Wilburys Re-Released

The Traveling Wilburys, the super group of the late 80’s have finally had their albums re-released after years of what I understand to have been issue with royalties.

The Traveling Wilburys consisted of:

• George Harrison – the former Beatle, as if you needed to be told that
• Jeff Lynne – from the band Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)
• Tom Petty – soloist, also performed with The Heartbreakers
• Roy Orbison – need I say more
• Bob Dylan – legendary lyricist and folk singer

Formed purely by chance the five friends got together and in 9 days had recorded their first album aptly titled ‘Volume 1.’ It was magical that five stars in their own right could collaborate on such a project and make it work. The finished product is exquisite.

The package also includes their second album named ‘Volume 3’, a documentary showing the making of ‘Volume 1’, as well as their five music videos, including those of their biggest hits ‘Handle With Care’ and ‘End of the Line’.

Great music, great story, and a fantastic affordable package. I first saw its availability on an iTunes Music Store email but I found it cheaper at JB’s. Do yourself a favour.
