For about a week I have been reading rumors about a 40th Anniversary release for The Allman Brothers Brothers and Sisters album. Supposedly a new remaster will be accompanied by a second disc with the Winterland Concert from 1973. Has anyone read anything else about this?
I would be interested in this one too - especially if it includes a live disc as the second disc. Unfortunately, it probably won't be a complete show.
Here is the first site that I ran across with the initial information. It first posted on Mar 22, 2013. I believe that the one or two other notices I have read may have picked up the news from here: http://www.imwan.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=83133. One of the posters on that forum mentioned "...no details yet, but Bill Levenson (co-producer of Duane Allman's Skydog box set, among others) posted a quick blurb on Facebook about being at Sterling Sound for a mastering session for Brothers And Sisters and Live At Winterland." I went to what I believe was his Facebook page and couldn't find the note. So I held off on this for a day or two. I figured that if the speculation on IMWAN was valid someone on this forum would eventually show up with more/better details. (Members of this forum being the best informed and most exact of all music aficionados...) But because this is an album I have a deep emotional attachment to I grew impatient... and figured I would post anyway. Thanks
Reading the link a delux edition of Eat A Peach was mentioned. Anyone know about, or have a link to that?
Eat a Peach Deluxe was release din 2005 with a bonus disc. According to the Amazon listing "Eat A Peach 2CD Deluxe Edition features the remastered version of the classic album on Disc One, while Disc Two showcases the complete,legendary performance of the Allman Brothers Band at the final June 27, 1971 Fillmore East concert, including nearly 70 minutes' worth of highly charged, never-before-heard performances." Right now it is pretty cheap on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Eat-Peach-All...1364428821&sr=1-1&keywords=eat+a+peach+deluxe
I was always disappointed that the DE for Eat A Peach did not include any studio alternate takes. Gregg Allman even mentions the band laid down multiple takes of Les Brers In A Minor during the sessions; that said, the bonus disc is a keeper.
I have been on the fence about "upgrading" Eat A Peach. I will probably get the Audio Fidelity that is supposedly to be released this year. However, I have been on the fence because I think the DE version sounds really good. If the DE version of Brothers and Sisters is similar, it is going to be a nice release.
Where did you read this one of the poster about this? I would love to see it come to fruition.I think thatit is supposedly to be released this year.that would be desirable.
Interesting. I sure hope there are B&S out takes. I have a disc of them and there are some worthy things for sure. Regarding the Winterland show, the 9/26/73 show was broadcast on KSAN and recorded to multitrack tape. Sides 1 and 2 of Wipe The Windows are from that show...an average show from that era. The 12/31/73 Winterland was broadcast huge...biggest radio broadcast across the U.S. sine the days of FDR's fireside chats...an exceptional show to boot.
IIRC, the Allmans were going to release the 12/31/73 Winterland material as part of their official bootleg series a few years back before Kirk West was fired and the releases were put on indefinite hold.
Gregg Allman has been in dispute over Allmans out-takes with Universal for years, maybe things are sorted now?
I just remembered, I've got a pre order for the MFSL SACD as well...might be another big year for Allmans recordings. Here's hopin' !
There WAS another '73 release lined-up (and mastered), but not that specific show - in any event, it was a damned shame.
Listening to the Feb.1970 Fillmore CD...love Duane's intro to Whipping Post, " here's a song off our record... " I love that. At that moment, it was their only record.
I have an alternate mix (diff. vox and organ solo), plus the song runs about 20 or so seconds longer.
I'd love to have a show from 1975...the Bakersfield and Oakland shows were recorded. King Biscuit Flower Hour was on hand to record the March 1976 show @ Nassau Coliseum...Tucker opened the show.
Would certainly buy a deluxe edition of "Brothers & Sisters" if the bonus material has something to offer which we don't have yet.
