MINTY CLEAN (double) VINYL!

PLAYS AMAZING !

~ Most amazing **BEST** SOUND QUALITY around ~

Original "limited edition" MOBILE FIDELITY SOUND LABS issue of the LEGENDARY WHITE ALBUM ! Was but a limited and long gone super-sound pressing from the mid-70s and highly sought some 40+ years later.

What distinguishes an Original master Recording LP from any other record ?

1. Original Master Recordings are exclusively transferred from the original stereo master tape that the musicians recorded in the studio (not from a second, third, or fourth generation copy of that master tape).

2. Each Original Master Recording employs Mobile Fidelity Sound lab's exclusive half-speed mastering process, thus capturing every nuance of sound from the master tape.

3. Quality, not quantity, is the overwhelming consideration in the creation of each Original Master Recording. The number of pressings is strictly controlled. These limited editions assure you that the quality of the last pressing matches the quality of the first.

4. Original Master recordings are custom pressed overseas by the Victor Company of Japan (JVC). Super Vinyl, an exclusive compound far superior to even so-called 100% virgin vinyl, is utilized to achieve maximum clarity and startling quietness.... Super Vinyl also bestows unsurpassed durability to each Original Master Recording LP, achieving a "playing lifespan" at least five times longer than mass- produced records.

5. Each Original Master Recording is ultra-packaged to maintain flatness and prevent warpage.

MFSL became well known for quality vinyl pressings and went out of business in the 1990's -- their pressings are now extremely sought after and only getting harder to get by the day....

***COMPLETE ISSUE including two fold-out MOBILE FIDELITY INSERTS

"Eat A Peach" by the Allman Brothers was the last to include founding member and lead slide-guitar player Duane Allman, who was killed in a motorcycle accident while the album was being recorded. The album contains tracks that were not used on the legendary 1971 Fillmore album and tracks that had been completed just before Duane's death.

This album came close on the heels of their breakthrough At Fillmore East set and featured the boogie rocker classic "One Way Out" and two entire album sides devoted to "Mountain Jam", a 33-minute improvisation. The remainder of the album was recorded in-studio and served to cement the band's reputation as innovative Southern rockers. Several tracks featured a new emphasis on more-lyrical melodic work, notably on "Melissa" and the guitar classic "Little Martha." The lilting "Blue Sky" became an album-oriented rock radio staple, while "Ain't Wastin' Time No More" served as both a quiet generational anthem and a personal statement of purpose by the band in the face of Duane's death.

The widespread story regarding the origin of the album's title, that the truck involved in Duane's fatal motorcycle accident was a peach truck, is not correct; the truck involved was a flatbed lumber truck. Rather the album name came from something Duane said in an interview shortly before he was killed. When asked what he was doing to help the revolution, Duane replied, "There ain't no revolution, it's evolution, but every time I'm in Georgia I eat a peach for peace."
