Description

These two classic studio albums by the Allman Brothers Band, produced during the lifetime of guitarist Duane Allman, a guitar legend admired by even Clapton, are once again available in a miraculous, premium, clean transfer from the very first pressings: the US original, a “Promotional Copy” pressed earlier than the general release, produced at the label’s main Presswell plant, and with a perfect first-press “A/A” matrix. This is the debut album! In superb condition, we deliver the freshest, highest quality sound possible, preserving the master tape’s freshness. This timeless live album by the Allman Brothers Band is on a different level from current remasters, capturing the rich sound quality of the original master tapes! Following the critically acclaimed “AT FILLMORE EAST: US ORIGINAL GENUINE FIRST PRESSING PROMO DJ COPY EDITION – PRESSWELL PRESSING & ALL MAT C/C/C/C,” we are proud to present the Allmans’ first two studio albums, released during Den Allman’s lifetime, meticulously restored from the same mega-rare promo copies! Starting off with their first album, “THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND,” this album captures the band’s energy at the time with its raw, straightforward sound. However, unlike their second and subsequent albums, it didn’t sell well upon release. Therefore, obtaining the original LP was a high hurdle, and even more so when it was a pre-release promo copy. While the mere fact that it was released on CD from such a promo copy guarantees a groundbreaking release, another hurdle lies in the condition of the vinyl. Finding a good-condition copy of the 1969 original is incredibly difficult. It was a flop at the time, after all. Finding a promo copy of this album is nearly impossible. Based on this literally mega-rare, mint-condition promo disc, we once again undertook a meticulous transfer. The CD is in such pristine condition that it’s hard to believe it originated from a 1969 vintage LP. Even enthusiasts who own the original version of this album likely never heard it in such crystal clear condition. A prime example is the ending of “It’s Not My Cross To Bear,” where the fade-out fades back in. No matter how hard you try, this section is plagued by scratching noise, but even just focusing on that section alone will give you a sense of the exceptional quality of this CD release. The sound quality itself is incredibly natural, especially considering it’s the original US promo and first pressing. An album by a large rock band like the Allman Brothers pairs well with the current remastering, and indeed delivers a powerful finish. However, the clarity and persuasiveness of this promo disc, pressed at Presswell Plant, New Jersey’s main plant, using fresh 1969 master tapes, is overwhelming! This ultra-clear transfer fully brings back the charm of the first album, from Greg’s wild vocals throughout the album, before he mastered the laid-back vocal style of his second album, to Duane’s psychedelic playing. Even the quiet performance of “Dreams,” which is prone to scratching, is incredibly clear and natural, allowing you to enjoy it from start to finish. The opening track, “Don’t Want You No More,” feels so different from the current remastered CD that it’s easy to mistake the mix for something else. Experience the album’s authentic sound, knowing you’re in for a first-run promo release! Enjoy the debut album of this legendary band in the highest quality possible!
