Traveling Wilburys - "Traveling Wilburys Volume One" - CD releases, Wilbury Records/Warner Bros 9 25796-2 (USA); Wilbury Records CD 25796 (Canada), 18 Oct 1988:
The Traveling Wilburys on Volume One were Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty. Roy Orbison died on 6 Dec 1988 before the release of the single End Of The Line, and only his photograph is shown in the video of the song performed by the four surviving group members. The album tracks were added to this list later than the exclusive single tracks, which is why their R-numbers are higher. The US edition came in a "long box" - see below. For the reissue of this album in The Traveling Wilburys Collection with two bonus tracks, see Wilburys 2007.

![]() Wilbury Records/Warner Brothers 211 652-7 - front of pirated "Limited Edition", scan by John Gaylor |
As this CD was long deleted, several pirated releases appeared that looked genuine and featured "bonus tracks". One example was called the Traveling Wilburys Volume One Gold Edition and had the European catalogue number. The nine bonus tracks were lifted from the 12" singles (see below) and a Traveling Wilburys demo tape that was released as a bootleg CD. Thanks to Paul S. Levine for information about this. Thanks to John Gaylor for scans of a "Limited Edition" numbered 211 652-7 that looks like a genuine promotional item, but which is in fact a pirated release. It contains all the songs from Volume One and Volume Three (see 1990) with extended versions of Handle With Care, End Of The Line and Wilbury Twist. |

MMC Import was founded in Hungary in 1990, so the copy was released there after that. The labels are different from the German release. MMC released their own version of Traveling Wilburys Volume Three in Hungary in 1990, see Wilburys 1990. |

Traveling Wilburys - "Traveling Wilburys Volume One" - vinyl LP releases, АнТроп П91 00223/Anfon P91 00223 (Russia), 1991:
![]() Anfon P91 00223 (Russia) - front scan by Alex Ivanov (variant 1) |
These very collectable records with a unique sleeve are unofficial, so are
also listed in Questionable Releases. АнТроп (Anfon or Antrop) was a record company run by Andrei Tropillo.
The first two record labels have the flags of the new Russian republic,
which came into existence in 1991. The sleeve and the record labels are dated 1991, but Alex Ivanov says it was not in fact released until 1993. As can be seen there are several rear sleeve variations, brown, grey and dark grey. Manuel Garcia Jara has a copy with alternate record labels, bought in Lithuania. These labels do not have the Russian flag. Manuel says the records with the labels without the Russian flag were sold in former republics of the Soviet Union such as the Baltic States, and the Russian flag was removed for political reasons. This copy has a dark grey rear sleeve. |

There was also a USA 3" CD single in a card cover (Wilbury Records CSIG 000145 2-27732) - scans required, also scans of any 5" CD single releases.
The Japanese 3" CD single (Wilbury Records/Warner-Pioneer 10P3-6073) came in a standard card sleeve and a "snap pack". A snap pack was a uniquely Japanese design that was essentially a mini digipak, hinged at the top, with the CD in a plastic tray in a 6" x 3" pack on the rear flap. The lower half of the plastic tray could be snapped off in order to create a 3" x 3" digipak, although serious collectors prefer to leave the snap pack complete. The tracks are listed as being from Wilbury Records/Warner-Pioneer 25P2-2327 (CD), 23P1-2327 (LP) and 23P4-2327 (cassette). The "10" at the start of the catalogue number indicates the price of ¥1,000 (before the introduction of sales tax in Japan).
Thanks to Wil Gielen and Hans Seegers for information and scans. Scans of the standard Japanese card sleeve required!
