Thanks to TV documentary about his life...

Sales of Bob Dylan records have soared as a result of last week's documentary about his life, music figures show.
His 2004 compilation The Essential Bob Dylan has doubled its sales and is now heading back into the Top 40. HMV has reported a massive increase across the singer's enormous back catalogue over the past month.
This news comes following the midweek screening of Martin Scorsese's two-part Dylan documentary 'No Direction Home'.
HMV head of music Phil Penman said: "These are the largest increases we've seen with Dylan's catalogue for many years. As with other music icons, such as Elvis, the Beatles and Sinatra, Dylan has a significant fan-base and his recordings will always sell.
"In September, however, there has been an enormous renewed interest in his work, with HMV stores throughout the country reporting substantial increases in sales of his catalogue."
