I just read on Billboard.com that the two Traveling Wilburys albums are finally gonna be re-released on June 12! Here's the story:
After being out of print for more than a decade, the two studio albums from all-star band the Traveling Wilburys will return to the marketplace in a variety of formats June 12 via Wilbury Records/Rhino, Billboard.com has learned.
"Traveling Wilburys Volume 1" and "Traveling Wilburys Volume 3" will be available together in one package with bonus tracks and a DVD of rare footage, as a deluxe linen-bound edition, a vinyl set and a digital bundle. The DVD boasts a 24-minute documentary and five music videos.
The Wilburys formed in 1988 after Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Roy Orbison assembled at a California studio to record a B-side for the Harrison single "This Is Love."
The resulting song, "Handle With Care," was instead released under the Wilburys name, with the artists posing as a band of brothers. It went on to reach No. 45 on the Billboard Hot 100, while the "Volume 1" album hit No. 3 on The Billboard 200. The reissued version of the album includes the previously unreleased tracks "Maxine" and "Like a Ship."
Orbison died in late 1988 before a second album could be completed; it was eventually released as "Volume 3" in 1990. The set is expanded here with the B-side "Runaway" and "Nobody's Child," which was released on a benefit album for Romanian orphans.

Roy's the man! I've never owned either Wilburys album, just d/l's of the singles. I might have to check these out.

That is great- It's funny that they named the 2nd album Volume 3 because a bootleg was so popular from them they decided to treat it as volume 2. I think the Volume 3 album caused a little bad blood between Dylan and Harrison- Harrison said that Dylan would not do publicity for the album but had no problem picking up the paycheck from it. It was sort of a dig at him and sometimes I wonder about that...

Just two bonus tracks?
Probably won't get these (have the originals)

#1 debut in the UK! That bests both their previous peaks, #16 (Vol. 1) and #14 (Vol. 3).

^ Even though it's a repackage? I thought it would count as a boxed set.
On UKMix the stunning sales figure in the UK was revealed... 110,130 copies sold! I knew they did well in the US, but I didn't expect such a number overseas.

You may be right. These are just the two previously charted albums in one package but, box sets of previously released albums have charted before come to think of it (Beatles for instance)

^ I would call it a case of 'repressed purchases', it's like a whole new generation is buying them this time around!
