Col. Hapablap Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I've been waiting for this news for at least the last decade..... March 20, 2007, 5:40 PM ET Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.After being out of print for more than a decade, the two studio albums from all-star band the Traveling Wilburys will return to the marketplace in a variety of formats June 12 via Wilbury Records/Rhino, Billboard.com has learned. "Traveling Wilburys Volume 1" and "Traveling Wilburys Volume 3" will be available together in one package with bonus tracks and a DVD of rare footage, as a deluxe linen-bound edition, a vinyl set and a digital bundle. The DVD boasts a 24-minute documentary and five music videos. The Wilburys formed in 1988 after Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Roy Orbison assembled at a California studio to record a B-side for the Harrison single "This Is Love." The resulting song, "Handle With Care," was instead released under the Wilburys name, with the artists posing as a band of brothers. It went on to reach No. 45 on the Billboard Hot 100, while the "Volume 1" album hit No. 3 on The Billboard 200. The reissued version of the album includes the previously unreleased tracks "Maxine" and "Like a Ship." Orbison died in late 1988 before a second album could be completed; it was eventually released as "Volume 3" in 1990. The set is expanded here with the B-side "Runaway" and "Nobody's Child," which was released on a benefit album for Romanian orphans.

TCP Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Ah!!! This is awesome! Some of my earliest memories are sitting in the back of my parents car, with my brothers and sisters, while my parents played Volume 1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

froggie Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 great news... volume 1 was one of the first albums i ever bought back in 88. hopefully there's an improvement on the sound quality on these, i still remember the first time i heard Handle with care on the radio and getting blown away by Heading for the light on the LP.. i have Like a ship (one of the bonus on a dylan boot somewhere.. will hunt it down) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 here's an mp3 of Like A Ship... sounds like an Under the red sky outtake - nice one http://www.sendspace.com/file/151bk2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Campaigner Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Awesome news. I'll keep the bootleg I bought because it's got some demos on there, but I'll be definitely be picking this up. Glad to see that Barbara Orbison got over her (supposed) objections to this album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I guess that copy of Volume 1 I've seen stickered at $45 at the CD Spins on Newbury St. will never be sold after all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Rufer Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Ah!!! This is awesome! Some of my earliest memories are sitting in the back of my parents car, with my brothers and sisters, while my parents played Volume 1. Me too! Jeff Lynne is hugely responsible for the way that CD (one of the first my family owned) sounds. Definitely sounds 80's but in a good way! I don't think it's just nostalgia but I wouldn't rule it out. Roy Orbison's "Not Alone"--incredible singing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Excellent - that mean my tired old vinyl copy of the first album can be retired to the dusty cupboard! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I don't really care for them - becasue of what cryptique said - and because I just don't care for the songs in general. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I don't really care for them - becasue of what cryptique said - and because I just don't care for the songs in general.Do you at least have "Tweeter & the Monkey Man" somewhere in your files? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
