TRAVELING WILBURY'S MUSIC AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A DECADE.

Remastered and Expanded Collectible Packages Feature Unreleased Bonus Tracks and DVD.

Release Date US June 12, 2007, Worldwide June 11, 2007.

Nearly 20 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 was reissued on June 11, 2007 in the US and June 12, 2007 Worldwide. Rhino Entertainment announced the project and is distributing the package from the Wilbury Records label.

The previously released record albums, "Traveling Wilburys - Volume 1" and "Traveling Wilburys - Volume 3" feature inarguable some of the music's greatest singer-songwriters - George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and Bob Dylan -- as the iconic band. Both CDs are combined into one release, "The Traveling Wilburys Collection," and feature rare and newly remixed 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 Collectible package are available in four configurations. Each configuration is a remarkable commemoration of this unique group.

Linen-bound with the Wilburys logo on a brilliant blue background, the Second Deluxe Edition follows the original cream-colored Traveling Wilburys Collection (Deluxe), which sold out on the first day of its worldwide release in June 2007.



* Vinyl Edition - Features two vinyl releases of Volumes 1 and 3 with an additional 12-inch featuring bonus tracks, a collectible album-sized book, plus additional postcards/posters.

* Digital Edition Bundle - Features downloadable editions of both CDs (Volumes 1 and 3) with bonus tracks, video content, and interactive booklet.

The Traveling Wilburys release marks the first time in 10 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 to me is -- if we 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 thing really."

[yerblues1968]

The Traveling Wilburys were a supergroup consisting of George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and Bob Dylan. The band recorded two albums during the two years they were together (1988 to 1990).

"Wilburys" was a slang term coined by Harrison and Lynne during the recording of Cloud Nine as a reference to recorded "flubs" that could be eliminated during the mixing stage (i.e., "'We'll bury' them in the mix"). The term was used again when the entire group was together. Harrison suggested "The Trembling Wilburys" as the group's name, but Lynne suggested using "Traveling" instead. Everyone agreed.

Starting at a meal between Roy Orbison, George Harrison, and Jeff Lynne, the group got together at Bob Dylan's home studio in Malibu, California to record an additional track as a B-side for the single release of Harrison's "This Is Love". Tom Petty's involvement came by chance as Harrison had left his guitar at Petty's house. The band, however, decided that the song that resulted, "Handle with Care", was too good to be released as a "single filler".

The members enjoyed working together so much that they decided to create a full album together under various pseudonyms; all sons of Charles Truscott Wilbury, Sr. and half brothers. Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1, written by all the members, was recorded over a ten-day period—as Dylan was scheduled to leave on a tour—in May 1988 and released on October 18. It was ranked #70 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of 100 Greatest Albums of the 80's and nominated for Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1990.



The death of Roy Orbison on December 6, 1988 prevented further full collaborations, but the band did continue. In tribute to Orbison; during the video for "End of the Line", in the section where Orbison sings, his guitar is shown in a rocking chair followed by a photo of him.

The Traveling Wilburys contributed the title track, "Nobody's Child", to the Romanian Angel Appeal benefit album "Nobody's Child: Romanian Angel Appeal", released on July 24, 1990. A second Wilbury's album, Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3 was released on October 30, 1990, but met less success than the first one. Harrison once claimed in an MTV interview that the band had written material for a "Vol. 2", but the material was stolen before completion. Another reason offered for the lack of a "Vol. 2" is that Tom Petty's 1989 release, "Full Moon Fever," featured George Harrison, Roy Orbison, and Jeff Lynne, making it a de facto Wilburys album. The "official" story (from the perspective of the fictional Wilbury family) is that Vol. 3 was written and performed by a different set of Wilburys (hence the new Wilbury names), and that they skipped Vol. 2 so that title could be used if the original band ever reunites. This was a final nod to Orbison, effectively saying that the original band could never reunite. In the booklet contained in the 2007 box set, the album name is credited to 'George being George'.



In the late 90s and early 2000s, the two Traveling Wilburys albums had limited availability and were out of print in most territories. Harrison, as primary holder of the rights, did not reissue them prior to his 2001 death. In June 2007, the two albums were reissued as the "The Traveling Wilburys Collection", a box set including both albums on CD (with bonus tracks) and a DVD featuring a twenty-four minute band documentary and a collection of music videos.

The box set was released in two editions; the standard edition, with both CDs and DVD in a double Digipak package and a 16-page booklet; or a "deluxe" boxed edition with the CDs and DVD and an extensive 40-page booklet, artist postcards, and photographs. Additionally, the iTunes Store carries a digital version which features both albums, the documentary, and videos.

The release surprised many when it debuted at No. 1 in the UK Album Charts. It also debuted at No. 1 on the United World Chart, and reached the same on the Australian album charts, Amazon's pre-order and sales lists, and iTunes. On the US Billboard 200 it reached #9. The collection sold 500,000 copies worldwide during the first three weeks and remained in the UK top 5 for seven weeks after its release.

The Traveling Wilburys of Volume 1 were:

Nelson Wilbury - George Harrison
Otis Wilbury - Jeff Lynne
Lefty Wilbury - Roy Orbison
Charlie T. Jr. - Tom Petty
Lucky Wilbury - Bob Dylan

The Traveling Wilburys of Volume 3 were:

Spike Wilbury - George Harrison
Clayton Wilbury - Jeff Lynne
Muddy Wilbury - Tom Petty
Boo Wilbury - Bob Dylan

Additional named Traveling Wilburys on the 2007 Collection were:

Buster Sidebury - Jim Keltner
Ayrton Wilbury - Dhani Harrison

Jim Keltner, the session drummer and percussionist, was not listed as a Wilbury in Volume 1 or 3; however, he is in some of the music videos. In the DVD released in 2007, he is given the Wilbury nickname 'Buster Sidebury'. Furthermore, overdubs to the unreleased tracks "Maxine" and "Like A Ship" credit Ayrton Wilbury, a pseudonym for Dhani Harrison.
