The Allman Brothers Band The Capricorn Years 9cd Box [japan] (2007) [flac]

FINALLY AVAILABLE ABBS FIRST EVER SHOW BUT WITHOUT GREGG Duane and Gregg Allman formed their first band, the Escorts, which evolved into the Allman Joys, in the mid-1960s. By 1967, they had moved to St. Louis, where a Los Angeles-based recording executive discovered them; they consequently moved out West and were renamed the Hour Glass, cutting two unsuccessful albums for Liberty Records. . Duane then moved back East to pursue a career as a session musician at Muscle Shoals Studios, Alabama, while Gregg stayed behind in Hollywood, bound by contractual obligations with Liberty, who believed he could hold a solo career.

When the Allman Brothers Band’s fifth album, Brothers and Sisters, was released on Capricorn Records in August 1973, the legendary southern blues-rock group had already achieved world-wide fame with their 1971 live album, At Fillmore East. This success was followed by the tragic loss of their founder, leader and musical visionary, guitarist Duane Allman, who died in a motorcycle crash on October 29, 1971. While regrouping under the leadership of singer/organist Gregg Allman and guitarist/vocalist Dickey Betts, The Allman Brothers Band soldiered on with Brothers and Sisters, which turned out to be their most successful recording to date.

Allman Brothers fans are a hardy lot. For years, make that decades, they have been inundated with reissues of the same material with teasers thrown in, or have been given truly bizarre compilations such as the Madacy ripoff entitled Essential, which didn't include many of the band's biggest hits and on its second disc provided a straight reissue of Enlightened Rogues. The Deluxe Edition of Eat a Peach is something different, however. For those who have been in the depths of confusion about the various Fillmore East reissues – whether the straight At Fillmore East album or the Fillmore Concerts set – this version of Eat a Peach, fully and beautifully remastered, does hold a bit of a treasure trove, though the word is that the second disc has been oft bootlegged.
