TRAVELING WILBURYS : RECOVERED TREASURE |
|
Label : Voxx Time : 74:15 Venue : studio Date : 1988-1990 Quality : Demos and Studio Recordings (A+) Review (Bob's Boots) : This Japanese release from the Beatles specialist Label "Voxx", presents the outtakes, early mixes, and demos from both of the Travelling Wilburys albums from 1988 and 1990 respectively. The 'Volume 3' portion of the cd is reportedly the first ever direct digital transfer from a Warners in-house tape. Certainly, the overall sound quality is better than all previous CD releases of the same material. As a bonus, the last five tracks, which include a Wilburys promotional radio slot and a recording of George Harrison fooling around, are new to CD. The music is great throughout, and a pleasure to listen to. A nice companion to the official Wilbury discs. The packaging is simple, but smart and effective; including an accurate and amusing essay on the history of the Wiburys printed on the inner sleeve. |
