Description

Artist THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND

Title:   “Eat a Peach”

Label:   CAPRICORN ~ two LP set with gatefold jacket, catalog # 2CP 0102. 

FIRST PRESSING with textured cover and scarce factory hype sticker. 

Year:  1972

NOTE:  This album came from the extensive personal collection of an individual who retired from the retail music business in the early 80’s.  The albums have been stored virtually untouched and unplayed since that time in a climate controlled, non-smoking environment.  I will be selling many investment grade coloured vinyl LPs, promos, sealed LPs, and other rare collector items over the coming months.  If you desire MINT albums, you will not be disappointed.

Condition: 

This album is STILL SEALED in shrink wrap.  Shrink wrap is sparkling clean and nearly 100% intact, except for a small nick (less than 2 inches) at the center of reverse panel, almost unnoticeable.  Nice seams and spine.  Corners are nice.  Original hype sticker with song titles is affixed to the front at the top center. 

Stored in a moisture-free, smokeless environment.  Truly a worthy item for the most serious Allman Brothers collector who insists on only the finest!

Review:

“A tribute to the dearly departed Duane, Eat a Peach rambles through two albums, running through a side of new songs, recorded post-Duane, spending a full album on live cuts from the Fillmore East sessions, then offering a round of studio tracks Duane completed before his death.  On the first side, they do suggest the mellowness of the Dickey Betts-led Brothers and Sisters, particularly on the lovely "Melissa," and this stands in direct contrast with the monumental live cuts that dominate the album.  They're at the best on the punchier covers of "One Way Out" and "Trouble No More," both proof of the group's exceptional talents as a roadhouse blues-rock band, but Duane does get his needed showcase on "Mountain Jam," a sprawling 33-minute jam that may feature a lot of great playing, but is certainly a little hard for anyone outside of diehards to sit through.  Apart from that cut, the record showcases the Allmans at their peak, and it's hard not to feel sad as the acoustic guitars of "Little Martha" conclude the record, since this tribute isn't just heartfelt, it offers proof of Duane Allman's immense talents and contribution to the band.”

PLANNING A VISIT TO THE BALTIMORE/WASHINGTON AREA?

If so, please consider a visit to my booth (Booth 002, down stairs) at the ANTIQUE DEPOT antique mall in historic ELLICOTT CITY, MARYLAND (3720 Maryland Avenue, just off Main Street at the north end of town – open every day of the year except Christmas and Thanksgiving) for some excellent bargain-priced LPs and 45’s.

Also, I regularly set up at the monthly ARBUTUS RECORD & TAPE EXPO at the Arbutus Fire Hall on Southwestern Boulevard, Baltimore ~ usually held on the 3rd Sunday – but it’s always good to check and confirm).   If you let me know ahead of time of your interests, I will do my best to bring a few extra goodies for your consideration.

Thank you for viewing my auction, and good luck with your bids!
