Amazon.co.uk Review
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. 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. --Hal Horowitz

An acciident waiting to happen April 9, 2008
By trying to find a B side to the then current Harrison single the wheels cranked into motion for one of the most remarkable musical happennings of the 20th century.The fact that it happenned in the 80s made that decade a little more than one in which according to the rock critics "nothing of consequence happenned" and the decade where Dylan is supposed to have cut his worst albums
The music could have lived in the 60s and was in fact made by survivors from the 60s (and 70s re Tom Petty who was really a carry on of the 60s).
The Travelling Wilburys probably intended to make just the one album but a 2nd one would follow named Volume 3 on purpose.
The Travelling Wilburys were not without tragedy as Roy Orbison passed away and his intended replacement Del Shannon-whose last album had been produced by Petty- followed.
Since the 2 Wilbury albums have come at least half a dozen unofficial releases like Family Album and now with this CD many of the unissued at the time songs are available and this very CD collection topped the album charts in the U K
Superb package January 5, 2008

I bought the original album when it came out in the late 1980's, but never bought Vol 3. This package reissues Vol 1 with Vol 3 and a DVD containing the videos for the singles and a short documentary as well.
To see and hear this supergroup on the DVD was emotional. George Harrison was always behind Lennon/McCartney in discussions about the Beatles but when he did things well he was amongst the very best. Now of course he's gone along with Roy Orbison as well. 'Handle With Care' features these two on vocals with Harrisons distinctive slide guitar prominant as well. This is a magical track. I've been a long time fan of Orbison and his amazing voice and as one of the band says on the DVD to have arguably the greatest pop singer (Orbison) and the greatest lyric writer (Dylan) in the same group was just incredible.
All the guys contribute memorable parts to both albums and whilst the second album suffers from the loss of Orbison (any album would) its still a fine recording. The DVD isn't that long but its certainly of historical interest, and one I shall watch again.
Enjoy the legends, we probably won't ever see a band like this again.
Do the Wilbury Twist! January 2, 2008

Roll up your carpets for the Wilbury Twist. Well, OK, it's not the best song in the collection, but it's a lot of fun. And fun is clearly what the band members had when they made the albums. They weren't in it for the money.
Frankly, the two albums alone are worth buying but the addition of the DVD makes it a must-have for rock music lovers.
Now - if only I could find Volume 2....
DVD was a joy December 30, 2007

I have been listening to good music and I mean good music- for a very long time. I already have the other discs released but the dvd was a joy to see. You see that they really enjoyed the whole 'bit' and I felt very happy when watching the dvd. Joyous!!!

A great collection. I have never tired of TW 1 and 3 and listened to them both hundreds of times. Now the complete collection! A really great present for anybody (any age) who likes a bit of rock with real class.
