Duane & Gregg Allman - Duane & Gregg Allman 1968 (1972) mp3@320 {1337x}-kawli

Duane and Gregg Allman recorded these cuts right before they started The Allman Brothers Band, getting fairly close to what would eventually become known as Southern Rock. This is basically Duane and Gregg jamming with a band called the 31st Of February (notably Butch Trucks, among others). Around the same time they met up with a band called The Second Coming, featuring a guitarist by the name of Dickey Betts. They would soon start jamming together, which would give birth to The Allman Brothers Band.

Of greatest interest must be an early version of one of Gregg's sweetest songs, "Melissa", here surfacing for the first time (slightly different from the popular version).

Duane & Greg Allman is the second studio album by The 31st of February, recorded at TK Studios, Hialeah, Florida in September 1968. The planned album was never completed as the band broke up shortly afterwards, and the demo recordings remained unreleased until Bold Records released this album in May 1972. It was then attributed to Duane and Gregg Allman who in the mean time had established themselves in The Allman Brothers Band together with Butch Trucks, The 31st of February's original drummer.

Bolder Records released the opening track "Morning Dew" as a single in 1972, backed with "I'll Change for You". Neither the single nor the album made it into the record charts.

The album was re-released several times after 1972 on various record companies and with varying cover art in various countries, including Germany and Japan.
