[ Wilbury Record Co. / Rhino Records / 3 CD/DVD ]
Release Date: Tuesday, 12 June, 2007
This digitally re-mastered, special package of the long awaited re-issue of both 'Traveling Wilburys' albums comes with a DVD, bonus tracks, plus a 16-page booklet with photos and detailed liner notes. The DVD boasts a 24-minute documentary and five music videos.
The Wilburys formed in 1988 after Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Roy Orbison assembled at a California studio to record a B-side for the Harrison single "This Is Love." The resulting song, "Handle With Care", was instead released under the Wilburys name, with the artists posing as a band of brothers. The five solo stars had been friends for years and got together purely as a fun musical venture -- and it shows. The album achieved wide critical acclaim, and most critics agreed that the music was so extraordinary because of the modest ambitions of the band, which translated to a fresh and relaxing sound.
"Handle With Care" went on to reach No. 45 on the Billboard Hot 100, while the 'Volume 1' album hit No. 3 on The Billboard 200, garnered double-platinum status and earned the group a Grammy Award for "Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group". The re-issued version of the album includes the previously unreleased tracks "Maxine" and "Like a Ship."
Sadly, Orbison died in late 1988 before a second album could be completed; it was eventually released as 'Volume 3' in 1990. The set is expanded here with the B-side "Runaway" and "Nobody's Child", which was released on a benefit album for Romanian orphans.
In trying to explain how the Wilburys originally came together, George Harrison once said, "The thing about the Wilburys for me is -- if we'd tried to plan it, or if anybody had said, let's form this band and get these people in it -- it would never happen, it's impossible. It happened completely, just by magic, just by circumstance. Maybe there was a full moon that night or something like that. It was quite a magical little thing really."
