Bob Dylan will be re-releasing all of his albums in a massive 35 CD box set, covering 50 years of his career.
The 'Bob Dylan Complete Album Collection Vol. One' will contain material from the year 1962 - 2012 and is being released by Columbia and Legacy recordings. IT will include Dylan's self-titled debut as well as last year's release, Tempest.
Also, 14 of the albums have also been remastered and refreshed for the box set release, which will include six live albums ranging from 1972's Before The Flood through to his 1995 MTV Unplugged collection. If that's not enough for Dylan fans, there will also be a compilation of non-album cuts titled Side Tracks.
