Buy the Albums: Which Edition You Actually Want
There's a real decision to make here, not just a list of links. Vol. 3 has rarely been sold as a true standalone release in recent years, most of what's currently in print bundles both albums together in one form or another. So the question isn't really "which album," it's "which package." Here's what's actually worth buying.
The Full Catalog: The Traveling Wilburys Collection
This is the one most people should start with. It bundles both Vol. 1 and Vol. 3, adds the bonus tracks (Maxine, Like a Ship, Nobody's Child, Runaway), and throws in the documentary and all five music videos. Full details on what's in it here.

The Traveling Wilburys Collection (2 CD + DVD)
Both albums, all four bonus tracks, and the bonus DVD with the documentary and all five music videos. The complete studio catalog in one purchase.

The Traveling Wilburys Collection (3LP Vinyl Box)
Both albums on audiophile vinyl, plus a bonus 12-inch of extended and remixed material not available anywhere else. Linen-bound box, poster, and postcards included. The version collectors actually want.
Check Price on Amazon →Just Vol. 1
If you only want the debut, either to start smaller or because you already own Vol. 3 some other way, both formats below are the original ten-track album on its own.

Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 (CD)
The debut album on its own, no bonus tracks, no DVD. The cheapest way in if you're not sure yet whether this band is for you (you'll be sure by track three).

Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 (LP)
Same ten tracks, on vinyl, without the Collection box set's extras or price tag. A solid middle option between the CD and the full 3LP box.
Check Price on Amazon →Both Albums, No Extras
Want Vol. 1 and Vol. 3 together without paying for the DVD and packaging of the full Collection box? This is the leaner option.

The Traveling Wilburys, Vol. 1 & Vol. 3
Both records, none of the box set extras. Good if you specifically want the music and don't care about the documentary or bonus tracks.
Check Price on Amazon →Our Recommendation
If you're buying once and want the definitive version, get the Collection, CD/DVD if you want the documentary and videos, vinyl if you're building a proper collection and don't mind paying more for the pressing quality. If you're just testing the water, the standalone Vol. 1 CD is the cheapest legitimate way to find out whether this band is for you.
Curious what's actually on each release? Compare Vol. 1, Vol. 3, and the full Collection track by track.
