George Harrison's widow promises reissue of Traveling Wilburys albums next George Harrison's widow Olivia Harrison is trying to follow his high standards for her recent and future reissues of the "quiet Beatle's" work. Last month, Harrison's 1973 Number One album Living In the Material World was reissued under Olivia's supervision.
Olivia told us that the new reissue was one of the final projects Harrison worked on before his death in 2001. She also said that the next reissue will jump ahead 15 years, to the first Traveling Wilburys album: "It's really nice to get this one done. He'd remastered this already in 2001 himself, but he didn't get a chance to finish it. I think next year the Wilburys is so overdue -- way overdue. And there's a lot of great material on that as well, so I'm just trying to get to it."
1988's Traveling Wilburys Vol. One album featured Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, ELO's Jeff Lynne, and Tom Petty. After Orbison's death in 1989, the band regrouped the following year for Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3.
Home footage from the albums' sessions is expected to be released on DVD in conjunction with the Wilburys reissues. There's no release date set for the reissues, nor any word whether they will released at the same time.
Living In The Material World was the follow-up to Harrison's first mainstream solo album, 1970's All Things Must Pass, and featured his second Number One hit, "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)." George's album and single replaced Paul McCartney & Wings' Red Rose Speedway and "My Love" at the Number One spot on the Billboard 200 Album and Hot 100 singles charts, respectively.
Living In The Material World was the first time a former Beatle recorded a solo project in the group's Apple Studios, which had last been used by the group in 1969 to record their album Let It Be.

It's too bad the Travelling Wilburys never toured after their debut album since it would have been huge at the time with George, Dylan, Lynne, Orbison & Petty in the band.
I want you, I want you so bad babe. I want you, I want you so bad. It's driving me mad, it's driving me mad.

The last I heard Barbara Orbison was dead against this for some reason.
BTW. Why is the second album called Volume 3?
I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.

I love Handle With Care
"Handle With Care" is a song from the Traveling Wilburys 1988 album, Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1. Writing credits are shared by all five band members, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and Bob Dylan.
The song was originally intended as a bonus track (or "B side") for the B-Side of Harrison's "This is Love". Harrison had not yet written a song for the B-side when an impromptu gathering of the musicians who became the Wilburys turned into an informal songwriting and jam session. Casting about for a song idea while relaxing in a garden near Bob Dylan's recording studio, Harrison was inspired when he noticed a box in Dylan's garage that was labeled "Handle with Care". The box also inspired the opening line: "been beat up and battered around." The complete song quickly followed, with different members of the gathering contributing various lines. The group moved to a recording studio and quickly laid down the basic tracks which were later polished by eventual Wilburys producer Jeff Lynne.
The song has an easy, mid-tempo acoustic rock structure, and features Harrison on the primary vocal, and includes two consecutive bridge sections with Orbison singing the plaintive first bridge section and the rest of the group sharing vocals on the song's second refrain.
Harrison's record company quickly realized that the song was too good to be released as "filler." Encouraged by this response and the enjoyable experience of recording together, the group re-convened to record the first Wilburys album, which featured "Handle With Care" as the lead track. It reached #45 on the Billboard Hot 100."
I'm suprised it only reached No.45 in the US. I'd have thought given the collective fame of the members that it would have been a No.1 for certain. It certainly deeserves to have been.

What's your source for that?
Not that I don't believe you

Some say Petty's "Full Moon Fever" was unofficially Vol. 2 of the Wilburys. As far as Barbara Orbison is concerned, I believe the Harrison estate owns the masters. And being a good businesswoman, I don't know why she would object. But who knows?
George plays some great guitar on the CDs and shows what a great leader (along with Jeff Lynne) he could be in a creative project.
Makes you think he was doing more than just sitting around when John and Paul were writing those songs.
[...] Makes you think he was doing more than just sitting around when John and Paul were writing those songs.
That reminds me of that moment at the Get Back project (you can see it in the Anthology DVDs) when they are "discussing" where to play the concet and Paul is somehow fearful of George's reaction ... Paul's constantly looking at George and trying to handle the situation at his best, trying to not disturb George ... a moment that says a lot!
Seriously, if you watch those Ed Sullivan performances--the biggest screams go as much for George's guitar solos and John and Pauls' Little Richard style "wooooos."
The audience seems almost bored with "Till There was You."
