Traveling Wilburys? What gives?

Hi all,

I just logged onto Amazon to purchase some music (good prices, no tax, free shipping, GREAT customer service) and "The Traveling Wilburys" came to mind as one of those cds that I just never got a round to buying 15 years ago.

Much to my surprise, I found that it's out of print. Can this be? I saw that there are some individuals selling used cds for $30 to $45.

It just seems odd that such a popular album (in its' day) would be out of print. Has it been released under another name? Is there some legal dispute over licensing and or royalties?

Any information would be appreciated.

On another note, I just picked up Nickel Creek's second CD at Target for $12 and was blown away. These kids are talented beyond their years. I've since ordered the debut album from Amazon and will be attending a Nickel Creek concert on Friday night in the small Central California town of Hanford (home of Vandersteen). Maybe I'll see Richard there?

Thanks for the info and my apologies for the delayed follow-up.

Nickel Creek was AWESOME. I have to agree with the above regarding the level of talent. It's amazing how much Chris Thiele (sp?) carries the group. He is an incredible talent. To add to the analogy Midwestcoast, I think he is to the mandolin as Bela Fleck is to the banjo. Not only is he technically near perfect, but also posesses the creativity to completely redefine the instrument.

Another poster contacted me privately with a website where I can purchase the whole library "new" for not a whole lotta' money. Thank you though to the rest of you who were so kind to offer a copy. I appreciate it.

Hi all,

After extreme desperation trying to track down a copy of Traveling Wilburys Vol 1, I thought of trying my luck on the good old 'gon.
Does any one have a copy of Vol 1 in CD format that they are interested in selling at a reasonable price ?
Thank you in advance for all the assistance,

J.R

You can get just about anything you please on E-bay. - as evidence by the 45 hits for the TWs.

I guess travel headphones should be noise cancelling, so AirPods won't suit noisy trips I guess. I don't know what design you prefer, but different travel blogs confirm that

MonoDeal headphones are perfect for travelling (the price is rather loyal, about 40-50$ ).
