The Traveling Wilburys - Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 (2016 Remaster) The Traveling Wilburys

The Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 is the GRAMMY Award winning debut from The Traveling Wilburys (George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan and Roy Orbison) featuring the worldwide hits "Handle With Care" and "End Of The Line.”

Volume 1 was released in October 1988 to commercial success and critical acclaim. Although Harrison had long planned to start such a band, the project came about through happenstance. Harrison was in Los Angeles and in need of a B-side for a single from his album Cloud Nine, which resulted in the participants collaborating informally on the song "Handle with Care" at Dylan's home.

Adopting alter egos as the five Wilbury brothers, they then recorded a full album, produced by Lynne and Harrison (under the pseudonyms Otis and Nelson Wilbury respectively). It was the only Wilburys album to feature Roy Orbison and the final album featuring Orbison to be released during his lifetime - he died suddenly of a heart attack less than two months after its release. The group continued as a four-piece after his death.
