Volume 1 Best Review
Back in November 1988, I purchased "The Traveling Wilburys Volume 1 cassette. I didn't know what to expect. Man I was really surprised. A Supergroup that's worth the hype. And it all started as a happy accident when George Harrison wanted to record "Handle Me With Care" with old and new friends. The song was going to be used as a B-Side single but whoever idea it was(probably former ELO member & producer Jeff Lynne)to make a whole record out of it. Lynn may have brought almost everyone together too since he produced Harrison, finished Orbison's soon to be released "Mystery Girl"(which would be his last) and was putting the finishing touches on Petty's first solo album "Full Moon Fever". Harrison may had brought Dylan in since they knew each other for years plus Petty tour with him two years before. I remember listening to the tape while I was studied for final exams during my sophomore year in college. When the tape was over, I played it again & said to myself, "Well, here's a tape that's full of great songs here, no fillers at all". And again give Jeff Lynne credit for balancing each artists talent here. Sadly after a month this CD was released, Roy Orbison past away while the CD received critical acclaim & climbing the charts, reaching No.2 on the charts. A decade later, Harrison past away. After 22 years later, this CD still sound fresh & fun to listened too. I'm glad Rhino/Warner re-released this CD so a new generation can buy & enjoy this classic(I don't understand why Capitol Records turned down re-releasing this gem while buying back the Harrison's master tapes from Warner Brothers Records). The Wilburys is still worth the hype.

Volume 1 Overview
This is the best record of it s kind ever made. Then again, it's also the only record of its kind ever made.
. . . one of the few rock supergroups actually deserving to be called either super or a group. Rolling Stone, 1988
With a line-up featuring legendary artists Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty, the Traveling Wilburys
were a one-of-a-kind musical phenomenon. The all-star configuration came about when they convened at a Southern California
studio in 1988 to record a b-side for a Harrison s single. They had such a rockin good time cutting Handle With Care that they decided to release it under the Wilburys moniker, and to continue the collaboration with an album's worth of songs. Their
camaraderie is heard in every groove on Rhino's remastered reissue of their now-historic, GRAMMY®-winning debut VOLUME 1.
They followed it up in 1990 with a second full-length, VOLUME 3 the disc was minus Orbison, who passed away in 88, but still
full of the spirit that made their musical brotherhood the stuff of legend. After being out of print for more than a decade, Rhino
reintroduced the classic discs boasting previously unreleased bonus tracks in 2007 as part of a special 2CD/DVD set The
Traveling Wilburys Collection. The expanded VOLUME 1 and VOLUME 3 are now available as individual titles.

Customer Reviews
A Had to replace CD - Penny Neuf - Springfield, IL
I think I wore my other CD out. Being one of my favorites, I ordered again.
Historically classic - E. Gamonal - SLC, UT, USA
When this album came out it was a remarkable collection of Singer/Songwriter guitarists. This Album contributed to the resurgence of Roy Orbison and new work from him. It also gave Dylan a place to showcase his poetry. All in all some selections are a little cheesy but the historic value more than makes up for it. This is a must have for any Adult Contemporary collection. Also real Songwriters can use it as a great example of collaboration between 5 giants in the industry.
PLEASED - CAT -
