I bought this set while I picked up "The Biggest Bang".
I only listened to "Volume 1", so I'm looking forward to watching the DVD.

No doubt, it's a really really good album
Nevertheless I have to agree with Gazza, that Vol 1 is a more complete album - there are a few fillers on Vol 3, still I'd rate it pretty high
There seems to be a lot of people who love the Wilburys albums, but don't care at all for Dylan, Orbison, Harrison or Petty's other works....I'm not sure why, but I've noticed that
I do really like the first album. Especially Orbison’s vocals on Not Alone Anymore. The album just sounds a little dated to me though.
In regard to your point about people liking the Wilbury's but not their solo works, I think you have to remember that they are not the same thing. What you are hearing on these two records is a group working closely together in both recording and writing. At least that is the impression I have. What they created together isn't the same as what they create individually.
On the other hand, with a project such as the Travelling Wilbury's and the member’s huge reputations and followings, you'd perhaps think that they were a band that'd appeal hugely to those who were already fans of the members. You'd at least think they were the people who'd pay the most attention.

Yes you may be right,
but.....I get the impression that the songs or songparts on the album are written for and by one of the artists. You got a typical Dylan part, a typical Orbison part - both typical in the lyrics and typical in the choice of chords/notes. Handle With Care is a prime-example of such a "song builded up in parts", and Congratulations is only Bob Dylan..
THere's a few exceptions...those funny songs - "Wilbury Twist" - and also some of the rockers "She's My Baby" - those seems like their written by the whole Wilbury clan.
speaking of myself - it would take a lot of terrific reviews, for me to check out bands /projects if I didn't have any understanding for the artists previous works.
If I liked the project...I'd check out those artists career once again.
But anyway, this discussion might be pointless, as I can't possible know for sure if the thing I wrote on page 1 can be said as a general truth....it's just me who noticed this thing about 20-30 times. ANother reason could be simply that a big chunk of the people buy whichever albums that tops the saleslist, and the 5 artists in question haven't done that often the last 30 years - but Travelling WIlburys did, where I live at least.
"Volume 1" might be a bit dated, but not compared to most albums from 1988, lol

Good post Erik and fair enough points. I think I was just rambling a bit yesterday. At the end of the day, bioth are excellent and everyone who apreciates these guys music, should check them out. It's absoloutley ridiculous, but I haven't checked out the DVD yet!

According to Petty, George Harrison basically ran the show during the recording sessions. He'd have everyone sort of "audition" their way through the whole song, and then decide who best suited each part.

OK thanks yes it makes sense - George seems to be the most organized and productive guy of the lot
Handle With Care sounds like one of them auditions, each of the Wilburys gets to give George a reply

Another #1 for Bobby!!!
Wilburys are UK album number one
US singer-songwriter Bob Dylan was a member of the Traveling Wilburys
The Traveling Wilburys made a return to the charts as the supergroup scored a number one UK album with a collection of their greatest hits.
The band - which included Roy Orbison, George Harrison and Bob Dylan - came together in 1988 to produce two albums.
Bon Jovi also scored a high new entry at two with Lost Highway, while the Police's greatest hits album reached number three.
Barbadian singer Rihanna stayed at the top of the singles chart with Umbrella.
"Here's to George, Roy and the Boys, my favourite guys. Congratulations Wilburys," Olivia Harrison, George Harrison's wife, said about the Wilbury's collection reaching number one.
Reality TV hit
Rihanna held off a challenge from the White Stripes with their latest single Icky Thump, which moved from 13 to two.
Enrique Iglesias, Kelly Rowland and Mutya Buena were also in the top five.
New entries in the singles chart included Kelly Clarkson with Never Again at nine, The Holloways with Generator at 14 and Marillion's Thankyou Whoever You Are at 15.
Lee Mead, the winner of the BBC's talent show Any Dream Will Do, saw his version of the song from the Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat musical reach number 18 on downloads alone.
The song will go on general release on Monday, with profits going to Children in Need.

In the context, this can't be goog.

Considering the fact that theyre playing the UK in about two weeks and the Wilburys album is merely a reissue of two albums from almost twenty years ago, its not bad at all!

More than 110.000 copies sold during the first week in U.K, an impressive number. The set could debut in the top 10 in U.S too.
The Vol. 1 is fantastic.

Would you then multiply it by three because of the three disc set? Or would you divide it by three to get the actual copies sold?

George really wanted me in the Wilburys instead of Dylan. I was too busy in the studio at the time, however, recording "Flowers in the Dirt".
By the way, make sure to check out my new album, Memory Almost Full, either on Itunes or at your local Starbuck's! It really is the best Macca in years.

110,000 is the numbers of sets sold, it would be more than 330,000 CD's counting each one.
