Why Is It So Hard To Find A Traveling Wilburys Album?
No store ever has their stuff. Does anyone know if they'll EVER be re-releasing the ablums, or are they waiting 'till Dylan and Petty kick the bucket?

6. I think retailers are letting online stores take over catalog
CD's. Seriously, people are buying fewer CD's, so stores like Best Buy, Target, etc. are devoting less and less space to them. You'll find 20 copies of Ashlee Simpson, but anything older than a year or two is iffy, even at places that only sell music. There are some available on Amazon, and then there's:

14. There is no profit margin on CDs
Thanks to Walmart and Best Buy selling CDs below cost all the small stores are out-of-business. Now the chains cant raise prices for fear of egg-on-the-face. Anyway, kids download everything now. CDs (albums) are passe.

10. Legal reasons?
Tom Petty--under contract to MCA
Jeff Lynne--CBS
Roy Orbison--A&M
George Harrison--Capitol
Bob Dylan--CBS

Just a guess.

12. AHH I KNOW!!!!!! I went looking for a CD and could not find it I was sad
but at least my mom has some of their songs on tape.

Tweeter and the monkey man were hard for cash,
they stayed up all night selling cocaine and hash,
to an undercover cop who had a sister named Jan,
and for reasons unexplained she loved the monkey man.

I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooove that song! :7
