Volume One

Limited picture disc vinyl LP pressing. The Traveling Wilburys never referred to themselves as a supergroup. Comprised of some of the biggest names in modern music, the band was formed out of friendship, spontaneity, and some would say pure kismet. The Traveling Wilburys consisted of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, and Roy Orbison. The project came about through happenstance when Harrison, in need of a B-side for a single from his Cloud Nine album, collaborated informally with the others on the song "Handle with Care" at Dylan's home. Adopting alter egos as the five Wilbury brothers, they recorded a full album produced by Lynne and Harrison. The Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 was nominated for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1989 and helped revitalize the careers of Dylan, Orbison, and Petty. This album has been certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
