for Bob Dylan. No less than three art exhibitions, one in Milan and two in London. The Never- Ending tour hit North America in the Spring and Summer and Europe in the autumn. No new album but two major record releases all the same, the 10th volume of the Bootleg Series, Another Self Portrait and then the the career spanning box The Complete Album Collection Vol. One consisting of all regular Bob Dylan album releases and two discs with maerial from Greatest Hits and Biograph, all in all 47 CDs! During the last days of the year Sony Music again rushed out an extremely limited release in Europe with recordings from 1963 to extend their copyright ownership, this time on 6 vinyl LPs. 2 2013 AT A GLANCE I can do it all again — Bob Dylan 2013 page 5 of 55 3 THE 2013 CALENDAR 5 February Art exhibition of 23 new and previously unseen paintings by Bob Dylan, The New Orleans Series opens at Palazzo Reale, Milan, Italy.
