Following up yesterday's post about The Traveling Wilburys, I realized that both of their albums are out of print around the world! Vol. 1, at least, is an album Rolling Stone put in the top 100 albums of all time. But you can't find it. I have a cassette of the album, but I need the CDs!
According to the Wikipedia, "The two Traveling Wilburys albums have extremely limited availability and have been left out of print in most territories. This has been said to be due to rights issues between the different members of the band, most notably Roy Orbison's widow. However, Tom Petty announced on his XM radio show that both albums would be re-released sometime in the near future, with bonus tracks, a claim further substantiated in the February 2007 edition of Q Magazine in an interview with Jeff Lynne."

I can't wait until the release! I went to the Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers concert recently and Jeff Lynne joined them onstage to sing "Handle With Care." It was wonderful!
