Yes. The first Canadian releases of Freewheelin' (CL 1986/CS 8786)
used the withdrawn cover, which listed the withdrawn tracklist. The
rear cover had almost the correct songs, but omitted Don't Think
Twice, It's All Right as the first song on Side 2 (it's there on the
record).

There never was a Canadian release that included the withdrawn songs
on the LP itself. For more information, see these pages on my
