1 INTRODUCTION

There were a lot of mixed releases this year, but no studio time. The releases included the Masked And Anonymous

soundtrack with four songs recorded last year. The Gods And Generals soundtrack contained the new song ‘Cross

The Green Mountain, also recorded last year. Sony introduced a new web-service called Custom Mix CD, where the

customer could choose up to twelve tracks and had his CD pressed and sent home. This service was however

discontinued at the end of the year. Sony also released fifteen Dylan albums in the new SACD Hybrid format.

And of course the Never-Ending Tour kept rolling on. This year Dylan played 98 concerts in Australia, New Zealand,

US and Europe.
