My parents owned this on CD and I loved it as I child, but I was so young I didn’t understand the liner notes (which I read over and over) were a joke. I really, honestly believed the Wilburys were brothers who started by travelling to the end of their block, etc. I saw this record for sale when I was a little older (and hopefully cooler) and looking at the cover it suddenly hit me… wait a minute, that’s Tom Petty! Roy Orbison! Bob Dylan! George Harrison! Is that Jeff Lynne? (The sound of this vinyl record of the greatest “supergroup” of all time has *almost* made up for my embarrassment about somehow not realising as a kid that the Wilburys were a bunch of my musical heroes all along… almost!)
