Detail :

In an interview of June 11th 1999, George revealed that ownership of his entire 1976-1992 Dark Horse/Warner Bros. catalogue had reverted back to him. This included the two Traveling Wilburys albums. In addition, he said that he was contemplating re-issuing his albums with unreleased bonus tracks. Here at last in 2007 are the Wilburys, remastered and with bonus material.

Almost twenty years since the creation of the band, and over a decade since the music was last available, this collection pulls together fine examples of the The Traveling Wilburys official works.
The previously released albums Traveling Wilburys Vol.1 and Traveling Wilburys Vol.3 feature without doubt some of music's greatest singer-songwriters -- George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan -- as the iconic band The Traveling Wilburys. Both albums are combined into this release and features bonus tracks of rare and newly mixed previously unreleased music along with a bonus DVD featuring a 24-minute documentary showing unseen footage of the Wilburys and their five video clips.
