"Just Like A Woman"/"I Want You" - 7" mono singles in "Hall Of Fame" series, Columbia 4-33108 (USA), 25 Apr 1973; Columbia 13-33108 (USA), 1975, reissued early 1980s and 1987:
Columbia 4-33108 (USA), 25 Apr 1973:

I Want You was previously reported to be the edited version R-0322 (see 1966), but here it is actually the standard mono album version at 2:57, see Mono 7" Singles & EPs 1966-68. |

Columbia 4-33108 (USA) - alternate jukebox strip, scan by Jürgen Wasser |
Columbia/Legacy/ Sony Music 88875124412
(Europe) - detail of pocket for Disc 3 of 6CD set, scan by Ian Woodward ("4-33108" shown as
released on "1/16/67", 16 Jan 1967)
There were three label variations of Columbia 4-33108: without original release dates, with release dates in lower case, and with release dates in capitals. The third variant came with the jukebox strip illustrated. Unlike the UK single below, this single had no picture sleeve and used "Columbia Hall Of Fame" generic sleeves. All three variants came in shiny gold "Columbia Hall Of Fame sleeves" (see 7" Single Sleeves).
Ian Woodward points out that the fold-out pages at the back of the book with the 6CD Deluxe Edition of The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 - Bob Dylan 1965-1966 The Cutting Edge from 2015 show artists' contract cards for the 1965-66 period. The pocket that holds Disc 3 has details of the single releases of I Want You, first released as Columbia 4-43683 on 19 Jun 1966 (see 1966), and secondly as the B-side here on Columbia 4-33108. However, the release date for Columbia 4-33108 is shown as "1/16/67" (16 Jan 1967). This release date is corroborated online so this page will be revised as soon as possible.
Columbia 13-33108 (USA), 1975, reissued early 1980s and 1987:
Earlier pressings came in non-shiny gold Columbia Hall Of Fame sleeves, later pressings came in yellow sleeves. For the 1987 Columbia Hall Of Fame sleeves and the Collectables sleeves, see 7" Single Sleeves.For locations of other "Hall Of Fame" singles: those containing rarities, those in mono, and those in stereo, see "Hall Of Fame".
François Guillez has a copy of the second variant with a red sticker covering "Columbia" on both labels. This means that the single was exported, probably to Europe.
Please note that the black plastic clip shown in the scans by Kenneth Robson is not an official Columbia 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).

"Just Like A Woman"/"I Want You" - 7" mono single in "Hall Of Fame" series, Columbia 4-33108 (Canada), 25 Apr 1973; Columbia 13-33108 (Canada), 1975 (two variants); Columbia 13-33108 (Canada), 1997:
The original 1973 Canadian release of this single has the same label design as the first US single variant without the release dates, see above. The 1975 release (two variants) adds release dates. The labels of François Guillez's 1975 copy have text in a different typeface positioned differently. To the left of the centre hole "BOB DYLAN" is now left aligned instead of being centred, and to the right of the centre hole the original release date is the bottom line instead of the top two lines.Thanks to Hans Seegers, Kenneth Robson and François Guillez for information and scans.
Just Like A Woman"/"I Want You" - 7" stereo singles in "Hall Of Fame Hits"
series, CBS 1158 (UK), Apr 1973; S CBS 1158 (UK), mid 1970s (two variants), 1979:
Even though this single had the same A- and B-sides as the mono US and
Canadian releases above, the
versions of the songs were both different!
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".

George Harrison - "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)"/"Miss O'Dell" - 7" stereo Apple/Capitol/Parlophone singles (various catalogue numbers) (Worldwide), 14 May 1973:
R-0281 Miss O'Dell (George Harrison) - Bob is rumoured to be the harmonica player on this B-side, although there is no corroborating evidence
Apple PAS 1006 (UK) - front picture from www.discogs.com (1973 release - no Dylan) |
If the harmonica solo is Bob's, it was possibly recorded at George's home in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, in early 1973. There is nothing in Clinton Heylin's "Day By Day" book mentioning a visit by Bob to England in this period. Christoph Maus says the harmonica player is in fact George, who can also be heard playing harmonica on Apple Scruffs on his 1970 3LP set All Things Must Pass. The A-side of the single comes from George's album Living In The Material World, which was reissued by Apple Records in 2006 with Miss O'Dell as a bonus track (both this B-side and an alternate take, R-0747, on which Bob may or may not play), see 2006. The harmonica player on Miss O'Dell is not credited on either the 1973 and 2006 album releases (George is credited with guitar only). |

Thanks to Kenneth Robson for scans of his copy of the UK commercial single, which comes in a generic black Apple sleeve. There was also a promo single, with "DEMO RECORD NOT FOR SALE" stamped on each side above the centre hole. Manuel García Jara also has a copy of the commercial single with a white sticker with "SAMPLE RECORD/NOT FOR SALE" in red on the A-side only. The B-side is the same as the regular commercial B-side. |

Apple 8E 006-05 354 F (Portugal) - front picture from www.discogs.com |
Like the Spanish single, the Portuguese single had a picture sleeve. What is unusual is that the "cut-in-half apple" label design, normally used for the B-side, is used for the A-side here, while the B-side has the "green apple" design! The front and rear sleeves make it clear the A- and B-sides have not been reversed. This sleeve design was also used for the Angolan single below. |

Apple SAP-88681 (Yugoslavia), 1973:
Parlophone R-5988 (Israel), 1973:
This single with the UK catalogue number, but on the Parlophone label, was made in Israel by the Gramophone Company Ltd., part of EMI. The front and rear of the sleeve are identical. The record this time has black Parlophone labels with silver text.
Apple EAR-10383 (Japan), 1973:
Apple EAR-10383 (Japan) - front of insert, scan by Manuel García Jara |
Like many Japanese singles of the time, the Apple release comes in a generic sleeve, this time from Toshiba EMI, with a folded insert in English and Japanese. The single was manufactured in Japan by Toshiba Music Industries on behalf of Apple Records and has standard Apple labels. It was available in both black and red vinyl. |

Like the very rare Dylan Angolan single (see 1972), this Apple single was made by Valentim de Carvalho CI-SARL, Luanda, Angola. It uses the Portuguese single sleeve design and catalogue number (see above), but has very unusual Apple labels with five faces. |

Apple S7 BT-68 (Brazil for Paraguay) - rear scan
by Manuel García Jara (lower text added for Paraguay)
There are two Brazilian label variants, but I don't have a picture of the variant 1 A-side.
Paraguay is the only country in South America where no Dylan release was ever pressed or released. In fact, there was never a pressing plant in this country. Only some records, exported from Argentina or Brazil, were distributed there. If Dylan really played on Miss O'Dell, this single could be the only record with Dylan involvement released in Paraguay. Both the sleeve and the record itself were made in Brazil by EMI and therefore it is identical to the single sold in Brazil except for the text, written in an attempt at Spanish, at the bottom of the rear sleeve: "Manofacturado en el Brasil por Odeón y distribuhido en el Paraguay por EMI Internacional Asunción [Manufactured in Brazil by Odeon and distributed in Paraguay by EMI International, Asunción]" There are two misspelled words (in Portuguese rather than Spanish): "Manofacturado" (in Spanish it should be "Manufacturado") and "distribuhido" (in Spanish it should be "distribuido").
Apple 1621 (Argentina), 1973:
Apple 7XCE 21724 (Chile), 1973 (two variants):
Apple AP.1829 (Venezuela), 1973 (two variants):
Like the Portuguese single above, the Apple Records label designs for the A-side and B-side are switched on the first variant. Although Miss O'Dell is the B-side (AP.1829-B), this side has the A-side label design! Also, the text on both sides is printed at 90° to the label design (see the Canadian single B-sides above). Manuel's second copy has the usual label designs, however the text elements to the left and right of the centre holes are switched, so that the song titles are on the right on the first variant, and on the left on the second variant.
Chris O'Dell:
Chris O'Dell with George Harrison, 1973 |
The subject of the song, Chris O'Dell, who was the Beatles' secretary at
Apple Corps, wrote a book called "Miss O'Dell:
My Hard Days and Long Nights with The Beatles, The Stones, Bob Dylan, Eric
Clapton, and the Women They Loved" (Touchstone Press, 2009). She was also
one of the road managers on the 1975 leg of The Rolling Thunder Revue,
and is mentioned in Larry
Sloman’s book “On the Road with Bob Dylan: Rolling with the Thunder” (Bantam
Books, 1978), and in the closing credits of Renaldo & Clara (see VHS & DVD 1970s). Thanks to Paul Pearson for information. |

Joan Baez - "Virgin Mary Had One Son" (traditional)/"Blowin' In The Wind" - 7" stereo promo singles, Vanguard Q-37 (Japan), 1973:
Vanguard Q-37 (Japan) - 7" stereo promo single front scan by Manuel García Jara (variant 1) |
These
stereo singles were given
away with the 2LP compilation Joan Baez
(Vanguard GEM 135-6), exclusively released in Japan in 1973, and made
for Vanguard by King Record Co. Ltd., Tokyo, Japan. There is a great
surprise! Blowin' In The
Wind is not the expected live version by Joan previously released in 1967 (see
Blowin' In The Wind Covers 1966-69)!
It is in fact the version actually performed by Bob with Joan Baez just as
an accompanying artist! R-0022-6 Blowin' In The Wind - performed live with Joan Baez and Peter, Paul and Mary at the Newport Folk Festival, Newport, RI, 26 Jul 1963 (stereo version), released in 1964 on the Vanguard LP The Newport Folk Festival - 1963: The Evening Concerts Vol. 1, see 1964 This is a stereo version, identical to the mono version included in the UK EP "Blowing In The Wind" (Fontana, TFE 18010, also see 1964), with a noticeable difference: the mono version of the Fontana EP starts with Bob saying "We gonna sing Blowin' In The Wind", not present in the stereo version on this Japanese single. I have not allocated this a separate R-number. |

The sleeve is the usual Japanese insert and the rear of the first variant has an image of the Joan Baez album with obi. The first variant record has white Vanguard promo labels including the Japanese characters for "SAMPLE" on the left below "45". Neither Bob Dylan nor the Newport Folk Festival are mentioned on the record labels. The A-side was recorded at the Newport Folk Festival 1959. The second variant record comes in a sleeve with a completely different rear, without the LP illustration, but with text in Japanese. The record now has buff Vanguard commercial labels with "JOAN BAEZ AT NEWPORT FOLK FESTIVAL" on the A-side and "JOAN BAEZ with BOB DYLAN" on the B-side.

Thanks to Lars M. Banke and Keith Venturoni for the information that the Canadian release of this LP (Columbia KC 32460) has the order of Billy 4 and Billy 7 reversed on the record itself but not on the sleeve or the label. However, the Canadian release does not have reverse stereo as previously reported, so it's no longer classed as a rarity. |
"Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid Original Soundtrack" - stereo vinyl LP, CBS/Sony SOPM 70 (Japan), 1973; CBS/Sony 25AP 284 (Japan), 1976, re-released 1977:
The 1973 Japanese packaging was unusual in that the obi took the form of a LP-sized card slip case (illustrated with stills from the film) rather than the usual side strip. The album also had a black and white insert. This release is extremely collectable because of this special packaging alone. The album was reissued in 1976 as CBS/Sony 25AP 284 with a white/red/black "regular" obi.
Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and
scans. Thanks to Lars M. Banke and Keith Venturoni for the information that the Canadian release of this LP (Columbia KC 32460)
has the order of
Billy 4 and Billy 7 reversed on the record itself but not on the sleeve or the

This track was recorded in Feb 1973 at the Jones ranch in Malibu, CA. Bob is credited as "Bobby" Dylan. Priscilla Jones, formerly Priscilla Coolidge, was the sister of singer Rita Coolidge, who recorded the same song (without Bob) with then husband Kris Kristofferson on their 1974 Monument album Breakaway.
The record is housed in a card picture inner sleeve with the song lyrics on the reverse. Also shown are a US test pressing from Monarch Record Mfg. Co. (same both sides) and both promo and commercial releases of the US album.

This is the rare promo version of the Canadian release. The sleeve is essentially identical to that of the US release. It has "Printed in Canada" on the spine, instead of "Litho in Canada". This promo copy doesn't include the inner sleeve as US and other commercial releases. The record has white A&M Canada promo labels with the promotional info overprinted.

The sleeve is essentially identical to the German sleeve above, except for the details shown (note the slight difference in catalogue number). The record comes in the normal card inner sleeve with Spanish copyright text on the rear. This album was released in Spain in early 1974 as stated in the copyright text at the bottom of the rear sleeve, even though the record labels have "1973" as the date of release. These labels have the new A&M design and they were also used in the rare Spanish single below taken from this album.
A&M/Ariola D 54.803 (Spain), 1974 (cassette release):
This cassette release with a completely different catalogue number is much rarer than the stereo vinyl release. It was again made by Ariola-Eurodisc of Barcelona and has a folded insert, blank on the reverse. The cassette has a white case with white A&M labels with black text.

This album (nicknamed "Columbia's Revenge") was issued by Columbia without Bob's authorisation during the period when Bob was with Asylum/Island, and consists entirely of covers, out-takes from Self Portrait and New Morning.
Lars M Banke has vinyl copies bought in Sweden of both the US and Canadian releases, with "CBS" stickers covering the "Columbia" logos on the sleeve and labels. Dr. Walter Roedl has a vinyl copy bought in Austria which is a standard Columbia US release except for a white sticker which folds over the top corners of the front and rear sleeves with the CBS logo and the Dutch catalogue number "CBS S 69 049". It has the red sticker from the US release. Unlike other export copies, the record labels are standard Columbia US design. Spain appears to be the only country where this album was released between 1973 and 1992 with three different catalogue numbers - the 1992 release was well after the album was out of print in the rest of the world!

CD releases:
Thanks to "Isis" magazine, Dec 2012, for news of the The Bootleg Series Vol. 10 - Another Self Portrait (1969-1971), a 2CD set of out-takes from the Self Portrait and other sessions, not including any tracks from the long-deleted 1973 Dylan album.

R-0099 A Fool Such As I
(Bill Trader) - Self Portrait
out-take recorded at Columbia Studios, Nashville, TN, 26 Apr 1969
This is the stereo version, a mono version (presumably a
reduction from stereo) was released on Columbia 7" singles (R-0099M, see
1974)
This song was written by Bill Trader, but is frequently wrongly credited on releases of this album and
Columbia singles to "B. Abner" (Buford Abner) - see authorship note
here!
R-0096 Spanish Is The
Loving Tongue (Charles Badger Clark/Billy Simon) - band version
with backing singers, Self Portrait
out-take recorded at Columbia Studios, Nashville, TN, 24 Apr 1969, not the solo
version R-0072 (stereo)/R-0072M (mono) released in 1971 as a single B-side, which was a 1970 New
Morning out-take. R-0072(M) has three verses, this version omits the
second one of those.
See the note about writer credits for this song in the entry for R-0072 in 1971.
This take is also different from the take released in 2013 on The
Bootleg Series, Vol. 10 - Another Self Portrait (1969-1971).

Rory Gallagher's Polydor album Tattoo was released on 11 Nov 1973.
For other 1970s albums in the same AFRTS series with Bob Dylan on one side and different artists on the other, see International Albums (Various Artist Compilations) 1970s. The 1978 AFRTS single LP release of Bob Dylan At Budokan (RL 21-9/P-18371-72) is not listed there because all tracks on both sides are by Bob Dylan. For that see the Bob Dylan At Budokan page in International Album Releases (Regular). For a 1981 AFRTS album with Bob Dylan and Art Garfunkel, see International Albums (Various Artists Compilations) 1980-86.

"Gold Disc" - vinyl compilation album in gold foil sleeve, CBS/Sony SOPN 25 (Japan), 1973:
CBS/Sony SOPN 25 (Japan) - front scan by Hans Seegers (first release with obi price ¥2,200) |
I previously had this listed for 1972, but Hans Seegers believes it to
be from 1974. Confusingly John Shaw says he purchased his
copy in Japan in 1973, a date of which he is sure. Wil Gielen supports the
1973 date. Presumably catalogue numbers starting with "SOPN" are later
than the "SOPI" release from Dec 1973 above. Sadly scans of the gold foil outside of the
gatefold sleeve of this
compilation, Vol. 17 of a series of "Gold Disc" compilations exclusive to
Japan, cannot do it justice. For an extracted "Gold Disc" 7" EP with Blowin In The Wind; Like A Rolling Stone; The Times They Are A-Changin' and Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, see International 7" Singles & EPs 1974. |

Lars M. Banke has two copies, and says the sleeves are different in colour, although the differences are imperceptible in the scans: copy 1 has "BOB DYLAN" in blue, whereas copy 2 has "BOB DYLAN" in brown.
This album has a rarity on Side 2:

For an extracted Gold Disc 7" EP with Blowin In The Wind; Like A Rolling Stone; The Times They Are A-Changin' and Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, see International 7" Singles & EPs 1974.
The first release has a price of ¥2,200 on the yellow, black and white obi, but the second copy shown has a blue sticker on the obi changing the price to ¥2,400. Apparently this was done in 1975 prior to reprinting the obis. John Shaw's copy is priced at ¥2,200, the same as Hans'. Sergio Mariano Romay's copy has a red sticker on the obi with the new price of ¥2,400, although this has not been changed on the rear of the obi. On the rear sleeve of this copy a sticker over the original price of ¥2,200 at bottom right has been removed, with some sleeve damage. The record comes in a gatefold sleeve with a 12" stapled booklet inside the sleeve. The booklet has a reproduction of Milton Glaser’s 1967 poster; a Bob Dylan biography (in Japanese only), the lyrics of the songs (in English and Japanese); and a centrefold that reproduces the main photo of Self Portrait, CBS/Sony C2X 30050 (inside of the gatefold sleeve, left side). The last page of the booklet has a photo of Dylan from the Concert for Bangladesh from Bob Dylan’s Greatest Hits Vol. II, CBS/Sony KG 31120 (again inside of the gatefold sleeve, left side). The inside of the gatefold sleeve has the tracklisting on the left and a Dylan discography on the right. The record comes in a paper inner sleeve with illustrations of other CBS/Sony releases in the "Gold Disc" series including Dylan. The copy shown has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - SOPN–25A1, Side 2 - SOPN–25B1.
