October 17, 1988 –
The Traveling Wilburys release their debut single, Handle With Care, (the B-side is Margarita,) on this date.
The group made a music video for this song that proved quite popular on VH1. Directed by David Leland, it has a sepia tone to give it a dusty, old-timey feel as we see the group performing the song around a microphone. It’s the only Traveling Wilburys video they made while Roy Orbison was still alive. Just two months after the album was released, Orbison died of a heart attack.
