naw - i got the original wilburys albums - like i say - on cassette in 1988 and '91 respectively. Both were certainly available as CD also, and when i eventually did get 'em on CD a few years ago, the Vol 3 was a kosher Warner Bros release and the Vol 1 was one of those 'Record Club' versions from the US such that it was still 'p in a circle' 1988 Ganga Distributors, but marketed by BMG special markets or something...
both official...
Christ - i'm a right fookin' anorak...
