The Allman Brothers Band released their fourth studio album "Brothers And Sisters" in August 1973 on manager Phil Walden's Capricorn Records label. This was the band's first recording following the death of Duane Allman in a motorcycle accident in 1971 and was also the last album with Berry Oakley who died in a similar accident before the records release. It was a huge success reaching No. 1 on the album charts and contains the hit singles "Ramblin' Man" and "Jessica." Butch Trucks son Vaylor is the child pictured on the front cover and Berry Oakley's daughter Brittany is on the back.
This copy of (CP 0111) is from the First Pressing and is in excellent condition. The gatefold cover still has its original Factory Shrink Wrap and is in near-mint condition as is the credits insert. Please see the pictures but note that the photo of the interior gatefold is from another copy. The disc test plays cleanly and is easily VG+ which is as high as I go on vintage vinyl. It was mastered by George Marino at the Record Plant in NYC and this copy was pressed at the Columbia Records plant in Santa Maria, Calif. The Side One dead wax is etched CP-0111 40412-RE1-1C A9 STERLING S2 except Sterling which is stamped.
In addition to its original packaging, this album will come with a high quality Anti-Static Round Bottom Inner Sleeve to hold the vinyl disc and a sturdy 3 mil. polyethylene Archival Quality Outer Sleeve.
Free shipping is included in the special corrugated album mailer seen in the last picture.
This vintage 12" vinyl album has been sitting upright on a shelf in climate controlled storage for the past 48 years. It has not been played in decades other than a quick test spin for this sale which found no skips or obvious flaws. Like all used records it should be cleaned and wiped with an anti-static brush to minimize the occasional pops that are part of playing vinyl albums. Buyers should note that this is a well-cared for but used record and it will have some minor imperfections.
