October 7, 2006

The Allman Brothers Band At Fillmore East Polygram 1971 (1986) While the recent release of Eat a Peach, Deluxe Edition is a most welcome addition to the Allman Brothers Band discography, it incandescently illuminates the pornographically haphazard release history of this important material.
