Traveling Wilburys albums to be reissued, with extras, in June

Thanks to Nigel Boddy for the news he got from www.spincds.com that the two hard-to-buy Traveling Wilburys albums (I can’t remember ever seeing either CD on sale in the High Street) are being re-released on 11/12 June as a single product, with extra tracks and a DVD.

Yummy!

The two Traveling Wilbury albums were cherished by Dylan fans as a sign that, after the multiple disappointments of the 1980s, Uncle Bob might not be quite ready for the scrapheap. Alongside Biograph, Oh Mercy and Bootleg Series vols 1-3, the Wilburys albums presaged a return to form.

Vastly enjoyable good-time romps, they should be in the collection of any half serious Dylan fan.
