Still great music after all these years.......2007-06-16

Wow, I must really be getting old, because I remember buying this album in high school and enjoying every single track on it. Over the years I have bought and sold a lot of CDs, but I've never even thought about selling this one. Not only that, but I still listen to it frequently (though of course now it's on my ipod - gotta keep up with the times after all). Unlike some "all-star" albums, this one isn't an ego fest. No one artist tries to outdo the others or steal the show. Instead, it's as if these five remarkably talented musicians just sat around having fun in the studio and ended up with some great music. I've never heard anything else that sounds like the Traveling Wilburys' unique and original style.

History of the Traveling Wilburys Volume 1 .......2007-03-19

Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 was the debut album by the supergroup Traveling Wilburys and was recorded and released in 1988 to enormous commercial success and critical acclaim.

In the afterglow of George Harrison's 1987 comeback album Cloud Nine, he initiated a musical jam early the following year between friends Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne. Lynne was involved in producing songs for Roy Orbison's Mystery Girl album and invited him along. At the jam session, an idea was proposed to record a one-off album together under the name of Traveling Wilburys. Masquerading as the Wilbury brothers, the participants would be known as Nelson (Harrison), Otis (Lynne), Lucky (Dylan), Lefty (Orbison) and Charlie T. Jnr (Petty).

With Harrison having the greatest claim to the band, he signed them up to Warner Bros. Records, his current label, and incorporated their own Wilbury Records label, in addition to producing the sessions with Lynne that spring.

In October, Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 (so named because of the unlikelihood of there being another) was released, preceded by "Handle with Care" as the lead single. Although the single did not scale the pop charts (it stalled at US #45), the album did, reaching #16 in the UK and an impressive #3 in the US. With over forty weeks on the charts, the album was later certified double-platinum. While Harrison and Petty had had recent successes, Dylan, Orbison and Lynne had not seen an album climb that high in several years. At the time, no Dylan album had ever achieved two million in sales. As one critic put it, it was "one of the great commercial coups of the decade."

Most critics said the group's modest ambitions were fresh and relaxing. During 1989 and 1990 the album won many accolades, not least a Grammy for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group.

Orbison suddenly died of a heart attack on 6 December 1988, surprising much of the music industry and press. The sleeve cover for "End Of The Line", the group's second single, was photographed four days after Orbison's death. Depicting a guitar in Orbison's rocking chair, it was taken as a tribute. As for Orbison, this album was released at the same time as his Mystery Girl album in 1989, and both their success made Orbison one of two singers (Elvis Presley being the other) to have two albums both reach the charts posthumously.

Both Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 and its unexpected 1990 follow-up Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3 were deleted in the mid-1990's with rights reverting to Harrison and his estate after his 2001 death. With all of his solo catalogue having reverted to EMI after almost twenty years with Warner Bros. Records, who distributed his Dark Horse Records label, both Traveling Wilburys albums appear set to be re-issued through EMI. Tom Petty was recently quoted to have said that they would be re-released in late 2005, though nothing, as of December 2006, has come of these claims.

Love the Wilburys, But Where The CD?.......2007-03-04

What an awsome recording too bad it's not in print. i have no idea why, because it's a great record of the greatest supergroup of superstars ever formed for a fun project, together they threw ideas at one another, it resulted in the ultimate record of the 20th century and beyond a timeless piece. George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne And Roy Orbison playing together no egos getting in the way. the guys are just having fun, is'nt that what Rock n' Roll is all about, instead of getting boozed up and all the drama just play for the fun of it.

When is somebody going to get smart and re-release this recording.

I'm Glad I have a copy of it already that i got years ago before it when out of print, i just saved in on my itunes and i'm going to put the cd in my safe. because i don't want to have to buy again at these high prices.

This is such a grand collaberation from some of the greatest songwriters ever. "She's My Baby" should have been a top ten hit. And listen to the soulful piece by Roy Orbison that has as much power as "Pretty Woman" and you'll know this is a must have for any music collector.
