CHECK YOUR WILBURY

An early word of caution about the new Wilburys collection sets.  Make sure you know what you're ordering if you're buying these sets online.  There have been Traveling Wilburys 2CD+1DVD collections on the bootleg market for years.  eBay and even Amazon have been selling them, apparently in droves.  The package quality is decent as far as bootlegs are concerned, but the audio/video will not nearly be that good.

I would use the press release about the upcoming official Traveling Wilburys Collection as a guide.

But in summary:  If the CDs have 10 bonus tracks each, they are bootlegs

If the DVD has 2 hours of random footage, it's a bootleg.

If there's a cheesey (and misfitted) font over the original Volume One CD artwork, it's a bootleg.

NEWS UPDATES

AOL is tinkering with their software again and this time knocked out anyone's ability to edit their websites.  I'll be posting any "finds"... here for the next few days while AOL clears up their web publishing bug.

GEORGE LAMB SHOW

Face The Music Online put a link to George Lamb's radio show on BBC 6 Music, where the main event from last night was live music from ELO.  Turns out to be nothing we haven't heard before.  Evil Woman, Showdown, Can't Get It Out Of My Head and 10538 Overture/Do Ya from 1976.  Anyone with a good collection of ELO radio shows probably have these already.

THE WILBURYS ARE COMING...

We're step closer to the Wilburys comeback:
