A deluxe package featuring both albums by the supergroup toend all supergroups, The Traveling Wilburys. Featuring Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty, both albums are packed full of wonderfully crafted melodies, whilst the bonus DVD includes a 'Making Of' featurette amongst additional unreleased material. Includes the tracks 'Handle With Care', 'Last Night' and 'She's My Baby'. Featuring classics like "Handle With Care," "End Of The Line," and "Heading For The Light," super-group Traveling Wilbury's Collection highlights all of the band's music and previously unreleased bonus tracks through this re-mastered double album. The DVD features behind the scenes footage of the band writing and recording, along with their 5 video clips.



There never was a supergroup more super than the Traveling Wilburys. They had Jeff Lynne, the leader of ELO; they had Roy Orbison, the best pop singer of the '60s; they had Tom Petty, the best roots rocker this side of Bruce Springsteen; they had a Beatle and Bob Dylan, for crying out loud! It's impossible to picture a supergroup with a stronger pedigree than that (all that's missing is a Rolling Stone), but in another sense it's hard to call the Wilburys a true supergroup, since they arrived nearly two decades after the all-star craze of the '70s peaked, and they never had the self-important air of nearly all the other supergroups. That, of course, was the key to their charm: they were a group of friends that fell together easily, almost effortlessly, to record a B-side for a single for George Harrison, then had such a good time they stuck around to record a full album, which became a hit upon its 1988 release. The Traveling Wilburys was big enough to convince the group to record a second album, cheerfully and incongruously titled Vol. 3, two years later despite the death of Orbison. Like most sequels, the second didn't live up to expectations, and by the time it and its predecessor drifted out of print in the mid-'90s, with the rights reverting to Harrison, nobody much noticed. A few years later, though, it soon became apparent that the Wilburys records - mainly, the debut, widely beloved thanks to its two hits, "Handle With Care" and "End of the Line" - were out of print, and they soon became valuable items as the Harrison estate dragged its heels on a reissue. Finally, the two albums were bundled up as a two-CD set simply called The Traveling Wilburys and reissued with a DVD containing a documentary and all the videos in the summer of 2007 (there is also a deluxe edition containing a longer, lavish booklet).

Looking back via The Traveling Wilburys, the group's success seems all the more remarkable because the first album is surely, even proudly, not a major statement. Even under the direction of Lynne, who seems incapable of not polishing a record till it gleams, it's loose and funny, even goofy. It's clearly a lark, which makes the offhanded, casual virtuosity of some of the songs all the more affecting, particularly the two big hits, which are sunny and warm, partially because they wryly acknowledge the mileage on these rock & roll veterans. "Handle With Care" and "End of the Line" are the two masterworks here, although Roy's showcase, "Not Alone Anymore" - more grand and moving than anything on the Lynne-produced Mystery Girl - comes close in the stature, but its stylized melodrama is a ringer here: it, along with Dylan's offhand heartbreak tune "Congratulations," is the only slow thing here, and the rest of the album just overspills with good vibes, whether it's Tom Petty's lite reggae of "Last Night," Jeff Lynne's excellent Jerry Lee Lewis update "Rattled," or Dylan's very funny "Dirty World," which is only slightly overshadowed by his very, very funny Springsteen swipe "Tweeter and the Monkey Man." These high times keep The Traveling Wilburys fresh and fun years later, after Lynne's production becomes an emblem of the time instead of transcending it. (The album contains two bonus tracks in this reissue, the excellent Harrison song "Maxine" - a low-key waltz that should have made the cut - and "Like a Ship," a folky dirge that builds into ELO-esque pop which is pretty good but doesn't have the effervescence of the rest.)

The Traveling Wilburys built upon Harrison's comeback with Cloud Nine and helped revitalize everybody else's career, setting the stage for Dylan's 1989 comeback with Oh Mercy, Petty's first solo album, Full Moon Fever, produced by Lynne (sounding and feeling strikingly similar to this lark), and Orbison's Mystery Girl, which was released posthumously. Given the success of this record and how it boosted the creativity of the rest of the five, it's somewhat a shock that the second effort falls a little flat. In retrospect, Vol. 3 plays a little bit better than it did at the time - it's the kind of thing to appreciate more in retrospect, since you'll never get another album like it - but it still labors mightily to recapture what came so effortlessly the first time around, a problem that can't merely be chalked up to the absence of Orbison (who after all, didn't write much on the first and only took lead on one song). Where the humor flowed naturally and absurdly throughout the debut, it feels strained on Vol. 3 - nowhere more so than on "Wilbury Twist," where Petty implores you to put your underwear on your head and get up and dance, the epitome of forced hilarity - and the production is too polished and punchy to give it a joie de vivre similar to the debut. That polish is an indication that Lynne and Petty dominate this record, which only makes sense because they made it between Full Moon Fever and Into the Great Wide Open, but it's striking that this sounds like more like their work, even when Dylan takes the lead on "Inside Out" or the doo wop-styled "7 Deadly Sins." Both of these are quite good songs and they have a few other companions here, like the quite wonderful country stomp "Poor House," but they're songs more notable for their craft than their impact - nothing is as memorable as the throwaways on the debut - and when combined with the precise production, it takes a bit for them to sink in. But give the record some time, and these subtle pleasures are discernible, even if they surely pale compared to the open-hearted fun of the debut. But when paired with the debut on this set, it's a worthy companion and helps support the notion that the Traveling Wilburys were a band that possesses a unique, almost innocent, charm that isn't diminished after all this time.

The music of supergroup the Traveling Wilburys was never meant to be taken too seriously. And perhaps because of this, the records had fallen completely out of print by the mid 1990s, a shocking occurrence for a triple platinum band. Rhino Records came to the rescue, however, with this fantastic set that includes not only both proper Wilbury albums (VOL. 1 and VOL. 3), but a handful of bonus tracks from each session, a DVD with all the videos and behind-the-scenes footage, and detailed liner notes. The meat of the order here is definitely the first disc, TRAVELING WILBURYS, VOL. 1, a certified masterpiece with five legends at the top of their game. Roy Orbison's "You're Not Alone Anymore" may be his finest performance since the '60s; Harrison's "Handle With Care" is as good as any solo Beatle hit; and Tom Petty's "Last Night" shows why he belongs rubbing shoulders with Orbison, a Beatle, and Dylan. Disc 2 features their follow-up record, TRAVELING WILBURYS, VOL. 3, and while it still holds up, the material is not quite as strong as on VOL. 1 (sadly, Roy Orbison, for one thing, had passed away by this point). There are still some gems, though, mostly from Petty: the country stomp "Poor House," the longing "New Blue Moon," and the lightly confused "Inside Out." Disc 3 is a DVD featuring complete music videos and a short behind-the-scenes documentary about the supergroup. This is a must-have for fans of the band and of the legends that comprise it.

The Traveling Wilburys were one of the few supergroups that lived up to their promise, because they didn't try to. Things started inauspiciously when George Harrison, needing a B-side for a 1988 single, called in friends Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Roy Orbison for assistance. Two albums later - the second without Orbison, who had passed away shortly after the first was released - the loose-knit collective had recorded material that was as durable, and occasionally eclipsed, the participants' legendary solo work. The Wilburys succeeded due to a genial and contagious camaraderie that permeates both discs. What could have been a train wreck of ego clashes instead resulted in a frothy meeting of the minds. These guys are having a blast, trading lead vocals and harmonies on energetic folk-rock, quirky rockabilly, and Beatlesque pop that shimmers with the respect and esteem the members clearly hold for each other. Harrison and Lynne's rather slick production polishes off edges that might better have been left unvarnished, but there's no denying the loosey-goosey craftsmanship at work in tunes such as "Handle with Care," "End of the Line," and a striking Orbison performance on "Not Alone Anymore" that ranks with any of his finest. Both albums were million-sellers, but oddly went out of print for about a decade until Rhino resurrected them, adding two rare tracks per disc as well as a DVD of music videos and a band documentary. The resulting package is a comprehensive overview of a once - well, twice - in-a-lifetime project that, especially after Harrison's passing, will never be repeated.

Die Wilburys waren zweifellos eine der größten Allstarbands aller Zeiten - ich meine: Dylan und ein Beatle (George Harrison) waren Mitglieder! Dazu der Mann, der "Pretty Woman" gesungen hatte und 1988 als Traveling Wilbury starb (Roy Orbison) sowie Tom Petty und Jeff Lynne. Zwei Alben lang frönten die Herren in den späten 80ern dem puren Spaß an der Freud und stürmten so die Charts. Satter klang Americanapop nie mehr. Beide Platten gibt es nun endlich auf CD, klangsatt remastert und ergänzt um je zwei Bonussongs - darunter den melancholischen Countrywalzer "Nobody's Child", der perfekt den Zeitraum markiert, an dem Tom Petty anfing, wie Dylan zu singen. Der Clou allerdings ist ein auf DVD beiliegender grobkörniger Kurzfilm von damals, der die Arbeit im Studio dokumentiert. George Harrison gibt den Pressesprecher, Orbison den gerührten Kollegenlober - und der verklemmte Dylan sagt wieder mal nichts. Wie konnte dieser wortkarge Wuschel eigentlich je Ja zu Filmangeboten sagen? Rein ins Archiv mit dieser 3-Scheibenbox, aber fix.

Knapp zwanzig Jahre ist es her, dass sich fünf der besten Songwriter und Musiker aller Zeiten zusammen taten, um eine Supergroup des American-Sounds zu bilden: Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, George Harrison und Jeff Lynne. Als THE TRAVELING WILBURYS legten sie mit lässiger Hand gleich mehrere US-Top-10-Singles hin und veröffentlichten zwei Alben, die alsbald Kultstatus erlangten. Seit 1997 waren beide Alben vergriffen und nicht mehr im Handel erhältlich. Nun veröffentlichen Warner Music Germany, Rhino und Wilbury Records das definitive TRAVELING WILBURY-Paket: The Traveling Wilburys Collection. The Traveling Wilburys-Collection enthält nicht nur die beiden Alben Vol. 1 und Vol.3, sondern auch rare B-Seiten und zwei unveröffentlichte TRAVELING WILBURY-Songs. (Alle Titel sind remastered). Zusätzlich gehört eine DVD dazu, die eine hervorragend gemachte und liebevoll zusammengestellte TRAVELING WILBURY-Dokumentation, alle fünf Videoclips und bislang unveröffentlichtes Footage enthält! Die Traveling Wilburys Collection wird in zwei verschiedenen Konfigurationen erhältlich sein: Als Standard Version im Digipak mit 2 CDs, DVD und 16 seitigem Booklet, als streng limitierte Deluxe Edition in einer aufwändigen Verpackung (Box Set) mit 2 CDs, DVD, speziellem Booklet (40 Seiten), Original-Liner-Notes, und vielen Fotos & Postkarten. Mit The Traveling Wilburys Collection ist einer der großen Schätze der Rockmusik wieder gehoben worden, denn die Songs stellen sich heute als wahrhaft zeitlos heraus. Und auch wenn George Harrison im Jahre 2001 nach langer Krankheit verstarb, werden die TRAVELING WILBURYS ihre Reise auf der The Traveling Wilburys Collection fortsetzen.
