I am just doing this as a favor to my fellow Roy fans, and as topics related to the solo Wilburys are usually permitted in this part of forum, I might as well put this here.
If you do sign it, can you please say so, just so I can have an idea of how many signatures posting here will bring.

Us Beatles fans, we are lucky to have all kids of bootlegs and re-releases, so it would be really nice if the Lefty fans can have such pleasures.

Lucky ?
Heck, it took until the fall of 2004 just to get 11 (!) of Roy's 1965-1973 MGM albums out on CD for the first time ! And those were ''official releases'' back when they first came out 30 or 35 years ago !
And on of of it, those came out on a cheap quality, UK only release !
... so, outakes, demos, and so on... ha, good luck.
Just as a bench-mark, all of you who don't exactly ''like'' Yoko ? Well Barbara Orbison is ten times worst as far as how she deals with Roy's catalogue !
Before the above-mentioned 2004 release she'd released quite a few of those songs... one or two at a time, on one compilation after another...
Her idea of keeping Roy ''still arround'' is selling of a song like ''In dreams'' for a Sears commercial !
But never mind bootlegs, outakes, demos and all that... just the two albums Roy recorded in 1978 (one was never released, and the other only had 1000 copies released) , just those would be a good start !
Not to mention ''Regeneration'' (1976) which is one of his better albums and has still yet to be released CD !
Then there's those ELEVEN unreleased (on CD) B-sides from his MGM period...
... none of those are in sight, yet, at Orbison-com, you can buy Roy tee-shirt, watches, crosses, ect...
Trust me, you Beatle and ex-fab fans don't know how lucky you've been and if it was more up to Barbara Orbison, than to Olivia Harrison, it would be a cold day in hell indeed before the Wilbury albums ever saw the light of day.

The only Roy album I have is the one with George on it "Mystery Girl".

Yep, certainly one of his finest... though he did many other very fines ones.
But if you like ''Mystery Girl'', you may want to get ''King of Hearts'' (1992).
Very much in the same vein and sound, about half of the tracks began as part of the ''Mystery Girl'' sessions. Loads of Jeff Lynne on this album...

Can I ask you to contribute to Crackerbox Palace in a delightfull way (again)
With all your knowledge of Roy...would you like to write us a separate thread about the connection between George and Roy?
I would love to see that.

To quote one of George's favorite t.v. characters: you have a ''delicate'' sense of humour...

Well, I signed, but couldn't pass it on, because unfortunately, apart from members of this forum, I don't really know any other fans.
