Subject: Travelling Wilburys
Written By: whistledog on 05/10/07 at 7:30 am
The Travelling Wilburys was a supergroup created by Jeff Lynne and George Harrison, and also featuring Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan. Initially they got together in 1987 to record a B-side for a George Harrison single, and eventually decided to make an album together.
They would go on and release two successful albums: 'Travelling Wilburys Volume 1' and 'Travelling Wilburys Volume 3' . Many speculate that there was no Volume 2 because all of the members appear on Tom Petty's 1989 album 'Full Moon Fever', so it is often considered the 2nd Wilburys record.
When Roy Orbison passed away in 1988, Del Shannon was in consideration to be his replacement, but his abrubt suicide in early 1990 forced the remaining members to continue on as a quartet
Here's the North America and UK hit singles ...

That's what I've been hearing. Apparently the widows of Orbison and Harrison have given the go-ahead, and the disco will include some bonus tracks

So it's like a box set with bonus DVD and collectors book. That's cool. It's been long overdue that these CD's get re-issued

You may already know this but their first album was called Volume 1 and their second album was titled Volume 3. They only recorded 2 albums.

And don't forget the 5th Wilbury:

The same Wilbury also played and sang on the "Cloud Nine" album, which was where the entire idea for the group came from in the first place.

The Traveling Wilburys really piqued my interest at the time they appeared. Collaborations weren't new, as many artists experimented with working together then. However, not since CSNY can I recall such a powerhouse of well established stars coming together and taking on a new group identity. Besides, I liked and/or admired all the individuals that made up the group. Thus I was hooked by the first album.
Sadly, after Orbison's death in late '88, the promise of the group never quite played out... :-\\
Thanks for all the info on the upcoming release! :)

Does anyone know the B-Side song that they recorded for George Harrison?
