Allman Bros - Eat A Peach 1972 US 1st Press VG/VG+

THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND - EAT A PEACH

Own an epochal, deeply emotional monument of rock history with the original 1972 US double-LP first pressing of Eat a Peach by The Allman Brothers Band. Released on Capricorn Records (2CP 0102) as a poignant, legendary tribute to founding guitarist Duane Allman following his tragic passing, this magnificent gatefold masterpiece seamlessly blends studio brilliance with raw live energy. It houses Duane’s final, breathtaking studio recordings—including his soaring, beautifully melodic guitar work on "Blue Sky"—alongside a jaw-dropping, side-long 33-minute live performance of "Mountain Jam" recorded raw at the Fillmore East. Verified by the highly coveted, early solid-pinkish Capricorn labels, this heavy analog wax delivers the ultimate vintage warmth and unmatched sonic depth. Complete with its iconic, surreal gatefold artwork and insert booklet, this pristine double LP is an absolute, top-tier cornerstone for any elite classic rock or vinyl purist archive.

1972 US first pressing release by Capricorn Records, catalog # 2CP 0102.  Double album (2xLP) pressed at Terre Haute plant.  Variant pressing where Duane Allman is omitted in songwriter credits on D label but included on album insert and there are some other minor differences here and there from other TH pressed first pressings.

Sleeve grades VG+.   The soft textured cardboard outer gatefold sleeve is pretty clean but shows a little ring wear, dinged but shaped corners.  Some edgewear, mostly along the top, but seams and spine are intact and strong.  The interior gatefold is pretty much pristine and the back cover is excellent except a bit of ring wear.  The original insert is included and is in NM condition.

Vinyl grades VG.  Most of the four sides play VG+ but caught a couple instances of surface noise behind the music.  Discs have been ultrasonically cleaned.  For some reason there are ~2 pops in between tracks C2 and C3, but they're completely in the track break.  Overall a great playing copy of this album.  The discs show standard light surface marks/scratches/hairlines from handling over the years.
