The release was overseen by George Harrison's estate, as the rights holder for the Wilburys' catalogue, and ensured that the band's recordings were available for the first time since they went out of print in the mid 1990s.[2] Two of the bonus tracks were completed for the box set by Jeff Lynne, who co-founded the Wilburys in 1988, and Harrison's son Dhani. The Traveling Wilburys Collection was commercially successful, topping albums charts in Britain, Ireland, Australia and several other countries.

Though the original issues enjoyed success, this re-release reached even greater heights, quickly topping the UK Albums Chart, the Australian ARIA Charts, Ireland's Albums Chart, New Zealand's Albums Chart, Apple's iTunes, and Amazon's pre-order and sales list. In the United States, the set debuted and peaked at number 9 on Billboard's Billboard 200 album chart,[13] beating the record held by Nirvana's With the Lights Out for the highest debut of a box set, although Nirvana's sold more copies (119,000).[citation needed] It remained on the Billboard 200 for 13 weeks. The album also set the biggest first week UK sales for a box set. Over 1,827,000 copies have been sold worldwide to date.
