What Wicked Pissah News!!!!
Where There's a Wilbury, There's a Way
Traveling Wilburys Music Available for the First Time in a Decade
Remastered and Expanded Collectible Packages Feature Unreleased Bonus
Tracks and DVD
LOS ANGELES, March 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Nearly twenty years after the
creation of the band, and over a decade since the music was last available
to fans, the music of The Traveling Wilburys will be reissued on June 12,
2007, in the U.S. and June 11, 2007, worldwide. Rhino Entertainment
announced the project today and will distribute the package from the
Wilbury Records label.
The previously released albums Traveling Wilburys Volume 1 and
Traveling Wilburys Volume 3 feature inarguably some of music's greatest
singer- songwriters -- George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty
and Bob Dylan -- as the iconic band The Traveling Wilburys. Both CDs will
be combined into one release, The Traveling Wilburys Collection, and will
feature bonus tracks of rare and newly mixed previously unreleased music
along with a bonus DVD featuring a 24-minute documentary showing unseen
footage of the Wilburys and their five video clips.

The Traveling Wilburys release marks the first time in ten years the
product has been issued. Marking the occasion, Rhino Entertainment
President Scott Pascucci commented, "We're honored to be involved with
making the music of this extraordinary group available again."
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."
The Traveling Wilburys BACKGROUND
The Traveling Wilburys was not a carefully planned band, not formed
from deep premeditation. Rather, the band was created in a casual blending
of genuine friends one ordinary afternoon, which turned out to be anything
but ordinary.
George Harrison needed a B-side song to accompany a European single
release from his widely regarded Cloud Nine album. While in Los Angeles,
George approached Jeff Lynne for help with the B-side, since he had
co-produced the album. It happened that Jeff was working with Roy Orbison
on the upcoming Mystery Girl album. Roy readily agreed to lend a hand in
the musical effort. As fate would luckily dictate, George's guitar was at
Tom Petty's house, and he too offered to join in and make some music. When
the group showed up to record, Dylan also lent a hand to help complete the
half-finished song George had written. George has often been quoted as
saying, "And so everybody was there and I thought, I'm not gonna just sing
it myself, I've got Roy Orbison standing there. I'm gonna write a bit for
Roy to sing. And then, as it progressed, then I started doing the vocals
and I just thought I might as well push it a bit and get Tom and Bob to
sing the bridge." The final result was a song called "Handle With Care."
George later said, "I liked the song and the way that it turned out with
all these people on it so much that I just carried it around in my pocket
for ages thinking, well what can I do with this thing? And the only thing
to do I could think of was do another nine. Make an album."
The album they created was called the Traveling Wilburys Volume 1 -- a
playful nod to the reality that subsequent volumes were unlikely. Volume 1
was released in October 1988 preceded by the single "Handle With Care." 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. Rolling Stone Magazine
instantly called it one of the Top 100 Albums of all time. The album also
saw commercial success; it reached #3 on the Album charts, garnered double-
platinum status and earned the group a Grammy(R) for Best Rock Performance
by a Duo or Group.
In 1990, following the unexpected death of Roy Orbison in December
1988, the remaining members reconvened to record Traveling Wilburys Volume
3, dedicating the album to Lefty (Roy) Wilbury. With Harrison and Lynne
producing again, both "She's My Baby" and "Wilbury Twist" became radio hits
as the album reached #11 in the U.S. and achieved Platinum success.

I'm glad they finally reissued the TWs -- even if the second album never really made good on the promise of the first. |

Without Lynne, no Orbison comeback LP with You Got It, no Harrison Cloud Nine, Wilburys. GC speaks the truth!
I have boots of Wilburys with Del Shannon, it's just not the same, it's ok. |

The crap around here which was in '05 for not signing Petey Mango Tree Martinez to the 4 yr deal, has turned out to be the best non signing in Sox history, right behind the vetoed Payrod deal... |
