George Harrison's \"Cloud Nine\" album was already a success, and Warner Records asked Harrison to record a B-side for the album's fifth single, the song \"This is Love.\" Harrison and his producer Jeff Lynne decided it would be nice to collaborate with Roy Orbison. The three men then went to Bob Dylan's house to use his private studio. However, once there, Harrison realized he had left one of his guitars at Tom Petty's house. While retrieving it, the former Beatle decided to invite the \"American Girl\" performer to the recording session. The five men all ended up participating in the recording of the song \"Handle with Care.\" Once the song was submitted to the record company executives, they found it far too good to be used only as a B-side. The five men enjoyed working together immensely, and so the idea of recording a full album was launched. The album \"Traveling Wilburys \/vol. 1\" was recorded in 10 days in May 1988, and all twelve songs were written by the band members. \"Handle with Care\" became the first track on the album and also the first single released from it. To this day, few vocal performances have been as moving as Roy Orbison's on this track. The album also features the song \"Tweeter and the Monkey Man.\" This song was written by Bob Dylan and is a pseudo-tribute to Bruce Springsteen. Early in his career, Springsteen was often said to be the next Bob Dylan. The album concludes very fittingly with \"End of the Line,\" which became one of the album's biggest hits. To create a kind of mythology, each band member invented a pseudonym with the surname Wilbury: Nelson Wilbury (George Harrison), Otis Wilbury (Jeff Lynne), Charlie T. Wilbury Jr (Tom Petty), Lefty Wilbury (Roy Orbison), Lucky Wilbury (Bob Dylan). \"Traveling Wilburys \/vol. 1\" was such a big hit, selling over two million copies, that a second volume was released in 1990. Ironically, the album was titled \"Traveling Wilburys \/vol. 3.\" The idea came from George Harrison, who liked the idea of people searching in vain for volume 2. However, the band's dynamic had changed significantly since the tragic death of Roy Orbison in 1988.","brand":"Traveling Wilburys","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56383661080920,"sku":null,"price":20171215.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0888072009646.jpg?v=1765624704","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/traveling-wilburys_the-traveling-wilburys-vol-3_2017_uni","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
