The Manuscript
Unseen often unfinished handwritten lyrics run throughout the book, as well as song arrangements, notes, sketches and recording logs, many of which are tipped-in or hand-pasted onto and between pages as individual facsimile reproductions.
From 'Handle With Care', writing and recording an album in nine days with the aid of a fridge, and getting band-name advice from Johnny Carson and the Pope, to the untimely passing of Roy Orbison and the 'Nobody's Child' charity record for Romanian orphans,
The Traveling Wilburys is a story of friendship and laughter, shot through with the Python-esque humour that they all enjoyed.
The Photography
Out-takes from official shoots by Neal Preston, Alberto Tolot and Caroline Greyshock accompany intimate photographs of the Wilburys writing, rehearsing and recording, including an unprecedented collection of Polaroid snapshots by the Wilburys themselves. The result is a candid look at how five of the greatest ever singers, songwriters and musicians ever to have strummed acoustic guitars joined together in a series of kitchens and living rooms to write two albums of unforgettable songs.
