Rockstars In Concert recorded live at the Atlantis, Basel, Switzerland, in Mar 1989 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of "Sonntagsblick", a Swiss newspaper. Blowin' In The Wind was performed by Toni Vescoli, sung in English. The front and rear sleeves are identical. Toni Vescoli later recorded an album of Dylan songs called Bob Dylan Songs: Mundart (BMG Ariola Schweiz 74321 132982, 1993) with all songs in Swiss German dialect, not including Blowin' In The Wind. Another Swiss artist featured on the album is Polo Hofer, who also recorded many songs in Swiss German dialect on several albums, compiled on the 2CD set Polo Hofer Singt Bob Dylan 1981-2011 (Sound Service SCD 30, Switzerland, 2011). Again, Blowin' In The Wind is not included on this album.
As it happens, I worked in Basel for several years in the 1990s and 2000s, and visited the Atlantis many times to hear live music. The photo from Google StreetView is from 2014, but it hasn't changed!

 US DVD release of 1960 film, picture from wikipedia.com |
Before Marc Feld became Marc Bolan he had a short unsuccessful career as "Toby Tyler". (Toby Tyler was a boy who ran away from home to join a circus in a 1960 Walt Disney live action film of that name.) As Toby Tyler he recorded two songs at Maximum Sound, Soho, London, in late 1964. These remained unreleased officially until 1999, when they were released as a CD single in Germany by Zinc Alloy with Blowin' In The Wind as the title track. Zinc Alloy also released a CD called The Maximum Sound Session with six takes of each song from that session. In 2006 the same two tracks were released in the UK as a 7" single by Earmark Records (part of Sanctuary Records) but this time The Road I'm On (Gloria), a song originally released by Dion (DiMucci) was the A-side and Blowin' In The Wind was the B-side.
